As I use ini files to conveniently remember player settings, and sometimes transfer those settings to another pc, I will probably continue to use them.

As I said, I also tried out with an ini file the b3788 and it worked as well.
Errr... Are you sure that you have write access to the directory where the ini resides?

If so, try out the following:
- backup your ini file
- set the player to not use ini file
- delete the ini file
- set the player back to use ini file
- now try out again

- set the player back to use ini file

I went through all of those steps, but i still see the same behavior.

There was no need to delete the ini file, it disappeared automatically when the player was set to not use ini file, and reappeared automatically when the player was set back to use the ini file.

After doing what you suggested I went through the four steps I posted previously. The player still retains the last subtitle selected, and does not honor the Prefer external subtitle flag.

If, however, I deselect the option Keep history of recently opened files, then the Prefer external subtitle flag is honored.

It looks then like the behavior is related to that Keep history flag, rather than the use of the ini file. Even without an ini file, the player remembers the last selected subtitle if the Keep history flag is selected.

Yes - history remember selected subtitles. And it's remember even if select external(auto-loaded) subtitles.

Good find, what an investigation this was! Well, I personally don't use this feature, so that's why I wasn't affected. Although I'm not sure it's a good feature or not. How many entries will it remember?

I'm not sure how many entries. This ticket https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2425 suggests a default of 20 with mpc-be, but configurable in the box next to the keep history tab.

I use the keep history flag principally to remember the last opened position of a video file i.e. to resume play from that position. There may be another way to do that, but I don't know of one.

Sorry if this has been asked before but is there a way so that the chapter name is always visible in the 'time code' bar right next to 'Play', 'Pause' or what ever the current status is ???
When I jump to a chapter the name is displayed only for a few seconds !! I find that useful for music content like concerts, etc.

chros · 24th August 2018, 11:25

MPC-BE latest beta b3788 always (!) freezes when using After Playback - Standby. I didn't have this issue with 1.5.2 beta b3445. Can somebody confirm this? Thanks

Klaus1189 · 24th August 2018, 13:05

Try latest nightly also.

enable this setting in options->player->interface->just move mouse over one chapter adn its title is displayed.

Grimsdyke · 25th August 2018, 20:15

Thx Klaus, but this is unfortunately not what I asked ! I would like to have the chapter name always displayed in the 'time code' bar.

Klaus1189 · 27th August 2018, 17:08

I know, but I thought it might help you nevertheless.

Is there any way to make MPC-BE auto-size window with album covers? "Limit window proportions on resize" doesn't seem to work either with album covers.

It looks like this when you open a music file with album cover: https://i.imgur.com/cfmQGDJ.png

Would be much cleaner if it looked like this when opening a file instead: https://i.imgur.com/yBJSVcp.png

Worked like this in MPC-HC but I prefer to use MPC-BE as I like it more overall.

Is there some setting I'm missing or is this not possible?

Aleksoid1978 · 27th August 2018, 22:31

Auto-size with covers don't support.

Check - no freezes, MPC-BE close, system StandBy.

Thanks for checking! I still got the freeze every time (!) with latest beta and nightly. I'll put back beta b3445 today to see what happens.
To clarify it what happens:
- set player to standby
- it properly put the computer into sleep
- but when I wake up Windows then MPC-BE app is still there (it should have quit properly) and there's a Windows popup with 3 buttons that the application isn't responding

Just FYI, VSFilter (from HC) doubled in size for me with VS2017 15.8.1 so there might be a compiler bug. I have reverted to 15.7.6.

Maybe you system is "very fast" and MPC-BE does not have time to close

Sounds like you could try setting the WaitToKillAppTimeout a bit higher.
