Media Player Classic development stalled in May 2006. The project itself is something of an umbrella organization for works by Gabest.

MPC is hosted under the guliverkli project at. It was developed as a closed-source application, but later relicensed as free software under the terms of the GPL-2.0-or-later license. The original Media Player Classic was created and maintained by a programmer named 'Gabest' who also created PCSX2 graphics plugin GSDX.

Several other small fixes and improvements.Japanese MPC 6.4.8.3 audio playback on Wine.Fixed issue where recent file list could get cleared when opening a file with a very long path.Now such files are always played using the internal DirectShow codecs. These were only available in 32-bit builds, and were already not used by default anymore for a long time. Removed obsolete RealMedia and QuickTime frameworks.Their site has been offline for a long time.

Added prompt when enabling OpenSubtitle option, mentioning than an account is required on their website.

Strips html tags when found in SRT subtitles.

You can specify desired subtitle language(s) here: Options > Advanced

Added support for downloading subtitles for streams extracted by youtube-dl.

Some improvements related to the youtube-dl support.

You can of course change the setting to 4k if you prefer slightly sharper subtitles. This improves performance on such systems. In that case subtitles are now rendered at 1080p resolution (and then scaled to final size). This change only affects playback on screens with 4K resolution.

Changed default setting for subtitle texture resolution.

Note: The original MPC-HC was abandoned by developers in 2017 but this version carries on the legacy. Among other things we added custom toolbars. With its wide array of options, MPC-HC can be customized to fit almost any needs. Watch movies on any SSE CPU, even on your old computer back from '99. This is a mod of Media Player Classic design for home cinema usage. Media Player Classic was created and is currently maintained by a programmer named 'Gabest'. It has a built in DVD player with real-time zoom, support for AVI subtitles, QuickTime and RealVideo support (requires QuickTime and/or Real Player) built-in MPEG2/SVCD/DVD codec. Most important thing is that we're completely free, 0 spyware, 0 ads and no user tracking. The player supports all common video and audio file formats available for playback.
