Media Player Classic Problems

post #1 of 12

Thread Starter 
I use Media Player Classic to watch ripped BD's and DVD's. Tonight, I tried to watch Avatar after ripping it to a MKV file. It started but had no video. I rebooted and tried again. This time, it played fine, but there are no controls in MPC... by that I mean the skip, pause, play, stop, etc 'buttons' are all missing. Instead, I have a blue progress bar with a blue square for the indicator. The sound and video work fine. The only way I can exit the program is with ALT+F4. I rebooted and tried a couple of DVD rips that I played last night (when MPC was working fine.) I cannot get it working properly now. I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions on how to get this back to working again. Thanks!

System specifics:
Win7 Enterprise (32-bit)
Asus 5550 HD (ATI) video card
Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 1.4.2758

Sounds like you have D3D FullScreen enabled, as far as the navigation menus and such just re check them in the view menu.

I'll check the settings again, but I did have those selected in the view menu. Thanks.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. This is going to sound really stupid, but is there a way to turn off the On Screen Display (OSD) in Media Player Classic? I have no idea how, but somehow it turned itself on by accident. Per dozens of returns on Google I went to Options/Player/Other/Show OSD, but the option there was already non-ticked. What the heck is going on??

Wow. I feel like an idiot, but that fixed it. I still can't believe there was absolutely no hint on how to turn on/off the OSD on any of my Google searches. Maybe my Google-fu was weak with this one.

Thanks!

I might be wrong on this, but I'm thinking that Ctrl-J is the command to turn on/off MadVR's Information OSD, not MPC-HC's. Maybe that's why you didn't find the info easily?

I never saw OSD for MPC-HC, how do you turn that on/off?

That says "Ctrl-J is the command to turn on/off MadVR's Information OSD, not MPC-HC's". That would mean there are 2 different types of OSD. Ctrl-J does nothing for me.

It's also the control to turn-off/on mpc-hc's Info OSD - but I think it depends which Outpout method you use whether or not it will display. - I think it only works with EVR Sync or EVR Custom Pres.

I just use MPC-HC once in a while to view a video, usually mpeg2 or vob.
