Advanced MPC-HC Setup Guide - Page 12

i have a question for ATi users,
in CCC - Display COlor (digital flat-panel) settings
there is a COlor Temperature Control option:
Use EDID , you have this box checked or unchecked?

I am using Media Browser to launch MPC-HC. How does it decide what to pass to MPC-HC?

Uncheked. I tried to enable it and found picture too warm, couldn't fix it with other settings in CCC and TV. Also tried to make a pixel shader based on EDID values and found picture same warm too.
Maybe those values are just wrong. I mean they are common for all TVs for that model, but TV's matrices etc are bit different actually.

OSD feedback to user on a MPC-HC "Subtitle On/Off" command ?

Actually I'am doing some tests to find out how MPC-HC is behaving when uniquely controlled with a Remote Control (robustness, behaviour when pressing "unexpected" buttons on the remote control, focus-behaviour, Wife Acceptance Factor,etc).

I would like to know if it is possible to get an OSD confirmation when Subtitles are toggled On/Off with the "W" keyboard key (or whatever Remote Control button that has been adequately configured - I use LM Remote KeyMap for that purpose).
I verified that the "Next Subtitle" (and "Next Audio") commands trigger OSD, so that the user gets proper feedback when he presses the assigned Remote Control buttons, but no user feedback seems to come when a "Subtitle On/Off" command is sent to MPC-HC.

I'am actually testing with MPC-HC Build 1.5.2.3456 on a Vista Home - 32 bit environment PC.

Read with great interest your MPC-HC setup guide; thanks for the effort.

Just a heads up, but the new MadVR now does hardware deinterlacing through DXVA2 (similair to what VMR or EVR does) on cards that support it. So now there is one less step that is needed and you can remove ffdshow YADIF deinterlacer from the list of filters. (this is more centered for those of us using ATI/AMD cards as if you had Nvidia you could use LAV CUVID decoder to do hardware deinterlacing for a while now)

I'm having issues with madflac volume when watching content via hdmi. Is there a way to troubleshoot and find out why it's low compared to when I'm playing it on my pc?

Try WASAPI exclusive mode (by ReClock).

I currently only utilize the tv speakers, I haven't been able to invest in a surround sound setup yet. Will using ReClock benefit me even without Surround Sound?

Low volume problem with madFlac is often fixed by using WASAPI exclusive mode.

Thank you, I will start the setup now. I appreciate the help renethx.

Hmm, madVR DXVA2 deinterlacing is not optimized for Intel HD Graphics, heavy stuttering (Intel QS/libavcodec+DXVA2 deinterlacing+madVR). Intel QS+yadif+madVR works beautifully for all AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2 interlaced contents.

libavcodec is a decoder using CPU...?

Renethx, I've been having issues with reclock. I followed the http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...20#post1534720 but I get this error when trying to watch mkv's with flac.

The audio format is not supported by the hardware / driver:
48000 samples/sec
24 bit PCM
6 channels

I am using madvr, madflac, lav, and mpc-hc. Is there anyway I can get this to work? I've been trying everything and reading all over and finally decided to post the question. Thank you for your help.

Where do I select that? The only two options for 32bit are 32 bit and 32 bit ieee float. 24 bit has a padded 32 bit option. I tried all three in reclock just to be sure, but neither option works.

Two possible reasons when you met this caution:

You made a decoder or renderer configuration mistake or
Your HW is not sufficient.

Yours is the second one, sorry:

OKay, I'm glad that was explained. So should I delete reclock and go back to directsound or are there settings in in reclock so that I can at least hear the audio? I'm guessing I can't use the wasapi exclusive mode.

If i were you i would forget using ReClock for audio reasons and go back to ordinary Direct Show route.

Thank you ricabullah, and everyone else that helped me today. I'll start back using reclock, I'll just turn up the volume really high on the flac movies.

Dude, whatever you do, you wouldn't get bitexact surround sound over wasapi exclusive via ReClock unless you have an AVR and speakers, sorry.
(Using onboard analog audio outputs with PC surround speakers might be an alternative fix which i wouldn't advise at all.)

oops, I meant to say that I'll start back using direct sound. I will try reclock when I purchase an avr with speakers. Until then, I'll just use the default settings and listen through my tv speakers. Thank you again and sorry for the confusion.

OK, take care.

hello rica and mindrop!

which is the correct Reclock output mode?

WaveOut or Wasapi?

WASAPI of course. 24 bit padded to 32.

rica, for me this is very confusing. WaveOut means that ReClock chooses *WASAPI shared mode* so that LPCM audio streams are subject to resampling by Windows Audio Engine. ReClock tells "Audio: WaveOut (bit exact)", but this simply means ReClock does not resample. Windows Audio Engine still does. But if this is what you intend, that's OK.

Yeah, and "24 padded to 32" means speed adaptation is enabled. If one prefers "bit exact", "same as input" is only choise of course. But I suspect some people use ReClock for the purpose it was designed though.
