Henrie 1 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hi there, I recently updated to emby premire in my new WIN10 configuration, until now I was using MPC-HC as an external player in the MB3 version. Now I can't configure MPC-HC as the external player. It seems to be so easy but I can't make i works: C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe in the player path area {path} in the command line arguments area There are no more options, but it doesn't work, always the same error when trying to reproduce any movie... Error launching process: Type error: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined. Emby works fine with the internal player, there are no problems with the archives which can be opened without problem with the MPC-HC when tried directly. What can I do? Many thanks in advance.

Luke 28634 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 hi, did you research the required command line arguments for mpc-hc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jachin99 72 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Look over in the emby for wmc section. We had the same issue and someone came up with a script to make it work. Out of curiosity why use mpc hc when Emby theater also has madvr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrie 1 Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 hi, did you research the required command line arguments for mpc-hc? Required line arguments? What you mean with that? Until the reinstall I didn't need any arguments, MPC just works fine. Where I can find those arguments? I`m a basic user, can you help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 28634 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Why not just use the internal player then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoutingMan 86 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I use MPC-HC for 3D movie playback and don't use any additional command line parameters, just the Emby basics: C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe {path} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightsout 101 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Can you please describe your issue in more detail? Thanks. Sorry I add C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe in the external player path area. And I get this error "Error launching process: Type error: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined."

Guest asrequested Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Do you have {path} there, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Do you have {path} there, too? Negative. Does it need to be? I figured If the box said add the path here it would know what I was entering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 28634 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 you need to research the required command line arguments for your external player and make sure to configure them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 you need to research the required command line arguments for your external player and make sure to configure them. Yeah I'm not sure about that. It always worked in the Media Browser days just linking to the .exe. Seems like if anyone is using external players MPC-HC would be the most common. I would have thought this info would be easy to find around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Do you have {path} there, too? I tried putting {path} before it, with and without a space. Didn't help, same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I tried putting {path} before it, with and without a space. Didn't help, same error. You don't add it the actual path. It goes on the command line arguments section. Read through that page, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) You don't add it the actual path. It goes on the command line arguments section. Read through that page, again. Yes I had tried that, just did it again to be sure. No dice. Are you able to get it working like that? When the OP posted the same issue, you posted a git link that is no longer working, any idea what that was for?

Guest asrequested Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 And maybe you will let me help you get mpv dialed in, so you don't need MPC-HC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 And maybe you will let me help you get mpv dialed in, so you don't need MPC-HC? Right now it just says {path}, I copied some other peoples settings like /start and stuff like that but same error. The reason I use the HTPC is to watch something knowing I am getting the best quality, not using madvr feels like I am leaving something on the table. Although using MPV would be easier. Does it handle HDR passthough like MadVR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You don't have the full path of the player. You have to add the executable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 And here are my results with mpv compared to HDR pass through https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69872-hdr-tone-mapping-with-mpv/page-5&do=findComment&comment=718358 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightsout 101 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You don't have the full path of the player. You have to add the executable. Oh dear I'm sorry. What an idiot, it was buried in two folders with similar naming and I thought that was the exe. Thank you very much. Thanks for the HDR shot, I thought the Shield couldn't pass HDR?

Thank you very much. Thanks for the HDR shot, I thought the Shield couldn't pass HDR? It can if the video is full frame. That's the bug. If the frame hight is less than 2155, it doesn't enable HDR. So if you feel like trying mpv, I can't pretty much put a starter pack, together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
