Can't play anything using MPC-HC?

Recommended Posts

Hi, no idea what changed but suddenly nothing will play using MPC-HC as an external player. I've removed it from the Emby for WMC Configurator, removed and reinstalled MPC-HC, Added it again in the configurator but to no avail. If I use the internal player everything plays fine. If I could turn subtitles on or off on the fly then I would leave the internal player set.

 

Anyone any idea? It's probably something really simple I am missing! Oh, I've reinstalled Server and Emby WMC apps too.

 

Kind regards,

Cog.

Hi.  That's a configurator log.  We need the emc log from when you tried to play something that didn't play.  And, while you're at it, please explain exactly what  "nothing will play" means.

 

Thanks.

Well that's weird because I checked to make sure it isn't running in the background and it's definitely not there?

Perhaps you've accidentally got MPC running on a non-attached monitor or something?

 

I do see a couple of unrelated things in your log that you should address:

 

1) Your Server IP has changed.  You should set the option in the app to find the server automatically and log in.  After that, if you want to set it to log in to a specific user you can.  This will speed up the app startup significantly.

 

2) You are running an old beta version of the server.  You should update it either to the current stable or beta release.

 

Finally, there is a new beta of EMC as well if you would like to update to it (you are on an old beta of that too).

I've set the app to find server automatically and it starts up fine now. I wondered why it was taking awhile, I guessed it was updating the database at the time. Both Server and WMC App updated to latest beta releases now. Updated MPC to latest build too but still nothing playing. I immediately pulled the latest log file so hopefully that will show I tried to play an episode of Blindspot.

Okay, both methods are throwing an error on the start and progress reporting but, perhaps, that only causes playback to not start with the external player.

 

It looks like we're getting a poorly formatted response from the server - or, at least, something it isn't expecting.  Luke, have the responses to playback progress reports changed in recent server versions?

No, this will have to be debugged.

MPC-BE (w/ Shark007 codecs/madVR) continues to work fine for me. Just got done watching a few movies.

It will be resolved two beta servers from now, thanks.

 

Thank you for being a part of the beta testing team.

Thank you for keeping up with WMC!! You guys can't get enough graditude in my book!!

Yep, what he said. I still think WMC is better than Theatre!

Server updated and now I can confirm that it is all working as normal.

 

Thank you so much for the fix, much appreciated indeed.
