Steverido 6 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I have decided to switch my external Player to Windows Media Player. I find that the quality is better than MPC-HC. Also had issues with MPC-HC not loading correct language and loading subtitles. Settings don't appear to work. Tried changing several times. LAV settings options in MPC-HC are not the same as LAV settings if I install independently. I seem to recall that in the WMC configurator underneath Player path, you have to put arguments in such as fullscreen. And close player after player ends. I think those were the relevant ones. Does anyone remember what the arguments are please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37019 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I don't know but why even do this at all? Windows Media player is the same thing as the wmc internal player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One2Go 98 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Don'y understand that either running MPC-HC latest version with LAV filters and madVR as an external player that works flawless now for years. Must be something in your playing content like foreign language audio or subtitle tracks. All the command line parameters can be found using Google as MPC-HC is extremely popular with Home Theater enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried VLC and Windows Media Player and neither of those play another language or run subtitles. It is just MPC-HC. VLC crashes Emby when it closes. I would use that otherwise.

Thanks ! Long time ago Luke. I really love the chocolate theme that ebr coded. It works for me. I have always loved its layout. You need a device to switch theatre on and off too don't you?

Steverido 6 Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 What do you mean by switch on and off? Using Harmony ultimate remote to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37019 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well you need to launch the app, and then the remote will be able to control it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37019 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well you could set it to auto run on windows startup. Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steverido 6 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well you could set it to auto run on windows startup. Does that help? I will have a look at it. Depends on the themes available too. Wish I could code but never tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I understand your confusion now with your questions. Didn't theater used to be a Web app only when you first released it? And that was why I was asking about a device to start. What is chocolate coded in and am I correct that it needs to be changed to HTML to work in theater? It is open source code! Wondering if someone could complete it if they were paid. How much would we be talking about to do this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
