It’s been a nice journey and I’m personally pretty overwhelmed having to write this post. Otherwise, all things come to an end and life goes on.
So, if someone’s willing to really contribute and has C/C++ experience, let me know on IRC or via e-mail. This, unfortunately, means that the project is officially dead and this release would be the last one. While the project maintainer has hope that developers will reach out to him to continue development of Media Player Classic Home Cinema, it seems that the project will be abandoned if that does not happen.
The main reason for that is that development contributions have reached a new low, as the developer count has reached zero. The announcement on the official website of the project suggests that it may be very well the end of it. The program requires a CPU with SSE2 support for instance now, and several of the libraries and filters were updated. MPC-HC version 1.7.13 introduces new features and changes to the program. The developer of Media Player Classic Home Cinema released a new version of the player yesterday. Check out this thread on the Doom9 forum for information on this. Update: it appears that developers have contacted the lead of MPC-HC, and that development may continue after all. It plays virtually any media format out of the box, but lacks some of the advanced features that popular media players such as VLC offer. Media Player Classic Home Cinema is a full blown media player. You can read out initial review of Media Player Classic Home Cinema that we published in 2008 here. The player interface looks similar to that of Windows Media Player 6.4, a legacy version of the built-in media player for Windows, but similarities between the two programs end there. MPC-HC is a fork of the Media Player Classic application for Windows. The program is available as a 32-bit and 64-bit version for Windows, and may be installed or run as a portable program.
