Added support for playing contents of uncompressed RAR5 archives. Previously only RAR4 was supported.
Added manual search functionality to the subtitle download results window.
Improved positioning of PGS subtitles
Some optimizations for subtitle texture size. This should improve performance on systems with multiple screens. And also reduce GPU memory usage.

Allow using externally installed LAV Filters as internal filters when our own LAV Filters folder doesn't exist.
Added advanced option "AllowInaccurateFastseek", which is enabled by default. When enabled fast seek (to keyframe) is allowed to be very inaccurate (max difference 20 seconds) in files with huge keyframe intervals. When disabled the allowed inaccuracy is much lower, when deciding between a fast and normal seek. For example 30% of jump size.
If a playlist entry points to an URL, then display the title/label in player title bar instead of the URL.
Limit max video height returned by Youtube-DL to 1440 by default. Higher resolutions may not play smoothly due to bandwidth throttling by Youtube.

For example when using any of the jump hotkeys (such as RightArrow), the maximum inaccuracy is now 30% of jump size.
Add multiple monitor support for ICC color management.
Changed default subtitle font to Tahoma. This should fix a problem that causes certain Unicode characters to be displayed as squares.

Replace the internal filters with LAV Filters. LAV Filters are modern open source DirectShow filters based on FFmpeg. They are known to be reliable and fast and overall should be more stable than the old filters. MPC-HC integrates LAV Filters directly and no extra installation steps are required. The embedded version of LAV Filters doesn’t interfere at all with other installed DirectShow filters (including the standalone versions of LAV Filters).
Support loading HTTP/RTSP/UDP/RTP streams using embedded source filters
Windows 8.1 support.
Many more bugfixes and improvements, check the changelog for details.

Changes for v1.7.0.7562 Beta - v1.7.0.7662 Beta

Replace the internal filters with LAV Filters:
· LAV Filters are modern open source DirectShow filters based on FFmpeg. They are known to be reliable and fast and overall should be more stable than the old filters. MPC-HC integrates LAV Filters directly and no extra installation steps are required. The embedded version of LAV Filters doesn't interfere at all with other installed DirectShow filters (including standalone versions of LAV Filters).
· Note to XP users: hardware decoding is only supported on nVidia graphic adapters. If you really need a DXVA decoder, you can use a standalone version of MPC Video Decoder.
· Support loading HTTP/RTSP/UDP/RTP streams using embedded source filters
· D3DFullscreen can now switch to windowed mode (just like regular fullscreen mode)
· Audio Switcher: Show all audio tracks available, including all the embedded tracks exhibited by the source filter and the external tracks.
· Playlist: Add a "Move to Recycle Bin" right click option, with optional keyboard shortcut
· Add a command line switch (/device) to open the default video device
Add support for playing from standard input:
· Use "-" as a special filename to designate the standard input.
Examples:
· > mpc-hc.exe - < sample.ts
· > a_prog.exe | mpc-hc.exe -
D3DFullscreen changes:
· toggle hotkey is now disabled by default
· support for madVR has been removed (it already has exclusive mode)
· 10-bit RBG output now falls back to 8-bit output if the display does not support it
· Remove D2VSource. It's unmaintained and basically unused.
· WebUI: Switched to HTML5 and improved the cross browser support (IE8 or newer is needed, other browsers should work fine)
· Updated Basque, Simplified Chinese, Czech, French, German, Greek, Polish, Romanian and Slovak translations
· Updated Little CMS to v2.5 (git 8928bed)
· Updated Unrar to v5.0.8
· Updated MediaInfoLib to v0.7.64
· Updated ZenLib to v0.4.29 r444
D3DFullscreen fixes:
· fixed strange focus behaviour when always on top is enabled
· fixed VMR9 D3DFS minimizing when losing focus
· fixed thumb mouse buttons no working when D3DFS has focus
· Various fixes for better playlist support
· Fix the handling of aspect ratio changes when using EVR-CP or Sync Renderer with DXVA decoding

Changes for v1.6.1.4360 Beta - v1.6.2.4902

MPC-HC is passing through very hard times. We never had many developers and a couple weeks ago
the main developer who was responsible of maintaining our internal filters code base decided
to stop contributing to MPC-HC and to create a new fork of the project based on a different,
more closed, style of development.
Now we are in dire need of new developers of any kind. If you can code a little, or you can create
logos for the player and images for the file associations, or you can create/maintain the main
website, please join our IRC channel and talk to us. If you think your skills are lacking,
let us be the judge; any help is always appreciated.
Find some easy ticket on our trac page, fix the problem, post the patch on trac or come on IRC
and we'll review it for you.
We care about keeping an open project open and free for contributions wherever they may come from.
