Topic: Frequent issues with youtube playback in MPC_HC

Hello,

I've been having a variety of issues with youtube playback. These include:

- Video stops, but audio keeps playing

- Audio stop, but video keeps playing

- Video stops entirely

- (Occasionally) Video gets stops too early


I'm using pretty much all the default settings. Any ideas? Is it an issue with MPC-HC, and if so, I would I set up a different video player to use with SVP?

I'll be happy to provide any additional information. Thanks in advance!

Re: Frequent issues with youtube playback in MPC_HC

Youtube's DASH formats (marked with (*) in SVPtube) are really tricky for video players.
Suggestions are:
- use latest night builds of MPC-HC and LAV filters
- don't expect good results for hi res video with slow Internet connection
- long videos gives more troubles


I would I set up a different video player

we know only two video players now able to load two live streams (by URL) simultaneously - MPC-HC and MPC-BE
if you know others - let us know wink

Ah, ok. I'll try the nightlies, where can I find those?

I also have this problem sometimes (video freezes and audio keeps playing) on svptube 480p... it only happens to me when I use "overlay mixer renderer" but that one also uses the least cpu% so I guess Ill play 360p

Re: Frequent issues with youtube playback in MPC_HC

480p is one of the resolutions in YouTube's DASH format. When SVPTube pops up, you'll see a little asterisk next to 480p. Try to play in resolutions that don't have the asterisk, it seems to be working for me so far.

Re: Frequent issues with youtube playback in MPC_HC

yes I have noticed that when I use "overlay mixer renderer" I no longer get framedrops and in default/old video renderer I get them so I switched to using overlay only and I encountered this problem with video freezeing after a while and audio keeps playing.

Now I switched back to 360p and it didn't happen again YET.

Also, I noticed that in "statistics" mpc-hc does not show current FPS anymore when using overlay renderer. But I guess that's normal
