MPC-HC x64 and Optimus Bug

After updating to KLCP 11.1.4
I got this error:


So I decided to uninstall and reinstall from KLCP 11.1.0 but now the installation stopped at the end and must be stopped using Task Manager.

Also, now the updater also stopped at the end of updating process

But every step of the installation is already completed including copying, registering files, and creating Start Menu items. That's why I'm confused why it wouldn't end successfully.
Also, reinstalling doesn't solve the madVR issue above

Thanks

UPDATE:
I noticed that the MPCHC settings is not updated according to the installation settings.
Also using EVRCP I get this error:

but the video and audio still play fine after I clicked OK.

One last thing, I also noticed that your installer forget to rename the mpc-hc64.exe and mpc-hc.exe for NVidia Optimus system.

Sorry for long post

UPDATE again:
After several uninstall and install, the KLCP installer finally manages to finish the installation process but after a long wait (or at least longer than it used to be) but the settings are applied to the MPC HC

Hmmm, maybe add the option for forcing use of alternative filename

Renaming the files make the updater not update mpc

Here's my log file:

Okay. Finally found the culprit (at least that's what I think)
Not installing x64 version of MPC-HC and using the x86 version resolves all the crash.

And about the hanging problem from the installer, I think it tries to connect to Internet but failed and keep retrying (I use proxy and I know that some programs can't use proxy). Because when I pulled the network cable, all went quickly.

If EVR-CP fails, then MPC-HC will fall back to using another renderer. So that is why video still plays. The only thing I can suggest to fix the error is to update both the Intel and the NVidia drivers.

It is not necessary to rename MPC-HC to use the NVIDIA GPU. You can also do that by editing the application profile of MPC-HC.
1) Download NVidia Inspector
2) Run Nvidia inspector
3) Click on the "Profile settings" button at the right of the driver version field.
4) Select "Media Player Classic" in the application dropdown menu
5) Add mpc-hc64.exe to the application list of that profile if necessary (by default it only lists mpc-hc.exe and mplayerc.exe)
6) set Enable application for Optimus to SHIM_RENDERING_MODE_ENABLE (0x00000001)
7) Shim Rendering Mode Options per application for Optimus = SHIM_RENDERING_OPTIONS_ENABLE_DWM_ASYNC_PRESENT (0x00000040)

Which NVIDIA GPU do you have? Optimus drivers are very buggy, specially for the 8xx series, so problems might not all be solvable. Using the Intel GPU is more reliable at this moment.

It shouldn't hang if connection fails. Is it a normal proxy?

Thanks for your reply.
My drivers are already latest version, so nothing I can do for that.
Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely try it.
I have NVidia 740M.
It's a proxy used by my university. I don't know what you meant by normal though. But I know it blocks torrent and some VPNs traffic

The install hang should not occur anymore in next version.

Nice. Thanks.
What about the madVR error in the x64 version of MPC-HC?

Probably failing for same reason as EVR-CP. Try to get EVR-CP working first, it is a less complex renderer than madVR.

I see.
I tried using EVRCP but it still popped up the error though it will still play normally after you clicked OK button. While madVR fail to render completely.

I wonder why it still work fine in the x86 version though

When EVRCP gives an error, it will not get used. Does EVRCP work in the x86 version?

Yes, it works in the x86 version

Latest update solved the problem with x64 MPCHC

I tried the NVidia Inspector tips, but I still like the rename solutions better because it more permanent. Using Inspector sometimes the setting can reset by itself (I know one of the trigger is driver update but I'm sure it's not only that as it sometimes reset when I don't update the driver)

So I hope you can consider to add the options to rename MPC executable in the installer

Thank you very much
