MPC going blank on puase/play

Hello,

I have just updated from K-Lite 16.2.0 to 16.3.5 and have been experiencing an issue when pausing my videos. Once I press play again; the screen remains black, but the audio continues as normal. The files i am using worked without issue with 16.2.0. A sample of the media info is pasted below.

I would appreciate any advice to fix the problem. Thank you.

Very weird. Does it happen on every pause?

Try with a different video renderer:
Options > Playback > Output

Can you copy this log here, so I can see which GPU and graphics driver you have?
Codec Tweak Tool > Generate Log

Hi, thanks for the response. Yes, it happens on every pause/play (tested on avi & mkv).

Switching the output renderer from MPC Video Renderer to Enhanced Video Renderer seems to have fixed the issue. MPC is playing as usual again

I recommend "Enhanced Video Renderer (Custom Presenter)".

Do you have time test a debug version of MPC Video Renderer for me? That can generate a log file that hopefully shows what ges wrong.

Let me know and I will compile a debug build.
