Software Update: Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.7.2

Media Player Classic is a small no-nonsense media player with the look and feel of Windows Media Player 6.4. However, Gabest, the original creator of this program, discontinued development quite some time ago and several projects have sprung up based on the open source source code, including Media Player Classic – Home Cinema. The program handles the most commonly used media formats, has support for hardware acceleration and can be used in more than 25 languages. Version 1.7.2 has been released and the main changes made to it can be found below.

Highlights of this release:

• Many subtitle renderer performance improvements and bug fixes
• Minor UI tweaks, like showing the hidden main menu with Alt key
• High DPI improvements
• Redesigned the shaders malfunctioning system
• Many LAV Filters fixes and improvements, including various crash fixes
• Switched our translation system to use transifex, see this news post for more information
• New Croatian and Malay translations
