Software Update: Media Player Classic – Home Cinema 1.9.7

In July 2017, version 1.7.13 of Media Player Classic – Home Cinema was released and the developers indicated that they will continue no more new versions would bring out.

These contain only minor improvements and the latest version of the LAV Filters and MediaInfo is always included. The changelog for version 1.9.7 can be found below.
