Adding MPC-HC decoder to MediaPortal H.264 Video decoder (1 Viewer)

[VashStampede]

Hello there!

I want to use the MPC-HC video decoder in MP for H.264 decoding. I already registered the MPCVideoDec.ax file in the OS\SysWow64 folder (regsrv32.exe MPCVideoDec.ax).

But I cannot choose it in MediaPortal? Is there something else I can do, as I have a better quality in MPC with their codec then in MP with CoreAVC.

Thanks!

Try using x86 version of the codec, that should work.

Don't forget to unregister with '/u' the old one, and also don't forget Haali mediasplitter if you need it.

What you have done should work, it works for me. As what above has posted, make sure you use te 32bit version. After you register a codec sometimes you have to relogin to windows to see it.

Thanks. Using the 32-bit version worked!
