Haali not disposed after stopping video (2 Viewers)

[Seeco]

This seems like a major problem to me, is there any work going on on this? Playing a succession of 5-6 HD clips makes my computer crash, after 2-3 it's already sluggish and I get artifacts when playing video. If this is related to the MPC codec, is there another working codec that allows DXVA?

I'm using Windows 7, latest MP beta with latest SVN, SAF for codecs.

If this is MPC codec related, it should be brought up on the doom9 forum. This is where they develop the thing. I will check if something about this is already mentioned.

Oh, I was pretty sure I had read that this is related to the MPC codec If it's not then I guess that a lot more people should be having this problem! As it is now I play a video, then exit/restart MP, then play another etc. Not very high WAF in other words...

found a thread on Doom9. Dont know if it EXACLY the same. See below

Multiple Instances of Haali in taskbar - Doom9's Forum

There is a kind of a workaround for it mentioned. But if this works for us I dont know.
And also, for the record, I also suffer from the multiple Haali/ffdshow icons in the tray. MP crashes after a while.

I am just wondering. There was a period this haali/tray issue wasnt there. Since when did we start to see this?
I dont know, because I updated ATI CCC + SAF on mulitple occasions. I dont remember exact details.
In addition, in the beginning I wasnt even aware that I had the multiple haali icons problem. Didnt see it becasue I shut the HTPC down often. And ofcourse, I run in fullscreen MP all the time, so no signal for me that there was a problem in the traybar. Only after reading about it here, I checked and confirmed I had it aswell.

In windows 7 there is the microsoft dtv-dvd video decoder, this works with dxva and does not have the issues that the mpc-hc decoder gives. Using it myself in my win7 setup.

There is still question if MPC video decoder is trully buggy, becouse if you run same video in GB-PVR, same graph is used (same decoders) and all is working fine when stoping video (no crash, graph is closed correctly)... I already report MPC video decoder crash in MP to MPC-HC team, but no responce...

Where did you post it? Maybe we can all kick the thread a little bit to life. The more people start talking about this issue, the more likely it is that it will be picked up. Or atleast any feedback about it is welcome.

Is there any way to extract that codec and plug it into windows XP???

I reported it here: Media Player Classic Home Cinema - DXVA! - Page 490 - Doom9's Forum

And no, you cannot use Win7/Vista MS vidoeo decoder on XP.
BTW - if you are on ATI, you will notice graphics coruption when trying to play h.264 level 5.1 with 5 or more ref. frames with other then MPC video decoder...

Thanks Hoborg,
I thought it would be total rubbish asking about the win7 codec, But I think the only stupid question is the one not asked.

I posted a reply on doom9. Ill wait and see what comes out of it. Hope atleast some feedback.

edterbak: I was going to say that I first noticed this problem when switching to Windows 7, but since you seem to be using XP I guess that's not the issue. Like you I have been installing all new ATI drivers as well as MP SVN:s and new SAF betas, so it is very hard to tell when the problem appeared.
