v1.7.13 is released and farewell

v1.7.13, the latest, and probably the last release of our project…
For quite a few months now, or even years, the number of active developers has been decreasing and has inevitably reached zero. This, unfortunately, means that the project is officially dead and this release would be the last one.
…Unless some people step up that is.
So, if someone’s willing to really contribute and has C/C++ experience, let me know on IRC or via e-mail.
Otherwise, all things come to an end and life goes on. It’s been a nice journey and I’m personally pretty overwhelmed having to write this post.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed in any way all these years; Remember, MPC-HC is an 11-year old project.

Hmmm, strange. Just to be sure I downloaded and installed the latest version of Media Player Classic and cannot use.

The latest version runs fine but every time I use it to open a video file I now get a battery alert saying that I should switch to battery saver power settings. I'm already using a modified battery saver plan. This is due to my battery backup system but I don't see why MPC would trigger the alert when nothing else does.

I guess I'm switching to VLC as my default player as it does not throw any such alert. VLC works fine but does not like it if I throw a movie to one monitor and a game on the other.

Plenty of players out there. May take a look at a few.

Duh! Go back to the previous version of MPC-HC. Pretty much problem solved. Going to previous versions goes to an FTP type system and it is a bit hard to figure out exactly what you are getting. On my first attempt I seem to have gotten a mobile version. The battery alert is gone but I still have issues with playing some games on a different monitor while watching a movie. Audio plays but video freezes. With the version of MPC-HC I just downloaded this has gone from pretty much all games to just a few very old games.

Whatever happens I'll keep the current downloaded version as it does not even seem to need an install. Even without an actual install it is able to be associated to files if done manually. If nothing else I'm sure that I'll be putting this version on my 'travel' flash drive.
