If I open a video folder in Media Player Classic, when a video finishes it will automatically start playing the next video in the folder. If I open a single file, it loops back to the beginning when the video ends. Can I make it start the next video instead? Currently I have to hit the "next" button to start the next video when opening a single file.

I'm currently using Windows Media Player for watching DVDs. Unfortunately if I close the player, I lose my position. My main requirement is that I want a player that will remember my position, even if I restart the computer or accidentally eject the DVD.

I recommend media player classic which is available with klite codec package almost every day (I've not used it with dvd though) and it's one of the best media player applications I've ever used. This nice application can remember almost everything include

Before I switched on Linux, I used VLC and BSplayer. Both are good media players but since you seem to have issues with VLC you may try BSplayer.Bsplayer has a free and paid version. Paid version is quite expensive (29.90 EUR for a new licence at the moment and 19.90 EUR if renewing a licence). In BSplayer, for seeing DVD menus, you will need a paid version, free version recognises only .vob files and does not read DVD menus.

Do I'm doing something wrong or I don't know something? Why Emby is not playing automatically next file if I'm watching TV series?

When one episode finishes, I have to go back, and then click play on another episode and repeat X times...

There is an option "Play all" but always starts from episode 1.

Please advise

I just went through the link you post here. I see that Embry's recognition of the series is correct but the file name must be very accurate - sorry, I didn't know that! I fought if Emby recognises TV series - the job is done.

But now when I'm typing this...I'm wondering why need to be super specific? Why can't play just the next file? You can see from the picture that the episodes are in order - even The File names are different in each folder containing TV series or Tv shows. In most cases, Emby is sorting them correctly.

Sorry for being a pain in the ass it's just because I love Emby, I know what you trying to do with this project. And I'll support you with all my heart but some time is missing a small but major thing that ruins all the fun. You naturally want to do something but it's not there. Were all other programs/apps using the same idea we are use to it.

I just selected one folder and he pick up all data for 200 movies, and 300 episodes of different TV series I have. Indexed 27k mp3, downloaded a lot of art, and provided a lot of information about DJs. Some of the are very rare.

And Now we come to "autoplay" ... Feature that practically already working now but is not, and never will because I'll not spend hours googling and retyping all that names.

My wife would kill me if I would do just that for a couple of days.

All of a sudden this am, a few of my users are reporting that media player classic is crashing to desktop. Sure enough when i try it on their machines its true. temporarily disabling sophos endpoint, and media player classic is working fine.

Once i figure out wtf component is doing the blocking, im sure i can whitelist it somewhere. But this is damned annoying sophos... At least i just skip straight to disabling the virus scanner when these things happen because i KNOW if *** just randomly starts breaking whose fault it generally is...

basically go to settings -> global exclusions -> then add an exclusion of type "exploit mitigation" and find the two media player classic items (32 and 64 bit) and create rules. Was pretty quickly solved after that.

yeah sorry i am understaffed and just fighting fires these days. I dont have time to do this. plus i have to break it again and i am not doing that. We use media player classic to listen to voicemails, as well as being the default audio player for the computer. So it affects many people when its not working.

Hey I don't know if you've found an answer to your problem from someone else yet, but I have had the same problem before, and I've finally found a fix that I'd like to share. I downloaded a video converter called Handbrake. (Mod 2021 update note: You can also use Shutter Encoder, which has more features and codecs than Handbrake).

I have the exact same problem. I have some .mp4 files I recorded on my phone. Works fine everywhere, as soon as I import it into PP, the audio is out of sync. I believe it is due to the fact that the video has a variable number of frames per second. I don't really know how to fix it so any help is greatly appreciated.

MOV processes missing frames automatically when in h.264 mode. I've seen this happening with MP4's from iPhones. WHen I run them through QT, they play fine, then I can transcode them almost instantly because they're already in that format, just wrapped in the MP4 extension.

For your camera, Perhaps the MP4 file metadata places the reframe marks in the correct spot for MOV, but not for crossplatform MP4. Both are apple-originated formats, but MOV is a QT proprietary, and some cameras confuse the metadata order when writing the file headers. If they are out of order, or the values are written in a different number format, you will get problems with the file when sequencing it. Be careful with this advice you gave. It worked for you because the format was written as an MOV variant, but wrapped in an MP4 extension. It won't work every time, for every instance of this issue with different cameras.

The BEST advice is to process in the manner in which YOUR SOFTWARE SUITE EXPECTS. Premiere expects video without data issues, whether elements or PRO. Start with a TRANSCODE. If you want to keep the same format, go ahead. IT should be extremely fast if there are no issues. In some cases, some motion is actually processed better do to a recode from the I and B frames that are used to calculate what to drop from the compression. Set Frame Blending to on, to reframe where necessary. You should also set the data rate higher than the original by at least 0.2mbps so it will apply the quality adjustment necessary to calculate missing frames and proper blends.

Apple Compressor uses motion adaptation for this and they've kept it proprietary. It often does a cleaner job, but takes longer. I only use it for deinterlacing and blowups I don't want to do in photoshop. If you're shooting SPORTS or HIGH MOTION, go with compressor for clarity. Everything else looks pretty damned good with PRELUDE and ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER. Short clips or SD's I want in HD, I usually use PHOTOSHOP for because I can use plugins that retain detail using VECTOR MAPS (My whole lab's still CS6). Using vectorized mapping of detail, you can blow something up to 300% without a great drop. However, going from SD wide to HD is just 167%. Some plugs are even action scriptable, so you can apply the same settings to every photo of a folder. In After Effects CC, the Detail retaining upscale actually does something very similar, applying some unsharp masking, and microcontrast adjusts to make the whole process more natural looking at the end. It's pretty good for a one step uprez at 133% (Or 1080 to 4k, 720 to 1080).

I know it has been quite a while since you posted this but I feel compelled to tell you that this was the most helpful, comprehensive, and efficiently-structured post I have ever seen. Frankly, one might even describe your contribution to this thread as elegant. I only had to make a couple of minor changes to my settings (a data rate that is 0.4mbps higher than the original for example) and these small adjustments made my end product significantly better, even though I really do not notice a significant increase in processing time or overall CPU/GPU strain. The reason I am writing this is not because you motivated me to make little tweaks to settings, it is because your explanation actually triggered a deeper insight that has helped me to view the whole process and structure of the technology with a stronger understanding of WHY you are giving the advice you are giving instead of just following this or that suggestion blindly while crossing my fingers in the hope that I am not wasting yet another hour on what I thought was a promising solution - only to find that it was a solution to a problem that I did not have.

So thanks. I am still quite the amateur in this field though, even though I have substantial experience in the production and design of content for live visual and performing arts. You just set me on a path towards deeper understanding that I am now much more prepared to travel. Thank you for sharing your insight and doing so without ego, attitude, or any sense of trying to belittle anyone whose ideas you may not have totally agreed with.

However it is hit and miss. The H.264 MP4 files generated from our Tricaster 855 will sometimes playback in Premiere with no problems. But occassionally one file will have this sync issue, with audio about 8 frames ahead of video. The file will, however, playback just fine in Quicktime, Windows Media Player, VLC, etc. It's only when the file is imported to Premiere that it plays back out of sync.

I have some video that I recorded, and in every other program besides Premiere Pro (I've tried both CS 5.5 and CS 6) it plays with the audio and video in sync. It isn't as simple as Unlinking the audio and dragging it to match it up, no, it's as if the audio slows down over the progression of the video. So even if I were to drag the audio and sync it up to someone talking (which is such a pain...) immediately afterwards, the audio will gradually become out of sync again. And if you try to line it up again, then the whole project gets screwed up. Extremely agitating. I've attempted to slow the audio duration down as others have posted before, but that doesn't work right. I had to slow it down to (98.5% before SOME of it was synced and it had incorrect pitch) Just awful. I have over 120 videos that need editing and I'm not going to be using Premiere Pro with this horrible audio sync.
