media player classic exits fullscreen

Guest2 · 1 Dec 2014 at 18:58

When I am watching anything in fullscreen mode in media player classic (v 6.4.9.1) it will randomly exit to window mode.

I have googled this and it seems others are having the same issue but is caused by AVG. However I do not even use AVG, I use Microsoft security essentials.

It used to work fine with security essentials installed so dont know what is causing it - I have installed drivers etc. for Oculus DK2 and Citrix Receiver but have tried watching videos with both closed but this makes no difference

Does anyone else have this issue?

Try mpc-be i have completely stopped using mpchc now. There are some fullscreen options that may be causing that in the options though.

MPC is super old.

Install dx9webupdate (Updated DirectX 9)
Then install
MPC-BE http://www.free-codecs.com/MPC-BE_download.htm

I recently started trying this new rebuilt version of mpc. It supports directx 10 and was built with .net 4.

it requires lav filters to be installed separately.

It doesnt matter that its super old. It never used to exit full screen. Its much easier having a single exe with no install or the need for otherinstalls to get it working. Its also very quick at opening and skipping forward/backwards during pkayback.

Im also still using a winamp version from october 1999! If this randomly stopped music then i wouldnt switch player, i would look to see what is causing it

some background process will be causing this. look at everything running in your system tray or failing that, task manager.

Get the latest one. I use old Winamp too. Video formats evolve along with graphics drivers etc.

It's probably a 3rd party program causing the issue.

Update it first, then start killing extra programs until the issue stops. Then update our remove that program
