Anyone use MSI Afterburner and rivatuner and is on the insider builds? Every time a build updates I have to reinstall the afterburner/rivatuner package because rivatuner starts giving me an error on startup. I know this is just the kind of thing to expect with beta builds, and I've just dealt with it for the most part (the reason I now even care enough to ask is because there have been so many new builds lately. Didn't one come out like only two days after the last?) Does there happen to be a solution to this? A setting I'm missing that keeps it from dying between builds? I should have wrote down the exact error, but I'll get it next time there's a new build if it does it again. Also, did someone mention something about cheap ebay Office key? Edit: nvm it was just as stupid simple as getting a Windows key. BrainDance fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Sep 7, 2017 |

I just wish there was a good way to integrate 3rd party software like that into the task bar :/ Just some way to replace that awful Windows search. I like being able to quickly just start typing from my task bar though and not have to load another program.

I upgraded my windows 10 (well, windows upgraded for me) to the creator's update, and immediately my 2nd monitor starts causing me issues (when its plugged in I get various BSOD, either MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION or CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT). Seemingly no issues if I just keep the 2nd monitor unplugged. Haven't tried playing games yet. Thoughts? I guess there's no easy way to roll back to pre-creator's update?

windows 7 search worked just fine... why did they go and remove .exe's from my downloads directory or a ~/bin directory in my path... it's so stupid. Like, fine make it an option for non-fucktwits but jesus don't hard code this function out of the OS you god drat train wreck

Have you already attempted to update (or downgrade, if updating them doesn't work) your display driver? Bonus points for the "clean install" option if the driver installer allows it.

Is there supposed to be better movie player than VLC now for Windows 10 or something? I don't understand how it can have such lovely performance after a clean install. 1080p h.264 on my Intel Atom PC: Windows 10 built-in "Movies" app: plays fine VLC: Stutters during high bitrate scenes like fire/snow and artifacts 4K HEVC on my i7-7700k PC: Windows 10 built-in "Movies" app: plays fine VLC: Can't keep up at all, shows about a half second of clean video for every 5 seconds of scrambled artifact screen So what the gently caress, the geniuses at VLC can't see that there's a hardware decoder in Kaby Lake and use it by default, or something? I don't get how the Windows 10 default app is so much better. I would use it but it has like no options and doesn't find the subtitles track sometimes.

Someone will aggressively correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think VLC has ever been about performance. Try one of the MPC forks? MPC-BE or MPC-HC.

Yeah it probably doesn't have hardware acceleration turned on. VLC usually has really good quality decoding for what its worth. Use MPC-BE.

Their last release is newer than the last MPC-BE release, but MPC-BE has newer betas, so be sure to switch to MPC-BE eventually.

No, MPC-HC isn't dead, they picked up a bunch of developers again after their announcement in July. There hasn't been a new release yet, but there also hasn't been a need for a new release yet. Their development schedule usually only required 2 or 3 releases a year.

I feel like this is two issues; the Atom chip not being up to the task, and the new PC having something set wrong wrt hardware decoding.

In VLC make sure hardware decoding is turned on in the video options. You made need to view the advanced options. It definitely supports it.

another forum I go to had a super angry argument about VLC vs. MPC-HC where like three people got banned over the course of one page. how do goons feel? I've always just installed VLC through Ninite when setting up a new PC and I've honestly never really thought about differences between players. Is there a significant difference between each player?

Nothing that's worth having a flamewar over. It's not like anything prevents you from having both installed on the same machine. VLC's weakness was always subtitles, so the anime fans didn't like it. I dunno if they've got that 100% perfect yet, last time I checked there were still specific bits that VLC didn't support but that was years ago. I like MPC better myself, but VLC has better performance on my very old laptop.

It's kind of a craps shoot as how VLC will perform on different GFX cards, no idea why. Why choose, just load both programs.

VLC is better if you need to run really weird file formats noone's used in 15 years. MPC-HC is better for hardware video acceleration use and subtitle/multiple audio track handling as mentioned. So which of those is likely to improve things for your own uses?

MPC-HC is better for hardware video acceleration use and subtitle/multiple audio track handling as mentioned. So which of those is likely to improve things for your own uses? Exactly. MPC and its derivatives are just a nice powerful frontend to the standard Windows video playback infrastructure. It'll play pretty much anything normal and be happy doing it. VLC is a swiss army knife. It'll at least try to play pretty much anything you throw at it, even if it might not actually be a playable thing, but it reinvents the wheel a lot because it doesn't want to depend on anything external. Using hardware decoding bypasses a lot of VLC's ability to perform miracles with broken files. If you get the videos you're playing through relatively normal channels you'll probably never need VLC.

My biggest gripe with VLC has always been that the Windows UI looks like it fell out of a 2006 Linux distro. The settings interface is particularly dire.

I swapped out my motherboard and CPU today, from an old i5 to a new AMD. Windows activation didn't seem to care? That was after I fixed the BSOD loop caused by the Asus AI Suite, which refused to uninstall and according to the internet was a grave mistake to have ever installed in the first place. Edit: Spoke too soon, activation is having a grumble right now. Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Sep 13, 2017 |

Umm. i5 to AMD? I'm done with ASUS man, as far as components go. Their software is awful. Am I the only techy/goon/power user who doesn't use VLC? I relied on the klite codec pack forever with MPC, I dont even bother with it anymore now with Kodi. So MS tweeted yesterday that you can drag the edges of your start menu to adjust the size. I did not know that.
