Toggling this on/off can be assigned to a hotkey or one of the custom toolbar buttons. - New "remote" page in web interface, providing a modern interface for remote control of MPC-HC from any phone (or web browser) in your local network. - Expanded the API for remote control through window messages from a master process. See MpcApi.h header file. Fixes: - A few bug fixes in web interface. - A few other fixes and small improvements. Note: Windows Defender may give a false positive detection on the installer.

When the application folder is not writable, the history file is placed in %appdata%\MPC-HC. Also added an advanced option to always use appdata folder. - Please note that the Registry is still the preferred location for storing the settings. That has better performance than INI file. Settings backup is as easy as pressing a button here: Options > Miscellaneous > Export - Added an advanced option HistoryExcludeFilter to exclude certain content from getting added to recent file history. It is a simple semi-colon separated list of substrings that is matched against the full path or URL. - There also is a HistoryExcludeFilterPrivate setting with exact same purpose, which is not exposed through the user interface. - Added advanced option to automatically prune history entries older than X days.

Changes from 2.7.3 to 2.7.4: Updates: - Updated LAV Filters to version 0.82-4-gab7ca - Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.6.2555 Changes/additions: - MPC Video Renderer is now the by default renderer on the majority of systems. Previously EVR-CP was the default. MPCVR is a more advanced modern renderer with support for HDR video. - MPC-HC will detect your GPU(s) (once) after updating to this new version and will adjust the video renderer and hardware decoding settings when it makes sense. - Added an option to show the playback timer next to the seekbar instead of inside the statusbar. By default it is placed at the right side. There is an advanced option to place it at the left side. Tip: seekbar height can be adjusted in the options. Timer text size is scaled accordingly. - Added a new customizable viewing preset (hotkey 4). By default this hides the menu and statusbar compared to the normal viewing preset (hotkey 3). - Added an advanced option to specify the default viewing preset when starting the player. By default it remembers to last used viewing mode. - Added a submenu to playlist context menu for adjusting the playlist location. Fixes: - A few crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.
