Media Player Classic playback cuts out audio inside confidential box

Media Player Classic x64 can stop playback when remaining idle and not repeat track playback

Media Player Classic x64 can stop playback when remaining idle and not repeat track playback

I haven't encountered this issue. It would be helpful if you could explain how to reproduce it.

Media Player Classic x64 starts with audio not working every once in a while

This issue occurs when a video is opened in MPC-HC while it is not in focus. The same problem exists in a standard box as well. Can you confirm this?

Workaround:

OpenWinClass=*

Media Player Classic x64 does not start with DropAdminRights=y without Cryptorgraphic Service errors (which is probably related to a recently reported issue mentioned in the latest change log for not-yet released Sandboxie)

This issue will be fixed in the upcoming version 1.15.1/5.70.1.

Yes, it does appear that out-of-focus is a factor in top 2 issues I mention.
