Some files play correctly on one player but not the other so I use both MPC offerings as well as PDVD, FAB, and VideoPlayer.  Yes there is development.  You can read changelog at link.

Fury (2014), a 4k HDR Atmos file is a title that will play properly using MPC-HC and FAB player 3 but not MPC-BE.  Ripped using DVDFab with complete menus to iso, MPC-BE starts an 'extras' title and does not navigate to the main movie playlist nor will any amount of navigating within the player reveal the correct video title, audio titles, or subtitles unlike other players.  Usually, main movie playlist is the default that opens but not in this case.  Imo, this is a fault of the player especially since other players do not fail to render using the same internal or external mounter.  However, if the iso is mounted in Windows Explorer and navigated to the main movie playlist, it can be assigned to MPC-BE (or any other player) and performs as expected.  But this isn't the cure for what we strive to achieve here.  Fortunately, very few titles exhibit this flaw leaving MPC-BE a very competitive player for us enthusiasts.  Likewise, where other players failed to render properly, MPC-BE had no problem.  Can't remember exact example but I believe it was a 3D iso that ran into obfuscation problems with other players but not MPC-BE.  Bottom line for me is to have various players on hand if/when I run into something screwy knowing one of the players will fill the void of another.  This was already briefly mentioned here fwiw https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid2757300
