MPC-HC Timeout when closing filter graph.

[Blue-Ike]

So every time I want to close or open up another video file on MPC-HC it opens up another player right before the currently used player closes. Then the screenshot below pops up before the new video is about to play on the newly opened player.
For the "Open options" under Player tab, I have the "Use the same player for each media file" dot ticked.

How can I prevent this from happening all the time? Is there an option somewhere I'm supposed to change?

You can avoid the problem by disabling the option to show video preview on the seekbar.

The cause of the closing delay is unknown. It seems to happen only for a small group of people. I am unable to reproduce it.

It might be related to your graphics driver.

There was another user where it happend only with AMD driver 24.9.1 and 24.10.1, but was working good with 24.8.1.

I notice that if I untick the option you mentioned "show video preview" along with "show time" I haven't seen the timeout window popup. Before I did it with just unticking the "show video preview" and I was still getting the popup.

The way it happens for me is if you're in the middle of a video and pause and then click on another video to open and play, another new mpc-hc player opens and the previous stays hanging until the timeout popup window shows asking you if you want to close the player or leave it open and wait 15 seconds for it to start playing the new video. Sometimes I had both media players loading and playing the same video together.

So there's no fix for this issue yet?

Yes, the fix is to install a different graphics driver as mentioned above. The cause of the problem is outside of the player. So I am not able to fix it.

Ah okay. I can't install a different graphics card on this pc so I'm out of luck but at least I know the two options to uncheck if I want to get rid of the yes/no popup window.
