I don't understand why the feature request was closed. It was not posted there as a discussion at all from what I could see. Oh well, just part of why I don't take a more active part here.

JIRA's purpose is to be a bug tracker, rather than idea proposal. I believe only set in stone tasks can go there.PurpleGurl wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 7:19 amI don't understand why the feature request was closed.

It bounced back - I am waiting for a response to my request to be subscribed.

...but MPC needs directshow codecs (that are NOT efficient for the system performances).
There are *ways* better choices, IMHO:

I think for ReactOS its enough to have two built-in players: mplay32.exe which uses MCI API, and amovie.ocx thingy which uses DirectShow API and runs within rundll32 context.
Other more advanced third-party players can be installed from external sources.

Thankyou Hbelusca, I eventually managed to sign in and submitted the request. A bit delayed by Christmas preparations.hbelusca wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 2:10 pm @dizt3mp3r: you subscribed by going there first? : https://reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev

Hey, I responded to your email but by mistake I didn't send it to the list but just to you. I'm writing it here so others can also see what I was saying.
The thing is, Media Player Classic is good, nice and lightweight but uses MFC which is enought to make it impossible to include in ReactOS. It is perfectly fine to have it in Rapps but without also having an open source implementation of MFC we can't compile it ourselves.

+1 for binarymaster's position

Received an answer from Giannis Adamopoulos:
I found something that believes it is an open source alternative to MFC but I'll bet my boots it is not fully compatible.

MFC is a library that ReactOS just does not yet have so this request will have to remain on the back-burner for the moment.Giannis Adamopoulos
Hi,
after having a look at the code of Media Player Classic I saw that it uses MFC. I hope that you can understand that we cannot include any project in ReactOS that uses MFC as we don't have an implementation of it right now nor there exists an open source implementation of it. At some point we may implement the active X controls and things like that but for now they are not a priority.

Win32++ is a C++ library used to build windows applications. It is a simple, open source alternative to MFC. Win32++ supports the C++ compilers from GNU and Microsoft. It is an ideal starting point for anyone learning to program for windows, but also caters for the needs of professional developers.

Code from other projects is never "free". When such code is added to ReactOS, it adds its own maintenance burden to the ReactOS project. Even keeping RAPPS free of bad download links is now a large maintenance burden.
