I do not know what is wrong with its black edition!
The last stable version was released Dec 2025.
No newer versions on their official website on Github.
Only periodic download links to nightly versions on Softpedia without links to visit a website.

 

[Zero Knowledge]

No for BLACK. Shame I use it daily but would also like updates. Maybe it's abandaonware?

But there are reguarly nightly updates for the same stable version released Dec 2025; they keep showing on Softpedia.
Before that time, it was receiving regular stable updates, just as the home cinema version.

Yeah I wouldn't trust softpedia to be reliable information. When a stable is published GitHub then OK.

The developer might be busy or planning a major update, as the project's primary goal was to create a dark version of MPC, and MPC now includes a built-in dark mode. I checked the GitHub repository and found no indication that the project is abandoned, so let's wait and see what happens.

Definitely it is in need for UI improvements; the home cinema UI is better after the latest refinement.

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.

MPC served me well during the Klite days.
Sadly I now moved to VLC as it got native x64 and ARM64.

2.8.0

Updates:

• Updated LAV Filters to version 0.82-5-g77c25
• Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.7.2560

Changes/additions:

• Settings of SaneAR/VMR-9/EVR-CP/EVR-Sync have been moved and can now be accessed through the button behind the renderer on the Output settings page.
• Cleaned up the Output settings page and updated the tooltips of the video renderers.
• It is now possible to provide default settings through HKLM, which are read whenever creating fresh settings profile in HKCU section of Registry.
• When storing settings in INI file, the history is now split off in a separate file. 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. Defaults to 365, and can be disabled by setting to 0.
• Added a new Show History entry to recent file menu. This opens a dialog for managing history entries. Allows you to search. Manually remove entries. Clean invalid entries. Clean old entries. Reset position, etc.
• When opening a selection of files from Explorer, they are now added to playlist in correct alphabetical order.
• Added "sort by date" option in playlist context menu. Note that all sort actions apply once to current list and do not have effect on future playlist changes.
• Added advanced option to sort files by date when skipping to next/previous file in folder.
• Color controls have been moved from options dialog into a new popup dialog. Accessible through the Play menu or hotkey.
• Advanced settings have now been re-ordered and grouped into categories.
• Improved performance when using libass for rendering subtitles.
• Added stack trace to internal (fallback) exception handler.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where subtitle styles changes were not dynamically applied during segment change in segmented Matroska files with ordered chapters.
• Fixed an issue where seekbar preview could show wrong edition with playing a Matroska file with multiple video editions.
• Fixed an issue where video preview was up-side-down in web interface when renderer provided a topdown bitmap.
• Fixed an issue with EVR-CP that caused still images to not render immediately.
• Improved long path support in a few file dialogs, such as "Load subtitles".
• A few other fixes and small improvements.
