Media Player Classic was officially killed

Media Player Classic is a popular open source movie and music player software, widely used by many people. But it is about to say goodbye to us after 11 years of existence.

Media Player Classic (or MPC) is a media player for Windows computers. If any software comes after VLC Media Player and is received, it is Media Player Classic. But MPC-HC is preparing to say goodbye to the technology world.

Recently, development of Media Player Classic has released version v1.7.13 and is also the final version of this software. It will not receive any further updates in the future.

The main reason behind this departure is no longer donating to develop Media Player Classic Home Cinemra (MPC-HC) and the number of builders it has returned to zero.

In a blog post, the MPC XhmikosR project leader said that 'For months, even years, the number of active developers has decreased significantly and there has been no one left.' 'Unfortunately, this means the project has been officially' dead ', and the release of this version will be the last.'
