Download & File Hosting Disclaimer

mediaplayerclassic.org does not host, store, or distribute any software files on its own servers. We do not provide direct downloads from our infrastructure. Instead, all download links on this website point directly to the official GitHub Releases page for MPC-HC at:

This means that when you click a download button on our website, you are being redirected to GitHub — a trusted, third-party platform — where the MPC-HC developer publishes official release builds. We have no control over the files hosted on GitHub or any other third-party platform.

  • We do not modify, repackage, or alter MPC-HC installer files or portable archives in any way.
  • We do not bundle additional software, adware, toolbars, or any other unwanted programs with any download link.
  • We make reasonable efforts to ensure that all download links are accurate and point to legitimate, official sources. However, we cannot guarantee the availability, safety, or integrity of files hosted on third-party platforms.
  • You are solely responsible for verifying the authenticity and safety of any file before downloading and installing it. We recommend scanning all downloaded files with up-to-date antivirus software.
