Media Player Classic - Home Cinema
==================================

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open source audio
and video player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project
and contains a lot of additional features and bug fixes.

We are in dire need of new developers of any kind. If you can code a little, or you can create
logos for the player and images for the file associations, or you can create/maintain the main
website, please join our IRC channel and talk to us. Any help is always appreciated.

Find some easy ticket on our trac page, fix the problem, send a
[pull request](https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/pulls),
or post the patch on [trac](http://trac.mpc-hc.org)
or come on IRC and we'll review it for you.

We care about keeping an open project open and free for contributions wherever they may come from.
