• Dark interface
  Menu > View > Dark Theme
  When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons.
  Options > Advanced
  
• Video preview on the seekbar
  Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar
  
• Adjust playback speed
  Menu > Play > Playback rate
  The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%):
  Options > Playback > Speed step
  Adjusting playback speed works best with the SaneAR audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction.
  Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer
  
• MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later
  Options > Player > History
  
• You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.
  
• You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown.
  
• You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.
  Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting)
  Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only)
  
• A-B repeat
  You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers.
  
• You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video
  Menu > View > Pan&Scan
  This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).
  
• There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well.
  Options > Player > Keys
  Tip: there is a search box above the table.
  
• You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites
  Put yt-dlp.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder.
  Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL
  You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy
  Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder.
  Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced
  This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder.
  Note: instead of yt-dlp.exe you can also use youtube-dl.exe. I do however recommend using yt-dlp because that works better and has active development, while youtube-dl development is currently inactive.
  Note 2: You also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
  
• Play HDR video
  This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer.
  After installation these renderers can be selected here:
  Options > Playback > Output
  
• Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D):
  Options > Subtitles > Misc
  
• Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc.
