Hallo,
since the last update I got the issue, that the dialogs for configuring LAV codecs do not open anymore. Instead I keep getting an error messag claiming for a missing "lavvideo.ax" file, which exists in the filters folder (see screenshot attached). LAVVideo is just taken as example. It is the same with LAVAudio and LAVSplitter. "Configure Subtitls" throws an "VSFilter64.dll not found.". I did not test every button, so there might be more.
I'm running the package on Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.2033) x64.
What I tested (all steps as "Administrator") :
1. I checked on windows NTFS permissions but these are fine.
2. Start from a clean 17.5 package
- I used the button "Remove All" within the Help sheet
- I removed the entire package folder at c:\Program Files\ADVANCED_64bitCodecs
3. To be sure that NTFS permissions are out of scope I tried to start a clean 17.5 package from c:\temp\ADVANCED_64bitCodecs
- This gave me the error message "You must maintain the original file and folder structure!"
-- Seems to me that "Remove All" is not working properly.
4. Extracted 17.5 package to a clean c:\Program Files\ADVANCED_64bitCodecs (after repeating steps of 2.)
- GUI is showing up. LAV confguration pages are openening and working.
- Enabled AutoUpdate from Help sheet
-- A error message is rising with "Windows Defender may have blocked the download. [...] Do you want to update Windows Defendet and try again?" -> klick on 'yes'
--- An other error message is shown with "c:\Program Files\ADVANCED_64bitCodecs\Tools\temp\temp.cmd is not found" (screenshot attached)
--- The update is running and downloading the new Application and the codecs, so this seams to work anyhow
- After the new Application is started (currently version 18.7.7) , I get the same error message for missing "lavvideo.ax"
5. Extracted 17.5 package to a clean c:\Program Files\ADVANCED_64bitCodecs (after repeating steps of 2.)
- before I enabled the AutoUpdate, I created the folder ".\Tools\temp" manually
- the update works without any error message and the gui starting Application (currently version 18.7.7)
- I still get the same error message for missing "lavvideo.ax"
Unfortunatelly I do not know since when this issue is happening because I'm not updating the package that often. I would like to know what I have to do, to be able to move the package folder somewhere else. And of cuase, I like to know if there is something else that can be done to make it work from my side.
Thank you in advance.
Update:
Opening the LAV configuration from an other programm that is using the codecs like MPC-HC is working. So I think the issue is related to the ADVANCED Codecs Pack GUI.
