1.18 Pre Release cannot open configuration "Adding Filters Section..." (1 Viewer)

[Terra]

Hi There,

I just noticed that in my MePo 1.18 Pre Release installation the configuration does not start anymore.
It hangs on the splash screen with the info "Adding Filters Section..." and just sits there.

Only two logs get written "Configuration-Error.log" and "Configuration.log", first one is empty.
I cannot post watchdog logs as the config does not create one.

I post the log below

thanks

Hello

I cannot post watchdog logs as the config does not create one.

Actually you could. You could use Watchdog option 3 ("export...") to collect all log files after reproducing the problem.

Anyway, the problem is almost certainly a system DirectShow problem related to registered codecs (eg. codecs are registered that don't actually exist on the file system etc.).
Have you installed any new codecs (or media software which might contain codecs) recently?
If yes, that's likely to be the cause.
I suggest to use Filmerit or similar to find and solve DirectShow issues.
