[no Bug] avutil-51.dll missing (1 Viewer)

[Pat Clark]

When trying to configure LAV codec, message is issued about avutil-51 missing. avutil-50 is present.

Probably you antivirus quarantized it. That was a known issue with Chrome half a year ago. False positive in some scanners. Check logs of your virus scanner. No MP bug.

I should have been more clear. This was directly after a 1.3.0a fresh install upgrading from 1.2.3. No browser was involved except for downloading the 1.3.0a package, and I run no anti-virus software.

I see you marked it "no bug," but . . .

 

[Scythe42]

It's no bug in MP or everyone would have this. I cannot reproduce it. But still willing to help of course. If it turns out it is a bug I stay corrected. So please don't feel offended.

When upgrading from 1.2.3 did you have LAV installed before manually? Maybe there is a conflict of version in regards to LAV. Is the DLL anywhere on your system?

 

[Pat Clark]

Yes, I did have LAV installed at one time. I uninstalled several plugins and skins before the 1.3.0a install, but I can't remember if I uninstalled LAV. The install did install LAV as well.

 

[Scythe42]

Yes, LAV comes with 1.3.0. We probably should add a check if LAV is already installed and recommend removal before proceeding. Discuss this with the team.

Would it be sufficient to obtain a copy of avutil-51? Or how about uninstall and reinstall of LAV at this time?

 

[Pat Clark]

FYI. I had further trouble. Known good mkv file would not play with any codecs, including LAV. So I uninstalled LAV and reinstalled. Now the config buttons work and the mkv file plays with LAV codecs. Perhaps some oddity with my 1.2.3 installation -- it has had a workout by an amateur in the time I've had it installed -- but it was working well at the time.
