Guys,

Would it be possible to release a non MSI version. I am a keen tester, but want to maintain my existing working 1.3 version. A non-MSI 2.0RC1 release would be great for testing.

    Since I also have this setup (one stable install, one test build) I basically made a backup of my good setup. Unistalled MP and then reinstalled the new test build in a new directory. Move the original install you backed up to the original directory. MP will then function normally on both installs.

    Yes, obviously, but can't we make life easier for testers? Current installation process is copying existing install, uninstall msi, install new msi, and apply cvs. Got to be easier...

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply.

I kept the "Media...

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    yes that is indeed what I did in that ticket. It may already be working without updating those plugins because most of it was not relevant to the plugin itself (test, some leftover unused parts etc).
