Noob question, installing LAV filters #573

Closed honcho26 closed 4 months ago

Hello! I'm using LAVFilters and found that your most recent version fixed a number of issues I was having with video freezing, amongst other issues.

I have a question about deployment. If I install from your installer on the releases page, I get some options about setting LAV as the source filter for a number of video formats. Alternatively, if I pull down your zip of DLLs and AXs, the AXs won't register on a clean Windows 10 build.

Can you share what the installer does in addition to writing the files to the install directory? Are there registry entries, etc? I'd prefer to just use the zip, and can programmatically create anything else that will allow the AXs to register. The error I get is a "side-by-side" application error from regsvr32.exe, saying it can't find the assembly LavFilters.Dependencies.

Thanks!

The zip package registers fine over here. The dependency manifest is included in the zip, afterall. All the installer does can be seen in the installer script in the repository. Its not related to registering the filter, but to make sure players use it.
