Describe the issue

Since i update my VLC to the last version 3.0.20, i don't have any option available on settings and filter. It was working perfectly on 3.0.18. Also i try to reset my setting (remove my folder \AppData\Roaming\vlc) and it doesn't work.

Updating VLC might remove the plugin dll file, so check if it's still present.

Can you provide some more information?

  1. Right-click on the VLC shortcut you use to launch VLC, go into Properties and tell me the file path shown in the "Target:" field.

  2. While in Properties, click on "Open File Location", then in the opened window go into the "plugins\video_filter" subfolder and again confirm that the plugin dll, libpause_click_plugin.dll, is in there.

Ok, that was useful. I suspect you might be using the wrong dll. Could you try using this one?. You will need to restart VLC after you replace the dll.

I did it and same, no option available

In your screenshots you have two VLCs installed. One in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC, another in C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC. Which one are you using? Which one has the plugin installed? Also, your VLC in C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC is very weird - it has .pdb files in the video_filters folder. Those are debug symbol files and you shouldn't have those if you install VLC normally. It also shouldn't have languages, helpers, msi, NSIS, etc. folders.

I suggest that you:

  1. Uninstall all of your VLCs
  2. Delete C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC and C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC folders manually, in case there are any leftover files the uninstaller didn't delete
  3. Install VLC using this https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.20/win64/vlc-3.0.20-win64.exe installer (wait for about 5-10 seconds for the download to start)
  4. Add the plugin dll to the video_filters folder

After a full reinstallation it's working again... Thank you
