Cannot get this plugin to work. #41

I am using VLC v3.0.2 (64bit) for Win10 and I cannot get the plugin to work. I've even tried all the troubleshooting advice on the README.

How far did you get? Do you see the plugin in the Preferences or you didn't get that far?

Also, make sure that the VLC you use is indeed 64-bit VLC and not 32-bit, because the default VLC download is 32-bit, to get the 64-bit one you must go out of your way to click on the drop down options.

If you use 32-bit VLC, the plugin goes into C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\video_filter\, if you use 64-bit VLC the plugin goes into C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\video_filter\. If you have both of those directories then you have both 32-bit and 64-bit VLC installed, figure out which one of those you actually use and put the appropriate plugin .dll into there, or just put them in both.

I tried 3 more times and it finally showed up in the options. I honestly don't know why it wouldn't show up.
