About once per month I'll be running a new app, very often it's a game. When the game tries to play something like an AVI file (which it presumably has both a player and the codec for) I get a pop-up saying that the app is trying to load ffdshow.
Odds are that the app never wanted to load it, but somehow my associations are doing so. I tell it not to always not allow this.
Thing is, this happens fairly infrequently, and very often at inconvenient times. More often than not the program shuts down because it thinks a script or something has locked up (since the video playback is delayed while waiting for me to tell it not to use ffdshow.
Is there any way to make it so this NEVER happens? I thought this was a codec, why is it trying to load an application? Is that something I screwed up when I installed it?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This happens if an application tries to load ffdshow. The message is shown when the application is neither on the ffdshow application whitelist, nor on the blacklist.
You can disable the pop-up in the ffdshow settings.
ffdshow video decoder configuration > DirectShow control
(same for audio decoder)
