This! Yes please! Consider this as an option for the people who don't have the auto-play enabled. The delay introduced by that (it will not be very noticeable I assume), it will not be longer than the fiddling around I do now for any operation that failed because of the lock. I can adopt myself to wait 1-2 seconds if necessary. Even clicking "Retry" here and there if I am "too fast" will be ok and much easier than to "unlock" by selecting another file, closing or locking the preview pane and undoing all that after the file has been modified.
Uhh, really nope! o) Can't do that, the moment after fiddling with the media file, I have the thumbnail or meta-data json or something to look at. I always assumed the preview pane is there to use it and preview files, not to hide it because it get's in the way? o)
Did that, thank you, but no difference.. o(
Ok, but you are using the LAVFilters obviously. I still don't really understand why these are necessary and what they do differently. If I get all this correctly, to make the LAVFilters work, I would also have to enable "DirectShow" in the DO video / audio plugin and disable "Media Engine" and that other thing?
A codec is something that can "code" and "decode" a video for example (so far so good), but why do I need "filters" for this as well? What are these filters doing?
If that would work out like you describe, it would be similar to the GOM player, which would be awesome of course.
I now noticed, that in the "codecs" link provided in the DO audio/video plugin settings, DO also referres to this LAVFilters project, so this is not something you "errante" came up with on your own? There is some "official" DO support for this (kind of)? If yes, that would motivate me some more to try them, but I still don't feel the need for them, all my video files are playing just fine.
Thanks guys!
