MC29 Won't Connect

(1/6) > >>

AlreadyFree:
After downloading the newest MC29 version it fails to connect to the server to download the mp3 encoder or lav filters for video playback. I have it allowed in the firewall rules. It worked fine for previous versions.

JimH:
Security software.  Firewall or antivirus.

AlreadyFree:
I have it added to the allowed list in Windows Firewall. The only antivirus I use is Microsoft Security Essentials and it tells when it blocks something and it didn't report any problems with MC29. It's weird. I can't figure it out. Like I said, it worked fine with previous versions. Is there a way to download needed plugins manually?

JimH:
It's probably Microsoft. 

Security software often does things without telling you.

AlreadyFree:
I don't think so. Anytime Microsoft Security Essentials has caught a problem with an installed program or file it has popped up and asked me if I want to allow it or quarantine it. It hasn't done anything like that for MC29. And like I've already said, previous versions worked fine.

But anyway, Security Essentials doesn't have any way to exclude programs like Microsoft Defender did. So how do I work around this? Or if I can just install the mp3 encoder & LAV Filters manually that's really all I need until this bug gets worked out in MC29, how to I do that? What files do I need and where do they go?

[Edit]
Strangely I can connect to webpages within the app. So it seems that would confirm it's not being blocked by firewall. But it just won't download plugins.
