MadVR and LAV plugins won't install

Awesome Donkey:
In addition to Windows Defender and adding exclusions, you should also open the Windows Defender Firewall and add Inbound and Outbound rules for Media Center allowing access to the internet. Chances are if it's not the server changes going on right now, it's being silently blocked by the firewall.

Hi all,

I really appreciate the attention you've been giving me. I added all exclusions for folders, files, and processes from https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,140850.0.html on Defender.
I set DNS to 8.8.8.8 I can confirm I can get to web pages (and this forum)
I have the Windows Defender Firewall set to OFF. Media Center 31.exe is on the list as fully allowed, but does that matter if the firewall is off?

Still no dice. I rebooted, removed the empty plugins folder. Nothing seems to be working yet. Is this just me? Can anyone replicate the problem by running a brand new install of MC on a fresh install of Windows 11?

Thanks!

Can you enable logging in MC (help menu), reproduce the issue and then share the log?

Interesting update. I became so frustrated with this I went and reverted back to Windows 10 using a backup image prior to the Windows 11 update. But, I figured no problem, 3 days ago, I tried to do the exact same thing on my closet server and got the same error. So, I remote desktop into that machine, start logging, switch to video options, select MadVR... and IT JUST WORKED!

The heck?! I'm very glad automagical plugin installation is working again, but I'm at a loss as to why that would be. On the server, I never touched Firewall or Defender settings, didn't set DNS to 8.8.8.8 or anything.

Too bad I blew away the Windows 11 install, but just give me 2 more weeks. Then I'll have more free time to try this whole sequence again. I'll report back here if a fresh install of Windows 11 and MC 31 breaks again.

Again, thank you for your input and feedback! While none of the suggestions solved the problem, lol, it was very heartening to have steps to try and rapid responses to my cries for help. Keep on supporting this amazing software!
