NEW FEATURE: Red October (Automatic DirectShow Configuration)
SamuriHL:
Your existing settings will stick. That's the beauty of this...if you turn it on, it determines the best filters/configuration for you and you sit back and relax. If you want something different, turn it off and tweak to your heart's content. It's the best of all worlds IMO. And yes, shout out to jmone for sure on picking the right filters for this feature! :)

That's no small feat. Congrats to everybody involved. I'd like to read some more.

That is nice. Would it be possible to post on the wiki what is chooses as filters and settings? (or in the program somehow), so one can use that as a starting block for further tweaking?

That's a bit more complicated. :) In my experience it tries to use ffdshow for most decoding. It autoconfigures it on the fly to what Red October believes is the best settings. Jmone really helped drive that one. :) If you have things that don't play with Red October enabled, you should report it so they can improve upon it. But yea, I think you're right in that the settings it tries to use should probably be listed somewhere.

I just spent some time quickly testing some files, and most played fine. I notice that pretty much everything was using ffdshow Audio, which seemed to work fine for the 10 or 15 files I quickly tested, which is great.
I am curious why ffdshow audio was/is chosen over LAV audio, mainly just because it seems LAV audio is sort of built to work directly with LAV splitter, which *is* being chosen. No big deal, just curiosity, as long as it works, no complaints :)
However, WTV files put MC in a perpetual state of "*starting", which had to be killed with Task Manager. When I restarted, and tried again, it just killed MC immediately.
I restarted and looked at the video options for WTV and noticed that even if I turn off Red October, I can select LAV splitter (either version) and it doesn't "take". When I go to options again, it's back to Automatic for the splitter. this makes me think LAV splitter can't deal wtih wtv files, but I didn't remember this limitation. so, I started playback on an mkv file, to get it playing back, then right-clicked and clicked on LAV Splitter to open that dialog box, but it's totally blank. both tabs are completely blank. then when I closed the dialog, it crashed MC.
I restarted and tried this again, and it crashed again. Feels like a bug.
I noticed in the release notes that MC is using the newest version of LAV filters 0.27, but I only have 0.26 installed on that machine so far (just haven't updated it yet).
So, I wonder if there is some conflict going on with MC using 0.27 (somehow), but with 0.26 actually being installed
I'm going to leave it like this for a little while, in case you want me to test anything (remind me where to turn on logging if you want logs).
if I don't hear back about testing requests, I'll update to LAV filters 0.27 and test again.
