Title: Failed to download and install the 'LAV Splitter' filter
Post by: bwa on March 27, 2013, 06:00:43 am: I have seen this in other threads, but have not found any solution to it ....

When trying to play a video file on my computer (MC 18.0.156), the adding required component message appear, but it fails with the message:

Failed to download and install the 'LAV Splitter' filter

Can anybody explain that is actually wrong ?. I have a 60 mbit internet connection, and full access. Have also tried to run as administrator.

Can I manually download this filter ?

It does the same with my MC17 instance ...

What then ?

Can you inform where the download is getting from and which port ? So I maybe can do som telnetting to test ?

This file was downloaded in my browser in 3 seconds. Can I unzip it locally ? And registering it manually ?

It doesn't need to be registered.

Post by: glynor on March 28, 2013, 12:58:19 pm: I believe so. You definitely just unzip it. I'm not 100% sure where, but plugins sounds likely. I forgot to look last night...

Very weird the download isn't working...

Post by: JimH on March 28, 2013, 01:03:56 pm: The download apparently did work. It's the unzip that didn't. It's possible the PC is old enough the match functions on the chip aren't there.

Post by: bwa on March 28, 2013, 03:21:55 pm: Well, after unzipping the contents in the plugins folder, it seems to work. Maybe you should have a more consistent error message, to distinct from download and unzip trouble?
