Topic: Plex 1.62.2 svp not detecting video playback

Has anyone else had issues with SVP not detecting video playback when they updated plex with the latest update from 2 days ago https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-mac-w … /446435/81
I did do the usual copy the mpv-1.dll and rename it to mpv-2.dll like the wiki says

Re: Plex 1.62.2 svp not detecting video playback

enviroment variables look fine too, just tried it in vlc which uses vapoursynth as well and svp works fine, so guess it's isolated to this plex version

> C:\Program Files\VapourSynth\core\vapoursynth.dll

if you're installing Vapoursynth on your own, be prepared to deal with the systems vars by yourself

Re: Plex 1.62.2 svp not detecting video playback

thanks mate! i didn't notice it was using the wrong version, think that was a relic left over when i was trying to get that python tensor thing working last year... haha
