The update affects how Windows handles certain videos.
The update affects how Windows handles certain videos.
Its really weird, WMP plays the audio almost fine, but the video is just pixelated and stops playing after a few seconds. Any other media player i tried plays the videos fine but no sound whatsoever. tried VLC, MPV, MPC-HC... the weird thing is the files were converted with VLC 3.03 but even that doesn't play the audio anymore now, and WMP had no issues at all playing the files before the update (that was why i converted them ,because I wanted to play them in WMP) So it seems obvious something in Windows changed, but i don't know how to fix it? So the main problem is that the audio doesn't play (since video works fine in any player except WMP) and foobar plays the audio just fine! So it doesn't seem there's anything wrong with the files (although who knows)?
I've uploaded a video to mega.nz and it works fine now. No problems detected. If anyone knows how to restore playback on Windows, that would be helpful.
You can discover this by checking the documentation or installation files of each program to see if they include ffmpeg as a dependency.
