VLC 3.0.20 doesn't work about vlc-pause-click-plugin

[nurupo]

Updating VLC might remove the plugin dll file, so check if it's still present.

Can you provide some more information?

1. Right-click on the VLC shortcut you use to launch VLC, go into Properties and tell me the file path shown in the "Target:" field.

   

2. While in Properties, click on "Open File Location", then in the opened window go into the "plugins\video_filter" subfolder and again confirm that the plugin dll, libpause_click_plugin.dll, is in there.

Below all screenshot to show you the option disappear and it was working on 3.0.18. Worst i try to do a rollback to 3.0.18 and it doesn't work too :/ very strange

Ok, that was useful. I suspect you might be using the wrong dll. Could you try using this one?. You will need to restart VLC after you replace the dll.

I did it and same, no option available

In your screenshots you have two VLCs installed. One in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC, another in C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC. Which one are you using? Which one has the plugin installed? Also, your VLC in C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC is very weird - it has .pdb files in the video_filters folder. Those are debug symbol files and you shouldn't have those if you install VLC normally. It also shouldn't have languages, helpers, msi, NSIS, etc. folders.

I suggest that you:

1. Uninstall all of your VLCs
2. Delete C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC and C:\Programmes\VideoLAN\VLC folders manually, in case there are any leftover files the uninstaller didn't delete
3. Install VLC using this https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.20/win64/vlc-3.0.20-win64.exe installer (wait for about 5-10 seconds for the download to start)
4. Add the plugin dll to the video_filters folder

After a full reinstallation it's working again...
Thank you
