On what OS? At least Windows XP is not supposed to work.

added Component::Audio: Windows plugins label

changed milestone to %2.2.x maintenance branch

whops I guess I forgot to mention that OS data... loi

I use/have: OS : Windows XP Professional SP3 32bit (up to date as of mid last year) CPU : Intel Pentium D 945 3.4GHz (Dual Core) CPU : Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 512MB Mobo: ASUS P5NSLI (v2)(bios: r1801)

My friends Laptop(the one I occasional am on is, and have VLC Win64 installed on): OS : Windows 7 Home CPU: AMD Phenom quad-core CPU: ATI Radeon Mobility 4550, if I remember correctly. those that is not relevant to this bug report... but I have another report when I get around to it on a C++ Runtime error crashing the latest build on Win64 on his laptop... ie I will create a new bug report when I get a chance.... ;)

here is another error that appears to be similar

Again, mmdevice is not available in Windows XP. This is not supposed to work.

added Status::invalid label

closed

ohh..... fair enough... can you please suppress that WARNING in a future build for Windows XP...

btw what is "libmmdevice_plugin.dll" and what is it for then?...
