Captvty error message.

Hello,

I just made some major changes to my PC (changed the processor/motherboard, etc...) and took the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 11.

My problem concerns Captvty. I get an error message when I open the application: "The external video player located at C:\program Files (x86)\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe cannot be found. You need to set it up again."

I click OK and I can enter the application just fine.

How can I resolve this error message issue?

Thank you for your responses.

Manu

    Hello
    Reinstall the app or repair it if the option is available in Windows applications (but I doubt it).
    Best regards

    Hello,

    As highlighted by madmyke (whom I greet), you should uninstall MPC-HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema)

    And probably other applications following your hardware changes.

    Revo for a proper uninstallation if you wish

    MPC-HC is not recommended by Captvty:

    But it seems to work nonetheless on a few channels that have been tested.

    And this regardless of video quality:

      Hello, as Pistouri and Madmyke said, uninstall MPC and install VLC which works for Captvty to see if you still have issues https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.fr.html

        Hello arobase 94,

        VLC being a reference as a video player, but the default built-in player works just as well in Captvty.

        Just a little tip, with VLC, using a mouse, it's possible to increase or decrease the volume with the scroll wheel.

        .....

    Hello and best wishes to all,

    Just a quick message to let you know that Captvty is working normally without any error messages. I reinstalled MPC-HC and no more issues.

    Thank you all.
