How to specify location of gstreamer with PM6 all-in-one ??

[Frederic]

Hi,
The question is in the subject ...
The possibility to specify the directory of gstreamer has disappeared from the form Preferences/Files .... (PM6 build 7955)
I have uninstalled PM6-7955 and reinstall it. Didn't ask for the gstreamer directory
Note: PM6 'old' (build 7269) still works perfectly with gstreamer on my PC.
Thanks for any advice
Frederic

GStreamer is no longer necessary in the new version of Photo Mechanic. Are you having issues with getting thumbnails/previews for video files?

[Frederic]

Thanks for your answer
Yes, I have problems: on what seems random files (.mov, .MP4 ..) I have the red message on black background 'File Error Contact Sheet Rescan Needed'. Still there after rescan.
These files are OK when I use the 'old' PM6
I am using Windows 11, everything updated

I forgot to mention that the problem occurs only on a few files (around 5-10%)

Will the files play with Windows Media Player?  If not, does WMP tell you about a missing codec?  If so, installing that codec will likely fix the issue with Photo Mechanic as well.

Hi Kirk,
I am in contact with Bob Russell for this problem.
To make it short, all video files are OK with Windows Media Player, but none of them is displayed as thumbnail with PM6+-AOI
I will post something here when it will be OK for me.
Many thanks

Hi,
My problems were coming from accented characters in directory names.
Shame on me because I know that this is often causing problems.
Support told me this will be solved in PM6
Thanks to all, and sorry for the inconvenience

Support told me this will be solved in PM6

Just to clarify, there is no issue in Photo Mechanic 6. The problem is in the all-in-one version, and we will be looking into that.
