Doesnt seem to want to load a lot of the factory video files

Spent some time with the (realtime chat) support at Imaginando over the past couple of days, who, as always, were very responsive and helpful.

Turns out the reason some of the factory videos wouldnt play is that they're HEVC encoded, so need the HEVC codec... However this version of VS cant use HEVC via the codec packs (K-Lite etc) that the previous one did. Instead I needed the official MS 'Media Foundation' version of that codec.
(It sounds like it might actually be relatively rare not to already have that one, though, as some of the MS Apps would use it?)

The following page has information on it.

https://www.codecguide.com/media_foundation_codecs.htm

Its got a cost on the MS store Im afraid, (one dollar!), link on that page, but there's also an alternate route to get it mentioned there, though a wee bit more bells and hoops to acquire, including needing to install in Windows developer mode.
Ive also been told that if you have a GPU that supports hardware decoding of HVEC, you dont actually get charged for it on the MS store.


My understanding is that Imaginando will be documenting this going forward.

and the video browser itself is a bit unreliable, doing some odd stuff on one system (changing the preset sometimes) and crashed the other...
Preset browser behaving differently as well, not closing when preset is changed

Imaginando looked into the issues I was having with the browsers, and a couple of test builds later, they had a version for me that had resolved the main video and preset browser issues I had noticed. I assume it'll go up on their site soon.
