-></( Latest version is v2.3.3 )><-
Have you ever felt that there is something missing in your life?? Then try this, I can guarantee 100% satisfaction!! (or else you get your money back!! )



Some of the features:
Disable (or enable ) DirectShow filters/codecs!
Set buffers for ffdshow! (support for multiple presets!)
Supports both x64 and x86 DShow/ffdshow!

Try this and you will never go back to manually edit your registry again!!

What do you think??

It features are so many and awesome you are more probably to fall in love with this than that superhot "girl next door"!!

-></( Original message )><-
Some of you may remember that I was hunting for a place where windows keeps it's list of installed DirectShow codecs some time ago (yes I am pointing at you Nahuel!!) and after some search i found the "golden key"= HKCRCLSID{083863F1-70DE-11d0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}Instance

After that I did this small scripts for changing settings and stuff and I thought now would be a good time to share with you all!!
This version only lets you enable/disable DirectShow codecs but i plan on adding more later (hence the tabs)

Good work mate. Very innovative, it's always nice to see fresh ideas on this forum.

(AutoIt v3.2.12.0)

I have added new version (v1.3) with new features and compatibility with AutoIt v3.2.12.0
Please redownload script and it should work perfectly.


On another note: I am having trouble finding more interesting stuff to put in here, any ideas about more things I could do would be highly appreciated!!

I am a total newbie to AutoIt and would love to learn how to use it - even at a basic level. The trouble is I'm finding it very difficult to make much progress. I know there are help files but many of these are way over my head.

What I would really love - and maybe there are many others like me? - is a series of VERY simple scripts which show off some of the capabilities of AutoIt, introducing a new concept/feature each time.

I have read amny of your posts, my friend, and I don't understand them - which means you are a very capable scripter :-) I reckon you could do this in your sleep :-) Is this something you would like to take on?

I am also a newbie, and I have learnt a lot from browsing the General Support and Example Scripts forums. I take sections off some of the scripts and try and adapt them to my needs and what I would like to understand.

I has helped me much.

I am flattered that you think of me so highly but unfortunately I don't see myself as a very good teacher and even if I would try AutoIt is such a big language I wouldn't even know where to start....

I think it would be better if you used the resources that already exist like:
A. AutoIt's own helpfile
B. AutoIt 1-2-3
C. LxP's Learning to Script with AutoIt 3 (do note that the pdf is over 2 years old so there is a possibility that some things could have change so have the helpfile ready if problems/questions arise)

Yes, studying others work can be very helpful sometimes. I myself learned most of what I know about AutoIt from the helpfile but also some from others work

Cute little script, although I have to admid I won't realy use it or anything.

One thing though: I think it'd be more logical if you renamed the column 'Disabled' to 'Enabled'.

Just my two cents

Time for a couple of updates.

-></( NEW VERSION V1.6 )\><-
I broke the versioning scheme for no good damn reason.
The script is now x86 only.
If a x64 OS is detected, you now have tabs for x64 stuff

See first post for description and download!!

Next update should have a improved gui.

[JohnOne]

Errors out for me

C:\Users\john\Downloads\AUDFs\CodecControl\CodecControl1,6.au3 (137) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:
Case $msg = $DShowButtonReloadX64
Case $msg = ^ ERROR

Line 58 "If $OSArch <> "X86" Then"

Changed line 58 to "If $OSArch == "X86" Then"

Gets the GUI to show, but dont know if that will work yet.

x64 processor, 32bit Win 7

ok,
$DShowButtonReloadX64 is declared but it's not a global variable and it's being used in the while loop

[AdmiralAlkex]

lol, lets pretend I left that in so I had more to fix in the gui update

I think that's the same as AoRaToS mentioned.

[AdmiralAlkex]

Just a quick fix.

-></( NEW VERSION V1.7 )\><-
Fixed crash when on x86 operating system.

See first post for description and download!!

Edit: Damn it, something broke again, download pulled for a minute or two.
Edit2: Download is back. Administrator rights are now required on launch (not sure it's optimal, will look into it more).

[AdmiralAlkex]

I couldn't come up with a better gui design, so I did some other stuff.

-></( NEW VERSION V2.1.1 )\><-
Added epic one liner.
Changed to GUIOnEventMode.
Live search for listview (input at bottom).
Various code optimization.
Removed epic one liner

I tested it on my Win7 x64 and get an error when running it:

C:\Coding\AU3\Misc\CodecControl 2.1.1.au3 (314) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
$DShowEnum[$iArch][1][$C] = RegRead($sDShowLocation[$iArch] & $DShowEnum[$iArch][0][$C], "FriendlyName")
^ ERROR
->20:48:29 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

When I change #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n to y it is working because if clause in line 71 will not be executed.

When I change line 78 to _GenerateDShow(0) is it working again.
