http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/oggdsf/opencodecs_0.84.17359.exe
After the installation finished, I noticed something odd: the new Vorbis decoder wasn't being used. The reason was that another decoder was registered for that type with a higher merit value, and I had to use DSFM to edit it to get the new decoder to load. Ironically, the decoder in question was an old version of Xiph's Vorbis decoder.
To prevent such problems, the installer should verify that the newly installed codecs have the highest merit value for the media type they service, and display a warning if this isn't the case.
It would be slick if said warning displayed some information on the offending codec, like path, name, version, merit value, and let the user accept the situation, or fix it by promoting the new codec or demoting or disabling the old codec.
(Ideally, a tool might be included so the user can edit the merit values. Something a bit like DSFM, but simpler? I realise that coding that would mean work though, and that is not what this ticket is about primarily.)Cristian AdamCristian Adamhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/oggdsf/-/issues/1710Register WMP's Preview Hander with the new media file types2018-04-29T07:18:12ZTim De BaetsRegister WMP's Preview Hander with the new media file typesI think that it would be a good idea for oggdfs to register WMP's Preview Hander with the new media file types (.flac, .ogg etc.) on Windows Vista and 7.

This will allow the Preview Pane in Windows Explorer to work for these file types too, just like it already does for MP3 files, for example.
These registrations can also be made manually by using the Preview Handler Association Editor at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/toub/archive/2006/12/14/preview-handler-association-editor.aspx.Cristian AdamCristian Adamhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/oggdsf/-/issues/1705Create Native FLAC muxer/file writer2018-04-29T07:18:12ZbarrowsiCreate Native FLAC muxer/file writerAt present, when using the Ogg DS filters, our only option is to write files into an Ogg container format.

When encoding to FLAC, this results in a file that cannot be played in WMP, and although VLC can play it, the duration is not displayed.
We could do with the addition of a filter to write FLAC files in the Native FLAC container format to overcome these problems.Cristian AdamCristian Adamhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/oggdsf/-/issues/1699xiph vorbis dshow encoder: no connection to matroska or haali muxer2018-04-29T07:18:12Zpimexxiph vorbis dshow encoder: no connection to matroska or haali muxerThe current output of the vorbis dshow-encoder can not be directly connected neither to haali muxer nor to original matroska muxer (but webm muxer accepts it).

Seeking in file causes Winamp to freeze (easy to reproduce, sometimes from first seek request). Windows Media Player 11 doesn't seem to be affected, seeking in the same file works.
Thank you Dan R. for reporting this issue.

1. When streamed from a UPNP media server (e.g. try mediatomb from Linux). The server works fine, I tested FLAC streaming with a hardware streamer. MP3s also work fine. FLACs do not.
2. When double clicked from library after adding FLACS using WMTagPlus (http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/wmptagplus/)
In both scenarios you see WM display "media changing" several times and it skips several tracks before finally giving up and saying it doesn't know how to play them.Cristian AdamCristian Adamhttps://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/oggdsf/-/issues/1637DirectShow Installer does not provide an option to select the directshow filt...2018-04-29T07:18:12ZCristian AdamDirectShow Installer does not provide an option to select the directshow filters to be installedWindows DirectShow Installer (version 0.81.15562) does not provide an option to select which directshow filters are going to be installed, it installs all of them.

However, when the same file is right clicked from a play list, Media Usage Rights say that "The File is missing media usage rights". The files still play, however this poses a problem when using dopisp to sync and convert flac files on the fly to an iPod. They will no longer convert. They used to in Vista, and I believe the Windows 7 7000. I also used WMPTSE 1.4 and have the 64-bit OS, and use both 64 and 32 bit WMP.Cristian AdamCristian Adam
