Who here has a Youtube-DL compile for WinXP?

I can't reproduce the problem.  I downloaded the same video source and assets as yours and it played with my ffplay version 8.2-1568-b355200263-win32-shared.

Here is a new basic static build for you to test to see if the problem persists.

Unfortunately, the problem persists. I downloaded the video with same yt-dlp options once again. Same behaviour. Your ffplay.exe opens and immediately closes. Here is my suggestion. I'll send you a PM with a link to the video file, and you can test it in-depth on your system. Ok? If you need the yt-dlp log generated while downloading the video, do not hesitate to ask for it here.

@autodidact When testing, please use this command:

Quote

ffplay -autoexit -vf subtitles=filename=\'"Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"\' "Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"

I think it is a problem showing the embedded subtitle in version 8.2 as the standard command without subtitle works:

Quote

ffplay -autoexit "Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"

Maybe you can bring yourself to build your releases the way you always have in the past.

BTW, the MSFN editor is such a piece of junk. To inject this code into my post, is an absolute nightmare. I had to simplify my command. MSFN seems to consider completely harmless DOS commands to be dangerous.

This should have the fix and it will be included in the next release as well.

Ok. Thanks! This one is working again. So it seems it really was a subtitle issue. I suppose that was due to your "scaling down to basic" since it didn't occur in version 8.1.  Anyway! I'm looking forward to your next releases and perhaps one day a "scaling up to standard".
