SUMMARY 1. Updated to 24.12.0 2. Can't do import anything and all projects are invalid STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install latest version on Windows 10 OBSERVED RESULT During Configuration Wizard I get: - Missing app: mediainfo optional for technical clip information - Missing package: AVFilter provides many effects. Install recommended - Missing MLT module: avformat (FFmpeg) required for audio/video EXPECTED RESULT Everything working fine like before this update SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Thought it was my OS/something I had done but it's KDENLive that's the issue Tried pointing to the right FFmpeg paths and such, doesnt fix the problem I tried reinstalling FFmpeg (different versions and changing the directory it's in) Temporary Solution Downgrading to 23.08.5 fixes the issue
Created attachment 177105 [details] Default paths I guess you have the install version. Please check if the path is as in the screenshot attached. If so, please try with the standalone version to see if it works (https://kdenlive.org/en/download/).
I have the same problems with the standalone version The paths are the same as the screenshot you provided on both install and standalone version my mediainfo.exe has a capital M though if that changes anything
The path in the standalone version points to the same folders as the install version. Then it’s something wrong with the install version. Please do the following: - Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\kdenlive - Install Kdenlive again. Does the issue still happen?
Yes the issue still happens after deleting the standalone and then reinstalling the install version I shall upload images of what's happening

Again if I downgrade to 23.08.5 everything's works perfectly fine and there are no errors
The issues happen with 24.12.1 as well
Created attachment 177371 [details] no error config wizard 23.08.5
Created attachment 177372 [details] paths for 23.08.5
On 24.12.1 try a reset: Menu ‣ Help ‣ Reset Configuration If that still not help, see this page and check: https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/troubleshooting/windows_issues.html#any-critical-bug
I'll give that a go asap I've had a look at the critical bugs and it dont seem to provide anything useful to the issues I'm having. I did use Bulk Crap Uninstaller to uninstall kdenlive and removed a bunch of left over files on my 3rd uninstall so that could have done something: https://github.com/Klocman/Bulk-Crap-Uninstaller I am also using windows 10 enterprise and I did a bunch of wack regedits and customisations so I may have screwed my OS in some way that caused the new versions of kdenlive to bug out (but everything else is fine and the old version works) Unless it's because I have a separate ffmpeg install? like i have an install in C:\FFmpeg and that's on my system path and then I have the ffmpeg that comes with kdenlive but i never put it on my path Also I use python in conda environments so it's not properly installed on my system if that might affect anything Just giving as much info as I can incase that hints to any possible solution I really want to continue using kdenlive, for now (until I refresh my OS or eventually switch to linux for most things) I don't mind using an older version. The kdenlive FFmpeg integration, the UI and the customisability of everything is so sweet that I cannot go back :') I've tried other products and the amount of hassle you have to go through to support non-standard formats and things is crazy.
