So from now on, I don't have to count all the way up.

Time for some serious hardware routing.
Hi, I got the same problem here, using Avira full version.chahur wrote:Hello
I've got a problem for a few days : my antivirus (Avira Antivirus Free) finds the troyan TR/Crypt.ZPACK.8960 in the file vst.exe.
I suspect a false detection, because this file is here since 2012/05.
But it could be annoying.
Would it be possible for you to investigate the problem ?
Hi, I uploaded the vst.exe to virustotal.com, i get an alarm on 4/50 scanners, one of them AntiVir. I still guess it's a false alarm. I also recompiled the .exe(I also did some small changes in the code), now only 1 of 50 scanners find a trojan(but not AntiVir anymore). I'll update the loader package in the next days.chahur wrote:Hello

Many thanks for your great job !
The vst.exe has nothing to do with the video player, most likely they changed something in Studio One which breaks the video player. I'll take a look at the Studio One Demo if there is one.I mainly was looking for a good video player VST to use in my DAW and was delighted to have found a video player that seemed to integrate really well, and easy to use.
But now it looks as if PVST is not working anymore the way it should. I can't seem to get videos playing with a certain time offset (i.e. I can't get the video to start at a certain time-code, other than straight from the start of a song file). When I tested upon installing, this gave no problem at all, and seemed to be really easy. Maybe this functionality is not working because I updated & upgraded my DAW (Studio One Pro), or maybe it is because I quarantined the suspect exe. If the exe was legit, then it it makes sense that some functionality could be broken.
But if removing the exe is the reason for the VST not working as it should, then we DO have a problem. Because it DID give suspect activity at a time when it should not have done anything at all...
Hi polac. Thanks for looking into this.polac wrote:The vst.exe has nothing to do with the video player, most likely they changed something in Studio One which breaks the video player. I'll take a look at the Studio One Demo if there is one.
Right, so I tried to download the pack again, but got another virus alert (by Avira). I guess you haven't posted the modified version yet?polac wrote:Hi, I uploaded the vst.exe to virustotal.com, i get an alarm on 4/50 scanners, one of them AntiVir. I still guess it's a false alarm.

I did another test with the old version, after doing the most recent update of Studio One.polac wrote:The vst.exe has nothing to do with the video player, most likely they changed something in Studio One which breaks the video player. I'll take a look at the Studio One Demo if there is one.
Presently, when I do this, the video will start playing even before the note is played (i.e. the video starts from the beginning of the timeline). Maybe I should use the VST differently? (it could be helpful to have some minimum documentation with the downloadJust load the mediavst.dll to your host program as a VST instrument, and place a single C4 note at the beginning of the timeline to start to play the video. Right click the VST window to open a video file to play.
Yeah you normally just submit the sample to Avira and it'll be sorted in a future signature update. Has definitely worked for me like that in the past !esp81 wrote:Isn't a false positive something Avira should be fixing instead of Polac? The latest version of the loader finally works perfect on my system, I really hope changing code just for a false positive doesn't cause any other problems.
The Avira support got back to me and confirmed it was just a false positive, as I expected. Now it's up to them to adapts their virus definitions.mcbpete wrote:Yeah you normally just submit the sample to Avira and it'll be sorted in a future signature update.

Now here's a strange thing: I could swear that during a test a did a while ago, I got videos playing from the point where I inserted a MIDI note, following the instruction I mentioned. And now you mention that it isn't even supposed to work that way! Duh...polac wrote:Ok, I installed the Studio One 2 Demo here now, the mediavst.dll seems to work just fine here. You also don't have to place a note to a track to make it run in Studio One. If you jump to a new song position the video position is also updated correctly here. To make it clear, the video always syncs to song position, you cannot make the video begin playing at a certain song position xy for example(time offset).
