3.5.6 startup error (on WinXP)

[cliffshit]

Since 3.5.6 get an error every time when starting SE. Clicking 'cancel' crashes program, 'retry' or 'ignore' continue program as usual.

Sorry, many sites (like github) has upgraded their security to only allow TLS 1.2 and that's why download of plugins/mpv/tesseract-dictionaries does not work in SE 3.5.5 and earlier and that feature is not available in .net 4.0.

So, I can no longer make SE work completely in WinXP :(
But you can run older versions of SE or even latest beta of SE - just not with working download of plugins/mpv/tesseract-dictionaries
Latest beta: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/releases/download/3.5.6/SubtitleEditBeta.zip

btw, since you were asking for suggestions about the help file, maybe put links in there to manually download all this stuff for people who can't download them automatically?

Or maybe even custom error messages for every download function in SE that explain the problem and provide a link?

Thanks for help and beta :)

Mpv can be found here: https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ in the "Dev" package. Copy mpv-1.dll to the Subtitle Edit folder. I don't know if it works on WinXP though.

Plugins here: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/plugins/releases/tag/v.1.1 (unpack to the "Plugins" folder)

Tesseract dictionaries here: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/support-files/tree/master/tessdata (unpack to the "Tesseract/tessdata" folder)

And just in case, spell check dictionaries are here: https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries (save dic/aff files to the "Dictionaries" folder)

The 64bit version of mpv-1.dll, if you're getting it from that archive, btw.

Which is the last working version for Windows XP?

I tried 3.5.4 but also this throws errors or crashes when I use vlc (13 x "App interupted with ctrl+c" Error MessageBox) or mpv (NtCreateFile-API failed... "Message: MPV - not all needed methods found in dll file" ... ) or DirectShow (missing LAV decoders, not available for xp it seems).

Is there a older version working with VLC then on XP?
Thank

Somewhat belatedly, apparently it's this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20161023110401/https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/mpv-dev-20151029.7z
