I got this error in the console
Failed to create raw player because VLC is not loaded
and the video menu is black and can't load
@Supertheobrg i searched into discovery stuff and indeed. discovery uses the windows registry installation path
can you show me what is the VLC installation path in your registry editor?
inside on Equipo\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VideoLAN\VLC
should look like this:
The mod doesn't search at the right place, the mod is not looking in the installation folders by default :
He's located by default here : C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN to fix this issue i had to copy the folders into one of those location

For me, the one that worked, is *C:\Windows*

The error is located at Line 1279
those errors had NOTHING related to watermedia or fmv. your problem is WATERMeDIA is attemping to load VLC but cannot be founded
go to C:\Users\theob\AppData\Local\Temp\watermedia\ and delete the entire folder
if that doesn't work install VLC 3 manually
i transfered the issue because is a unknow issue from watermedia
VLCJ gets the wrong path to the VLC installation for some unknw reason (blaming broken registries)
