Avidemux 2.7 scanning bug

[JCR]

Hi,

This is my first post here, and I hope I could explain the situation correctly.

Currently, on my 32-bits laptop (old one), I have installed the Avidemux 2.7.4.190815 version, from 15th of August 2019.

The Patch My PC Updater 4.1.0.3, detects that a new version of that program needs to be updated, and under "Media Tools" group, it marks the "Avidemux 2.7.5 (x86)" entry.

Since I have the option "Download only mode" selected, the update just simply do the download of the executable setup file, having the name "Avidemux 2.7.5 (x86).exe", but after a file compare, it shows that version, is exactly the same, of version 2.7.4.190815, currently the one that I have on my laptop.

Strangely, on the software site (http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/download.html), there's no 32-bits, for the latest 2.7.5 version available, only for 64-bits, and this explains why the versions from site and from your program, but with a different name, matches, since probably, your program couldn't find out the 32-bits of 2.7.5 version!

The latest version, for 32-bits, can be downloaded, through FossHub site (https://www.fosshub.com), but you need to choose "OLDER VERSIONS", and then the entry "[v2.7.4] Avidemux 32 bit Windows XP installer" (the direct download url is https://www.fosshub.com/Avidemux-old.html?dwl=avidemux_2.7.4_win32.exe).

By default and when possible, the option something like "check for updates", is disabled in every software that I install on my laptop, but for testing purposes, I just enabled on Avidemux, the option "Check for new release", under "Edit, Preferences" menu, and after restarting the software, it didn't give any message for update, meaning that the 32-bits version of Avidemux 2.7.4.190815, is the latest.

Please, asap, correct this bug, on your software.


Many thanks.

Yes sorry about this, we edited it back to 2.7.4 for now until x86 gets a new update as well.
