K-Lite installs ffmpeg and a player that uses ffmpeg by default, come on ...
And yes, it's windows codecs. ffmpeg uses installed codecs. If you use it's Windows version, it uses installed windows codecs. Surprise!!!!!
Renpy will only use the specific ffmpeg that is built into it. Any other version you install will be ignored.

Never said anything against that. But that version will use whatever it can grab, it's the same program after all.
Ren'Py is system dependent, the python runtime is system dependent, it's render modes are system dependent. Why should the video codecs not be.

But if you have a better suggestion to solve a problem with video codecs rather than installing a video pack, be my guest and give that user advice how to do it. Please do so by all means.
After all this is about solving his problem.

One possible solution would be using a newer version of renpy. I don't know which version is currently used but there was a that improves video playback.
Another option is to use one of the compression tools to convert the video files to a faster format. But that takes a lot of time and lowers the visual quality.

Hi, I tried using your gallery unlock file for Lust Academy season 2, and while most of the gallery was unlocked there are still some that were unseen. Is there a way to fix this?
I have never had any issues with this, tried the script on every new update and everything seemed to work... can you show which ones that aren't unlocking?

Two good points. But I wonder why only his system is affected and others aren't.

It's a fairly common issue for renpy to decode vp9 video slowly on older cpus. Although the post didn't give any info about the cpu so I'm just guessing about that being the cause.

ohmz Nemo56 wow okay thanks guys for the replies , ill try the codec pack ...
i did change render options but it made no difference , i tried that before posting here asking for help
my cpu is a i5-1135 but what's funny is that its maxing my cpu usage at 99% when running renpy games... ALL RENPY GAMES it seems
so doubt its an hardware issue..

To avoid such problems (scripts from download hosts that install additional software), use a download manager (I prefer ). Copy / paste the link into the downloader and let it do it's job.

But no matter what you do, never ever run a .exe file directly downloaded from these sites.

Seasons 1-3 are separated programs and can be played indepentently.
If you chose sandbox mode, you can transfer a savegame from S1 -> S2 and S2 -> S3 to keep your inventory and combat stats. This is not mandatory however.
