So I can confirm that you are incorrect.

Having installed Python 3.11 fully, and changing the PATH variables, Plex breaks and no longer plays video (since the mpv dll is trying to do something it cannot, Plex just crashes) This is because the mpv64 plugin is no longer where it looks for python and the plugin files, since it then looks at the python folder...

When I copy the contents of the mpv64 folder into the python folder, Plex works properly again. And then I have the full use of python and its plugins... To which now function as to be expected. (I'm not going to waste time trying to identify exactly which files are needed in that folder since that's a huge waste of my time. But it does in fact work to run SVP and mpv64 from the python folder)
In this case it was the folder located in appdata/roaming/python/python311
PATH is now set to that location for python. And the contents of the mpv64 folder are now in that folder to accommodate compatibility.

Stealing PATH env variable and installing into your own custom is a HUGE problem.
It took me ages to figure out why when I needed to use Python it was completely broken.

I need somebody to tell me how I might delete your BS custom python, and then point everything to a full install version with the modules I actually need to do everything else with python.
which version, modules and otherwise else is needed for SVP?

It's worse that python essentially is installed without any means of removal from the normal routes... Since I thought I had a clean system but command line was running python from someplace... (That I then had to track down)
Completely breaking all other functions of a system for your single piece of software is a HUGE red flag.

Its now that other software which requires python and modules will never run...

How do I fix this so all other software will also work?
I need to install the full version of python, and remove yours. But I also want to use the software I paid for from your end...
If I am to install the full version, and disable yours, what do I need to add, or enable to maintain functionality in SVP? (I use it for Plex and MPV solely, mostly Plex)

If you can put all the correct things into your own custom, then you/I can put them in a full release of python... I just need to know what.

This is completely unacceptable software design practices.
