- Added a check to make sure the user has admin privileges
- In some rare cases, Avisynth gets stuck on reading a single frame, mostly the first frame due to an extremely slow script, buggy decoder, etc. There is now a configurable timeout in AVSMeter.ini: "ReadTimeout=120" sets the timeout to 120 seconds which is also the default.
