[madsrh]

Hi
I can't seem to get my News plugin working. Everytime I start it MP crashes. Should I post a bug report or somekind of XML file?

Okay, thanks.
Here is part of the error log. Don't know why but I can't upload the whole log - mabey it's to big.
Anyway what happens is that MP freezes (or nothing happens) when I click the News plugin.

Hi madsrh,

To me it looks like an issue with the gfx drivers. Is your GFX card 100% DirectX 9 Compatible? That is a requirement for MP.

Try updating the drivers and use the released MP version 0.2.0.0, although I do not know that such an issue was introduced & fixed. If it still occurs, a dev would have to have a look (I am by no means a DX Expert).

** EDIT **
I just checked requirements and it states 128 MB GFX is needed, so your GFX Board is probably to outdated:

1.4 Ghz or higher
256 MB RAM
50 MB free hard drive space
Windows XP with SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0
Windows Media Player 9 or later
DirectX 9 or later
DirectX 9 capable graphics card with at least 128MB of video memory (highly recommended)
TV tuner card (required for tv functionality)

** EDIT **

Thanks, I'll try updateing my drivers and installing the 0.2 version
