[solved] Can't play video in debug (1 Viewer)

[Stéphane Lenclud]

True... but it seems most of the problems you've run into so far could have been avoided if you'd used the build scripts. For example, there would be no confusion about the DShowHelper solution, and so there would also be no confusion about streams.h and SDKs.

Build script ain't working that's why I'm looking at the other solutions we have in there. I never opened our Filter solution until today. I opened the DirectShowHelper solution first cause that was the first binary causing problems in my logs. So I did a file search and found the solution.

Okay. For the record: I do not maintain DShowHelper, but AFAIK the DirectShowHelpers solution is not used.

That's what it looks like. Still I guess I'll push a fix for it later today.

There are only 3 errors there, and they all look approximately the same. All related to YASM. The obvious question would be: have you followed the instructions in the wiki that relate to YASM?
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...ding_MediaPortal_from_source/1_Git_Setup#YASM

If not, it's no surprise that you're getting the errors.

That seems to be my problem here. Apparently one needs to install YASM for each version of Visual Studio. I guess both my VS2013 and VS2015 don't have it.
I'll take a look at it later.

I'll try to reply before I leave.

Don't worry mate, you already help me a lot. With luck it will just be a missing YASM issue.
As always I'm humbled by your skills, patience and dedication to this community.
Have a splendid time away from your keyboard!

the wiki clearly says that you have to install YASM, as it is an external tool, not supplied with VS.

Alright so setting up YASM fixed my issues with codecs in debug mode.
Thanks guys!

That's great news.

Build script ain't working...

Hmmm. What I'd expect is that it would have reported the same errors as when you tried to build Filters.sln in VS. Now that VS can build, you should also be able to use the build script. Please can you double-check and confirm.

It looks like there was no error reported by our build scripts when YASM was missing. See attachments.

Looks like the scripts are working fine now too.

Unfortunately I'm having another issue when trying to play TS and MKV while debugging, it looks like MP just quits. See attached logs. Playing SD AVI worked fine.

Spoiler: logs

I think it was working when building from scripts so maybe I could use that build and attach VS for debug.

Personally I find the build reports much harder to read than the output on the command line. Nevertheless, if you look in the XML report you'll see:

<project targets="Rebuild" file="D:\dev\GitHub\MediaPortal\MediaPortal-1\DirectShowFilters\mpc-hc_subs\src\thirdparty\VirtualDub\system\system.vcxproj" started="07/05/2016 08:44:36">

</project>

Same error as VS was showing you.

Mmmh, missed that somehow, I could have missed the command line output error too I guess.

Given the last log entry, the fact that Despicable Me has subtitles, and that the 24 episode played fine and did not have subtitles, it's obviously something to do with subtitles. I'm not very good with subtitle problems as I don't ever use them. It may be a subtle limitation of the subtitle engine you have selected.
