Everyone who is having a crash with 1.0.2 and the new test dshowhelper.dll file provided in this thread, please check if installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1 redist DLL files will solve the crash Download details: Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

On a quick look into SVN log that could be the reason why the crash is happening. Nothing else big has been done

ps. ISIS was really great on last weekend

'Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package' was installed when I did my original tests, so that's not the problem on my system.

What is the proper channel to report this bug to Microsoft?? Since its pretty clear its a MS issue, since it happens across various platforms, applications, and driver revisions, and reverting to older evr.dll files fixes the issue.

Unfortunately I have to back my saing and it is MediaPortal bug (as we didn't before set any value to EVR mixer's MF_MT_VIDEO_NOMINAL_RANGE). I would assume that for example Sage TV has as bad code as we do

Then I have no clue, but as 1.0.2 is crashing also with the 1.1.0 ALPHA DLL the fix should be safe. Next public SVN build for the 1.1.0 ALPHA will contain the fix.

Is your fixed code for directshowhelper already in actual SVN? Or do i have to use still your .dll with latest SVN build?

oh - OK you were faster

 

[tourettes]

Fixed in SVN version 23220.

OK, I really don't have much to contribute. Just wanted to say that the dshowhelper.dll file causes my mediaportal 1.02 to crash as well. I only replaced the dshowhelper.dll file in the mediaportal folder with the new DLL.

Am i that lucky then? Or are other things causing those crashes for everyone (except for a very few people (with both nvidia & ATI) who don't get them)?

I did a clean install last weekend of 1.0.2. Installed StreamedMP, then dropped in the files from MPC-HC in (which still gives the out-of-sync issue in but my receiver lipsyncs that most of the time) and then replaced the dshowhelper.dll

Only thing i can't get fixed is the basichome weatherbug (which was working before the clean install)

tony: Did you try de-installing ffdshow (just to give it a try?) since that's what's showing up in your errorlogs.

I can confirm this, too. Too be sure I installed the runtime again - but MP 1.0.2 still keeps crashing with the modified version of the dll.

Buddy of mine also did the test with the new dshowhelper.dll and also got the crash (on MP 1.0.2)

This is what his logs say (no clue about th error, but might point some devs in the direction why it's crashing)

2009-07-22 19:28:48.044571 [ERROR][MPMain]: Control has invalid animation type [ on thumbAnimation]
2009-07-22 19:28:54.750887 [ERROR][MPMain]: Control has invalid animation type [ on thumbAnimation]

He's on Vista SP1, Nvidia 9500GT, MP 1.0.2

neo2001 had the same error in his logs.

Skinner should fix the skin (althou the logged error is not related to the crash).


Anyone who has had 1.0.2 crashing with the DLL, please try 1.1.0 ALPHA with the modified DLL (just to make sure that you aren't going to get into some trouble with the 1.1.0 release when it is out ).
