Locking up on playing episode (1 Viewer)

[Andrew H]

There seems to be an issue with Mediainfo.dll

Oddly enough you may be on to something... With the latest update to StreamedMP I selected to NOT install Movies... but here's what I'm finding: There seems to be an issue with Mediainfo.dll

I've been using MP for years and have NEVER been unable to play, or been refused to playback a Recorded-TV program!

What has me perplexed is whether it's something screwed up in a recent version of the mediainfo.dll or if my installing StreamedMP and/or TV-Series is having an effect. And here's a kicker: I have a Dateline episode I watched on my new system last week across my LAN (from my old HTPC). All went well and now I get the [ERROR][MPMain(1)]: MediaInfoWrapper.MediaInfoWrapper: unable to call external DLL whenever I try to watch it again! Same file, same interconnect... all the same except I may had been using RC3 last time I'd watched that Dateline episode! Do we know which version of mediainfo.dll was in RC3? Do we understand whether this is a mediainfo.dll issue, StreamedMP, and/or TV-Series effect???

I'm thinking to locate older versions of mediainfo.dll and see if that restores my ability to watch that Dateline episode. Oddly enough, I wan watch any of these files using MPC-HC and WMP so it's not that the file is messed up, but that MP is waiting on mediainfo.dll to announce its content and if it doesn't then MP declared it a RADIO file and plays back the audio stream!

I loaded several versions tonight and the last version to work correctly and play these 'suspect' files is 7.30 while later versions yeild the ERROR. Do we know which version is included in RC3 and whether others have issue with mediainfo or how to focus attention on this?

Best way to get this resolved, is log a report in the MediaInfo forums. He has a FTP site in which you can submit a file if you have a problem or you can skip a step and upload to http://drop.io and link to it in your forum thread.

MP-TVSeries includes the latest media info library 0.7.33, which is also included in the StreamedMP install.

Last I checked, MediaPortal was shipping v0.7.31 but they may have added a newer one since then.

I read somewhere in the StreamedMP skin forum that they had fixed for this type of problem with an older version of the Mediainfo.dll
