No OSD when changing channel (1 Viewer)

Seems like u all have this sucker in common;
I think this is the one.

Just added a thanks for helping..

Does that mean you have narrowed it down and a fix will come in future SVN's..or shall we simply edit some XML-file to the correct filepath..? Cause I'm not quite sure how to use the info you provided above..

 

[gibman]

hmmmm...nasty.
Might be a skin problem.

try and open tv_osd.xml in notepad

look for <texture>-</texture>
id 304 and 350 pops up, rite ? the one from the error.log.

no textures are defined ??
Try and insert some small dummy texture (png) and see how it goes.

I found this in tv_osd.xml, didn't find anything on id 304 though:

<control>
<description>Sub Menu Nib</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>350</id>
<texture>-</texture>
<visible>no</visible>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">visiblechange</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="250">windowopen</animation>
</control>

I inserted a png texture in <texture>-</texture>, but that made no difference when trying to get it shown on screen.

Also, I looked at my fully-working SVN 16362 installation..there's no texture defined there either, but all OSD work.

Just checked the twoblue and twoblue wide skins again. The OSD issue stays same on these skins, so I'm afraid it's not skin related...

Any other ideas of what to try to get the OSD back to work.

Strange too, as said already, is when converting back to the older TV-server SVN, OSD starts to work again.

This is a real headbreaker...

Ok having exactly the same problem described here. Backrev TV Plugin to the version stated in this thread also resolves the problem for me. It seems not to be skin dependant as I checked XFace and Blue Two Wide with similar result. I'm using WinXP SP2 on a DualCore E4400 with a ATI Radeon 2600XT and Catalyst 7.11. MP is installed not in default path on my system.

Any additional info you need, Please let me know.

grubi.

Could u try these files.

I've reverted misterd's volume bar fix.
--> 24/11/2007 [20:16:03] gibman added: SF patch#1780553 Fix for the VolumeBar in TV/Video Fullscreen (thx Misterd)

Other than this I cant see any stuff in the SVN log that could cause this.

extract to C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\Windows\

If it works, then plz try the reworked archive.
It contains the volume fix in another approach.

Hi Gibman,

Partially good news! With the volumefix_removed patch, the OSD is working fine!
However, with the reworked version, the OSD problem is back.
Let me know in case you need anything from me.

GRTZ!

Ok, i've the feeling we're getting close. In my error.log, i've the following:

2007-12-03 22:42:04.454430 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Mixer.GetControl.1
bij MediaPortal.Mixer.Mixer.GetControl(MixerComponentType componentType, MixerControlType controlType)
bij MediaPortal.Mixer.Mixer.Open(Int32 mixerIndex, Boolean isDigital)
bij MediaPortal.Player.VolumeHandler..ctor(Int32[] volumeTable)
bij MediaPortal.Player.VolumeHandler.CreateInstance()
bij MediaPortal.Player.VolumeHandler.get_Instance()
bij TvPlugin.TvFullScreen.OnMessage(GUIMessage message)
bij MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindowManager.ActivateWindow(Int32 newWindowId, Boolean replaceWindow)

I guess it has something to do with this.

 

[gibman]

mask, thanx for testing.

I have attached yet another approach for the volume fix.
Could u try it out ?
