I tried to start MP 1.0 but the screen stays on 'Initializing DirectX'. I get an error message: VMR9 handler is outdated. Can anyone help me to fix this?

    I would assume that you are using Windows XP. Please install SP3, it has up to date quartz.dll.

    Hi...

    I have the same problem, upon launch of MP1.0 the screen stucked at init DirectX and I go to Windows Task Manager and discover VMR9 Handler is Outdated in application. I killed it and MP1.0 continued. It worked. I tried everything, and it worked. I can watch movie, TV, music etc.

    But after that first time fluke, When I start MP1.0 again it always crashed afterward, everytime I try it crashed. And I can't write the log, because the log crashed too. I waited for like 10 minute and the log bar thing just stuck half way. So sorry can't post log.

    Is there any other options beside XP SP3 ? My PC wouldn't work (like I have to re-install Win XP32 if I put in SP3) I had to roll back to SP2. It's an old PC I am using for HTPC.

    Later I am going to try windowsxp-kb927544-x86-enu.exe as another older thread suggested, will that work as an alternative to SP3 ?

    I am going to report back later when I have time to try it. But if there are other solution please help me. Thank you.

    Only XP SP3 (32) and Vista SP1 (32/64) are supported by Team MediaPortal. If you do any "workarounds", please don't request support.

    :D

    Thank you for this tip! I'm moving MP TV Server to a new machine. I installed the 64-bit version and most of the MP firewall rules were set to Public. I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)
