Could someone fix the website please
« on: December 04, 2002, 05:40:29 am »

After two days no-one has responded to this in the 3rd party section.   So I'm posting it here hoping someone can action this:

I thought you got Album View working in version 9?

Isn't it, and if not, what's the problem?

We couldn't tell what's going on for sure.  The crash happens inside of AV.

Our best guess is that AV is linking to an outdated .tlb file. (though it _shouldn't_ matter)

I'll make sure the latest one is in the next build of MJ 9.

Let us know if it makes a difference...

Well I have just tried b85 and the same thing happens.

When calling pTrack->m_pMJFile->GetImageFile( IMAGEFILE_IN_FILE ) I get an abort:

The reason you can't see is that the version that's publically available doesn't have the:

        m_bWindowOnly = TRUE;


In the COM object constructor.


Also I have noticed that pMJFile->GetAlbumArtist() has been removed.   This makes it a bit difficult to have a single EXE for both v8 and v9.   I though the whole idea of a COM object was that the interface doesn't change ... if you're not supporting this in MC 9 can't you just return a blank string or something?

pMJFile->GetAlbumArtist()

It must have been added to version 8 after we forked 8 and 9.

We need to reconsile the interfaces between version 8 and version 9.

More later...

I haven't reconciled the interfaces yet.  It will be done either in the next build or the one following.

Sorry this is hairy, but MC 9 is still a moving target.

Thanks Rhino.

Try MC 9.0.87 (just uploaded)

I tried to get the interfaces reconciled and included a new TLB.  

If nothing else, we're getting closer...

Hi Matt,

Exactly the same problem:


KERNEL32! 77e73887()
MSVCRTD! _CxxThrowException@8 + 57 bytes
_com_raise_error(long -2147352573, IErrorInfo * 0x00000000) + 35 bytes

_threadstart(void * 0x018362a8) line 173 + 13 bytes
KERNEL32! 77e7d33b()


But at least GetAlbumArtists() didn't get a compile error.


Also this issue is nothing to do with AV as it took me 2 seconds to reproduce it with the BusyBox VB sample.



UPDATE - Seems also GetTrackNumber doesn't work in the BusyBox sample also.


Here's how I modified the z loop in the btnPlayRandomTracks_Click function:


   ' go through and add 10 files
   For z = 1 To 10
       
       ' pick a random file
       Dim nFileIndex As Integer
       nFileIndex = Rnd() * MJFiles.GetNumberFiles()
       
       ' make sure the index is in bounds
       If (nFileIndex >= 0 And nFileIndex < MJFiles.GetNumberFiles) Then
           
           ' get the file
           Dim MJFile As MediaJukebox.MJFileAutomation
           Set MJFile = MJFiles.GetFile(nFileIndex)
           
           MsgBox "Checking " & MJFile.FileName()
' CRASH:    szValue = MJFile.GetImageFile(IMAGEFILE_IN_FILE)
' CRASH:    lValue = MJFile.GetTracknumber()
           szValue = MJFile.GetFormattedFileSize()
           MsgBox "after " & lValue & ":" & szValue
           
           ' add it to playing now
           MJCurPlaylist.AddFile MJFile.FileName, z - 1
       
       End If
   Next z

Thanks for the details.  It'll be better next build. (I think)

It's getting better ... no crashes but pTrack->m_pMJFile->GetTracknumber() is returning 0 for every track.

I can't reproduce that.

Adding this code to BusyBox at the same place as your sample works as expected:

MsgBox MJFile.TrackNumber

Any more clues?

I will look later tonight but in every call to get the track number (e.g. showing the balloon tips or the album's track listing) it always returns zero.

Matt,

I have just installed b88 here at home and it says my trial has expired!

I was happily using v8 ... then I installed MC v9 b87 which worked just fine and now this.

Is it a problem with this version?

Am I going to have to waste one of my restores even though it was all working perfectly before??

Burn a restore if you need to.  Let me know if you run out.

Thanks Jim ... I used one up and MC 9 is a happy camper again.

I think I've got around 7 left so I should be ok for a little while ;)

I don't See this

MJFile.GetTracknumber()

I do see this

MJFile.Tracknumber (And this works in MC 9)

Matt,

I modified the OnClickedSleep function in the SleepTimer app to read as so:


LRESULT CSleepTimerCtrl::OnClickedSleep(WORD wNotifyCode, WORD wID, HWND hWndCtl, BOOL& bHandled)
{
     IMJFilesAutomationPtr      pMJFiles = m_pMJ->Search( (LPCTSTR)"" );
     IMJFileAutomationPtr    pMJFile;

     if( pMJFiles != NULL )
     {
           long lTrackNumber;
           long lTotal                        =      0;
           long lEOL                        =      pMJFiles->GetNumberFiles();

           for( long lLoop1 = 0; lLoop1 < lEOL; lLoop1++ )
           {
                 pMJFile = pMJFiles->GetFile( lLoop1 );
                 lTrackNumber = pMJFile->GetTracknumber();

                 if( lTrackNumber > 0 )
                 {
                       AtlTrace( "Track %06d = %03d", lLoop1, lTrackNumber );
                       ++lTotal;
                 }

           }
           AtlTrace( "Found %ld out of %ld", lTotal, lEOL );
     }

     ToggleSleep();
     return 0;
}



When I run it I get:


[384] Track 000113 = 001
[384] Track 000114 = 002
[384] Track 000124 = 001

[384] Track 002695 = 005
[384] Track 002696 = 006
[384] Track 002697 = 007
[384] Track 002698 = 008
[384] Track 002699 = 009
[384] Track 002700 = 010
[384] Track 002701 = 011
[384] Track 002702 = 012
[384] Track 002781 = 001
[384] Track 002782 = 006
[384] Track 002783 = 255
[384] Track 002784 = 012
[384] Track 004033 = 012
[384] Track 005430 = 001
[384] Found 49 out of 5530



Which is surprising since all of my tracks have track numbers.

I have confirmed with Helium2 that the track numbers are still intact within the MP3 files.

As a final test I wiped my library and regenerated it ... the problem still remains.


Also when I view my tracks with MJ it shows the track# as being blank .. but only for some of them ... 49.

The only thing I can see that links them all together is that the 49 tracks do not have an ID3v2 total tracks tag (the one where you can specify the total tracks within an album).

I think that's where you should be looking.


If you still can't find it let me know and I'll email you a couple of mp3's that should hilight the issue.

It'd be great if you could send me one of the files.

It may take like a week (busy making Unicode transition), but we'll get to it.

Matt,

I've sent them again.

If you don't get them this time I will put them on some webspace and email you the URL.

The email size is 10mb so maybe some SMTP server is refusing to take it.
