Topic: MC9.316 - Could not create plugin (Read 7263 times)

mjcumming · « **on:** January 06, 2004, 08:10:22 am »

Something happened with the latest MC9. When I now try and burn a CD, I get a "Could not create plugin" error which causes MC9 to terminate. This occurs when ripping a CD. MC9 gets the metadata from YADB and then gives the error. Ripping using secure and VBR MP3 high quality.

Try downloading the MP3 encoder plug-in.

What version is MC?

mjcumming · « **Reply #2 on:** January 06, 2004, 08:37:35 am »

Its 136 not 139

If I restart MC9 after the failure, it will rip the next time ... so I don't think that plugin is the problem. What other info can I provide?

Mike

JimH · « **Reply #3 on:** January 06, 2004, 08:56:57 am »

9.1.316 is the latest build. Can you try that?

Please copy your system info here by going to MC help/system info and then pasting here.

This is the error I am getting too on the system I just set up.

It's a fresh setup of XP, fresh install of MC.

Ejecting the CD gives me the error: Could not create plugin ''
and then MC is crashing.

Its ruinin the HTPC setup which is otherwise working great.

park · « **Reply #6 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:04:42 am »

I get this error whenever i plugin in my firewire dvd writer while MC is already running. it causes MC to crash.

nila · « **Reply #7 on:** January 07, 2004, 10:32:12 am »

Yeah,
I get that.

Only diff is my drive is a standard IDE one.
It's a combo DVD CDRW one.

nila · « **Reply #8 on:** January 12, 2004, 04:14:51 am »

Still getting this error in the latest builds of v10.

It's bringing my HTPC to a complete grinding halt every time we insert or ejct a CD.

TOTALLY ruining the experience

Any plans to look into it??

Penfold · « **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2004, 10:49:01 am »

Same here, put in a cd, or eject one generates following error:

Could not create plugin "

(Note the intentionally single quote at the end)

Been happening for the last several builds, although in the last few builds XP reports that 'Media Core has had a problem & needs to shut down', would I like to send an error report to Microsoft? Note that the music/playlist continues to play behind the dialog box until I 'OK' the XP error message, where it crashes to the desktop.

I can see what the error reports contains, but I know not how to copy that info to send to you guys, assuming you would want it, as it will not allow me to select any text.

Could it be a third party plug-in that is missing? Check the plug-in manager under tools in MC.

nila · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2004, 10:57:10 am »

Freshly installed machine, fresh install of MC with NO plugins EVER been installed on it!

It's a PURE MC bug.

JimH · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2004, 11:11:33 am »

Nila,
Until we can duplicate it we can't fix it.

Have you been through the plug-in manager carefully?

nila · « **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2004, 12:30:51 pm »

Jim,
I understand that but trying to say it is a plugin is NO help as no plugins have ever been near the machine.
If it's meant to be a plugin that's supposed to be there as standard then I'm not sure as I dont know what MC requires in order to operate.
In terms of third party plugins, as I already stated, none have been near the machine.

I dont mind providing any information that would help but trying to shift the blame away from MC isn't solving anything.

leaves me a tad confused. If Nila has a clean OS install, and a clean MC, but Jim insists it's plugin related, then it must be one of MC's default plugins causing the problem.
How can Nila, or anyone else, trouble shoot that?

I don't believe I said it was a plug-in. That, however, is what the error message says. So give us more info and maybe we can find it.

Sorry to be of NO help.

By carefully checking the plug-in manager to see if anything is installed there (even if it doesn't exist).

If you want to argue about it, I'll just lock the thread and go back to what I was doing (reading PeaBrain magazine).

Matt · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2004, 01:52:03 pm »

What's the exact message?

I can't find 'not create plugin' anywhere in the MC source.

nila · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2004, 01:56:22 pm »

Thanks for the reply Matt,
I'll insert a CD as soon as I get home into the machine then write down the message it produces and post it.

Penfold · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2004, 05:45:41 pm »

Picture is worth a thousand words...

Can confirm this happens on clean install of MC 10.0.32, no plugins installed...

Happens whenever a CD is inserted OR ejected...

BTW I'm using the Ricoh burner listed below as my Pioneer DVD drive only ever wants to read DVDs

Incidentally the burner IS Burnproof contrary to what sys info says below...

Same problem here. On my XP-system a dialog appears with the signature of the error. It contains the following information:

AppName: media jukebox.exe
AppVer: 10.0.32.0
ModName: media jukebox.exe
ModVer: 10.0.32.0
Offset: 00004863

Is this of some help?

park · « **Reply #23 on:** January 14, 2004, 02:20:06 am »

Same here.
Only happens if I turn on my firewire DVDdrive after I have started MC.

And it causes MC to crash too. Quite annoying actually.

Matt · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2004, 11:46:51 am »

Can you try renaming any / all of these keys to see if it matters:

First try:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Handheld

If it still does it, then try:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins

Thanks!

plopje · « **Reply #25 on:** January 14, 2004, 01:47:14 pm »

Sorry Matt, renaming one of those the keys does not resolve the problem.

I renamed "handheld" to "handhelds" and "plugins" to "plugin",
so MC can't find any plugins, but MC still crashes as soon as I press the eject-button on my dvd-drive or dvd-writer.
The problem does only occur if a CD or DVD is loaded or ejected. Opening and closing an (already) empty tray is no problem.

Matt · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2004, 01:52:17 pm »

Are you seeing the message after renaming those keys, or just a crash? It could be two different problems.

plopje · « **Reply #27 on:** January 14, 2004, 02:08:04 pm »

After renaming the registry-keys MC just crashes. No dialog: Cannot create plug-in ".

Matt · « **Reply #28 on:** January 15, 2004, 10:21:55 am »

Anyone with this problem: please try the next build of MC 10 and let us know what the message says. It will report what type of plugin MC is trying to create.

Thanks!

Penfold · « **Reply #29 on:** January 15, 2004, 06:19:42 pm »

OK, now reports:

Cannot create handheld plugin ".

instead...

Could this be the reason my MC crashes after a successful iPod sync also?

Which I thought was a separate problem so did not mention, besides, it always seems to finish the sync correctly before crashing).

Hope this helps...

plopje · « **Reply #30 on:** January 15, 2004, 06:40:31 pm »

Same here. Now it shows: cannot create handheld plugin ".

Matt · « **Reply #31 on:** January 15, 2004, 06:43:50 pm »

Alright... we're getting closer.

Next build will either fix it or get us closer yet.

Thanks for the patience everyone.

Penfold · « **Reply #32 on:** January 15, 2004, 06:48:44 pm »

No probs,

Oh forgot to mention, this happens whether iPod is plugged in or not...

right I'm off to bed, nite all

plopje · « **Reply #33 on:** January 15, 2004, 06:53:26 pm »

Matt, I think I know which part of MC causes the problem or at least I have a work-around.

MC crashes when in Tools->Options the Media Insertion Action for Handheld is set to "Autosync" and a device (cd/dvd/handheld) is activated. Setting this option to "Nothing" resolves the problem.

bedessy · « **Reply #34 on:** January 16, 2004, 12:40:04 pm »

The last post is this the answer to this disable Auto-syc because I have MC 10.038 beta version but I have'nt been able to burn a cd since when I have 9.316 back in earley january and since update ing I forget what version before the 9.316 I tell you what, since the 9.1 versions I've had nothing but trouble, as far as trying to burn a cd . Trouble , Trouble ,and more trouble. Like I said before I have a register version of 10.038 now The last two or three days I when up 3-to-4 updates, but nun adressed the problems I'm have. I'm glad in a way that someone else could post on thiis problem beside me . I use to be a tenderfooter when I had 9.1 whaterver version Now I'm a Woodchucker and that's from all the way back in version 7 Mc

Penfold · « **Reply #35 on:** January 16, 2004, 05:38:37 pm »

Aye, I can confirm, if 'handheld' is set to 'nothing' then MC does not crash.

Have a good weekend all!

thanks for the tip . It stoped , Now I'll have work on 3D Visualzation it's Crashing MC also. in picture cube mode there's a plain white box floating around the screen instead on the cover art or a image for the song that's playing and if you mode's like to tunnel mode for example. The whole screen turn's white and blank,freezes and crash like the can't create pluging error. I posted this already we see what 'll become of this bug. But thanks again.

Snuffy2 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 18, 2004, 09:24:31 pm »

I'm having the same issues as described above as well -

Also see my closed thread:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=18581

I also periodically get a crash after synching my iPOD as well. Could these be related?

I'm not near my iPOD but will disabling AutoSync in the options prevent starting the Sync dialog of the iPOD when its plugged in & MC is running (it sounds like it would)?

So Handheld is set to Nothing for now, until this is resolved.

gpvillamil · « **Reply #38 on:** January 18, 2004, 11:49:25 pm »

I get a crash when attempting to burn a CD, sometimes with a message that says "initializing writer", sometimes nothing at all.

Trying to play DVDs causes a crash as described by Nila et. al.

JimH · « **Reply #39 on:** January 21, 2004, 08:33:38 am »

This may have been fixed in 10.0.041. Please try it.
