Visualization problem
« on: April 04, 2005, 04:59:11 am »

Occasionally, for no apparent reason, I get a Media Core error with this build. Sometimes it is when pressing F11 to switch into fullscreen mode (G-Force visualization), other times it is when switching views.

Restarting MC11 after a crash like this takes a LOOOOONG time with lots of disk thrashing.

[Update] After all the thrashing, when MC11 came up, all the visualizations were gone from the menu in Playing Now. Only Cover Art was available. I usually also have Tabby's visis, G-Force and Whitecap installed.

I had this same thing happen in an earlier build. The only way I could restore my visualizations was to reinstall MC. I think the culprit turned out to be White Cap (another viz by Soundspectrum) but there have been some others with G-Force issues as well. Make sure you're using the latest version of G-Force (go ahead and download it from the site even if you think you're sure you have it) and see if that helps.

Beware that reinstalling wipes out all visis and reinstalls only the MC bundled ones. Always backup Tabbys first.

This is now 100% repeatable for me. Switching to full-screen via F11 if I am not already in Playing Now causes a crash. Then restarting MC11 takes forever.
