COM Interface Problem
« on: November 17, 2005, 02:45:31 am »

If you use MC 11.0.303 or higher with NetRemote Mediabridge MC always crashes when it's closed by MediaBridge.  The problem does not occur with MC build 11.0.302.  Promixis have been unable to help because they believe the problem is with the MC COM interface.  I'd like to upgrade to 11.1 but can't until this issue is resolved. 

To recreate install NR/MediaBridge and tell MB that your default player is MC.  Then open MB, which automatically opens MC.  Then close MB, which automatically closes MC and MC crashes.

Any chance of a fix?

Using the latest MC 11.1, I can't make this out-of-proc code cause a crash: (this starts and stops MC)

IMJAutomationPtr pMJ;

HRESULT hr = pMJ.GetActiveObject (L"MediaJukebox Application");
if (hr != S_OK)
    pMJ.CreateInstance(L"MediaJukebox Application");

pMJ.Release();

Is there more to the equation, like a certain plugin running or certain API calls made by NetRemote?

Thanks.

Ben has just tried 11.1.59 and reckons the problem has now gone away so I'll try it this weekend.  Thanks for investigating Matt.
