I'm looking forward to a big event next weekend. I'm going to use MC for music (as I do for years now). But I need the possibility to use a TrackInfo-Page showing an integrated visualization. I want the guests to know what dance they could (should) do for a playing song and how long it still plays. Worked fine till MC15.0.80.

Now: is there anyone out there who could help me out with the last Version of MC15 prior MC15.0.80 or (which would be even better ) can give me a hint of how I could this thing get working again...?! Or is it impossible to get this working with a current Version of MC15? You can take a look at the trackinfo page here.

Thanks!

edit: link corrected

The way that MC and COM work has been changed, and this is part of the fallout unfortunately. There is no work around.

I'll PM a download link for build 79 in a minute or two...

Actually, I got that a little bit wrong, vizualisations were changed from COM to C++ interfaces, and that's why they no longer work inside track info templates...

PM sent.

The integration of C++ interfaces into track info templates is impossible?!

Thanks for the file! I got it!

You're welcome.

Back in July, Matt said:

I should add a disclaimer that embedding 2D visualizations in Track Info pages is no longer possible.

IE can show COM controls and 2D visualizations used to be a COM control.

Now visualizations are C++ interfaces like all other plugins (except interface plugins).  There is no easy way to inject a C++ interface into IE, without making a COM wrapper.  Even then, piping the data (since Media Center didn't create the interface directly) is difficult.

Hopefully this won't be too big a deal to anyone.

Ok, got it. Thanks for supporting me!!
