Which visualization are you running? Is it custom?

i tried it with different (standard) visualizations (like Collage/Clean-n-Tidy & Tabby/atomic peacock).

The visualizations works in MC... only the ActiveX component (IE7) throws this error.

btw. the result looks different (logo, artist & song information)

visualization: Collage/Clean-n-Tidy

1.) start playback (eg. a mp3 file) and choose a Vis in JR (playing now)

2.) open this site (with IE6 or 7):
http://freenet-homepage.de/Messiahs/html/viserror.html

or
copy & paste this code to a local html file (xxx.html) and open it with IE6 or 7.

i removed .410 on one pc and made a fallback to .318 (nothing else changed) and everything is ok.

It shouldn't crash, I'll fix that tomorrow.

But: why are you running this direct from Internet Explorer? We didn't really plan for this to happen...

I like where (s?)he's going with this though...

We never anticipated this though, and I made a change a few days ago (when I was updating the SDKs) that made it impossible for what Messiahs is doing to work. I can prevent the crash, but it's not going to display. If you want this to work then I need some convincing reasons why. (The technical details: linking the visualization against a static library or querying the running MC for an interface. We are using the latter, and IE has no concept of "the running MC").

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but TrackInfo also uses IE to display and with the latest SDK Update it isn't possible to embed a Vis in the TrackInfo-Templates anymore.

Have you noticed this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=43402.0 ?

If I have understood correctly Messiahs is trying to add vizualizations to his nice "remote controller".

that's right, but the first reason was 'only' a demo to show how powerful MC is.
the next reason was my remote server (ok here it is not so essential) and last but not least a "fullscreen & visualized" TrackInfo Template.

But when this feature is gone... i have to live with it.
