Title: Qythyx: library server problems
Post by: John Gateley on June 10, 2005, 12:00:38 pm

Qythyx - I cannot reproduce the mini-mode slider problem you are having. Which skin are you using?

Also, when MC tries to load a remote library and fails, it falls back to the library in use before (or maybe the default library, not sure). Did you delete this?

I'm using the Blade skin. I believe I tested this with other skins and had the same problem, but I'll double-check on Monday when I go back to work. BTW, one thing I forgot to mention was that I'm using re-encoding of the music (as MP3). That might be causing the problem.

As for the library, yes, I deleted the default...the only library I have defined is the Library Server one. I do realize that under this situation MC can't run and must close.  My concern is 1) it says you should reinstall MC, which is not the problem and 2) it crashes instead of closing properly.

I just confirmed thin problem with 290. I also confirmed that it only happens when the music is being reencoded. Finally, I also checked that the skin doesn't matter, it happens with all the mini-mode skins that I tried.

I can't reproduce the crash - it exits normally.

The language is a little confusing, but is intended to cover the more frequent case of a corrupt installation - we didn't anticipate deleting the default library.

Actually, you might be right here too. I'm not actually seeing any crash window, but I do have MS Visual Studio popping up a dialog asking if I want to debug the application. I suspect that if I didn't have VS installed then I would not see anything. This does imply that something is closing down not quite right, though.

I've got Visual Studio installed too - no debug window...

Is there any way I can debug this more and find out why/what error is getting thrown?

The error in the Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window says:

Code: [Select]

An unhandled win32 exception occurred in Media Center.exe [1316]
When I start the debugger it says:

Code: [Select]

Unhandled exception at 0x00000049 in Media Center.exe: 0xC0000005:
