Hi,

I went from 23 to 24 today... Easy install but ...in 23, Theatre View worked fine...but with Version 24.0.72(64bit) when I try to use theatre view I get the error message,
ERROR STARTING OPEN GL ENGINE (LOADING OPEN GL SHADERS FAILED). >: ( My first instinct was to update the drivers on my Graphics card. I did that, nothing.
Has anyone encountered this? It's not super critical for listening of course but I did use theatre view and found it a compelling little extra when I try to convince people of the
merits of JRiver...

thanks,

Can you post a log file?

Unfortunately, thats not a usable log package.

Please follow the steps exactly:
1.) Enable Logging (Help -> Logging, Check "Output to a log file")
2.) Reproduce the problem (ie. Try opening Theater View)
3.) Create a Log Package (Help -> Logging, Click "Report problem..."
4.) Attach the full ZIP file it generates here.

The files you uploaded are unfortunately not quite helpful yet.

Apologies for the previous log....

thank you for following up,

Unfortunately the log is still almost empty. Did you open Theater View after enabling logging?
Also, don't restart Media Center in-between any of the steps. You should be able to exist Theater View even in its "broken" state by pressing "Esc" a few times.

OK,

I think I got it now,

Thanks, the log looks useful. I'll look into it.

I wish I could understand it !

thank you,

I've send you a Personal Message with a test version to use for some extra information

Here is the latest zip file... after I reloaded version 24.

BTW, I reloaded 23 and Theatre view works.... with 24.0.72...not so much.

thank you,

To keep this thread updated, I'm currently trying to dig up some old hardware based on the same graphics chip, so hopefully I'll be able to see something then.

thank you Hendrik...I am away from my rig but can still connect to the web.

Hendrik · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2019, 11:52:15 am »

I found the reason for the problem, and we'll include a fix in future builds of Media Center.

mikeintheaerie · « **Reply #14 on:** February 01, 2019, 12:04:03 pm »

thank you Hendrik,

I look forward to the fix since I use the feature a lot to impress friends and bring them into the JRiver world. I suspect I am not the only one who does that! Will it be part of the V25 update?

Hendrik · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2019, 12:05:29 pm »

Definitely be part of 25. We'll see if I can also squeeze it into a MC24 build still.

great!

I have the same error message from MC24 (32bits) to MC25 (64bits).

First of all, you should have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed. If thats not the case, you should do that.

Additionally, can you install this Windows Update and see if it works then?

JIM82 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2019, 06:13:46 pm »

I have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed.
Issue resolved with the Windows update.

Thank you

Hendrik · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2019, 06:22:03 pm »

Cool.
For what its worth, I think Windows Update should deliver that update automatically to every system keeping up-to-date, so either I'm misinformed about that, or did you not install available updates? Just trying to figure out where my information stands.

JIM82 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2019, 06:33:31 pm »

It's a specific and old version of windows 7 pro named "Arium".
