Can't install plugins in MC12
« on: August 12, 2006, 03:27:59 am »
Every plugin I try to install I get the following error message:

Failed to open destination file:(http://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/xxxxx.zip)

BTW: There's no selection for MC12 on the plugin page yet. (I have 11 selected), I only have MC12 running.

Doof reported problems aquiring the mp3 plugin too. It's most likely a website bug.
Does the flac plugin (see a few threads below this one) install for you? It lives in a different place on the web.

I just installed the DirectX Host plug-in to test.  It worked.  I did it from IE.  It's on the DSP page.

Can you try it?

We've seen several other similar problems lately that may be related to something other than MC.

Hi there,


I've happily installed my first 12.0 version of Media Center. Wow, starting with 7.0 it seems I've gone down the way with you guys since a while ...

Anyway, I can not install any plug-ins. I've tried to install the MP3 Encoder, but no luck. Manually I could not even find it on the website.

I've tried the DX plug-in now, installing it from the website, but please look at the attached screenshot and you'll see what it does ... nothing good. Oh, seems I can't add a screenshot, so this is the error message I receive:
Failed to open desitnation file: (fttp://accessories.musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/186.zip)

The message for the MP3 Encoder is the same, except the file name is different.

How can I install an MP3 Encoder? I would love to start encoding with MC 12 after grabbing out some old CDs and coming back from Tokyo with new J-Pop.


Best regards,

Mighty A-MAN

Re-installed DirectX from MS. Also did a Windows update.

Tried to install a few plugins with the same result as first posted.

I did finally get the flac plugin installed last week, but it was a real PITA.

MC12.0.54 shows these warnings after an MP3 encoder download attempt:

Quote
Failed to open destination file.(http://musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/lamemp3encoder.mjp)
and
Quote
Invalid package file. Cannot continue.
File: http://musicex.com/mediacenter/mc_data/plugins/lamemp3encoder.mjp


MC12.0.53 can download and install this package without problems. I installed and tried both MC versions twice. The displayed url seems to be valid.

I can confirm Alex' observation.

I installed v.52 (didn't have .53) and had no trouble installing plugins from JRiver. Problem is with build .54.

MC12 installs it when you need it.  It isn't available for separate download.

Correction. MC12 TRIES to install it when needed. The result is the error messages I and others have reported.
