Problems with videoclips

These days I'm in the process to extend my GameEx experience to its full possibilities using html applications, youtube, videoclips, etc... I can see images, read e-books, listen to the music, only videos and html apps are affected. I started using GameEx since v11.50 and I had the same problems from the beginning, and this led me to avoid using these functions and concentrate myself in build up my emulators and romsets.

Maybe these problems are not directly GameEx related, maybe it's a matter of damn codecs or special system configuration... I remember that a lot of people had these kind of issues in the past.

Basically, here is what happens: I launch an html app (for example the browser to read this forum), or a you tube video, or a videoclip from my collection. I can see them without problems. The second time I try to launch an html app, a youtube video or avideoclip, the screen remains black but I can return back to the main interface with the back button. The third time I try to launch one of those stuff, GameEx crashes.

I hope someone can have tips with this issue, I'm very sorry I can't manage to get these stuff working correctly.

These are my specs:

Windows XP SP3 updated

ATI video card (mobility radeon X700)

K-Lite codec pack

Here is my log:

It was working great for me, but I updated to Windows 7 a few builds ago. With the exception of the past 3 weeks these issues were completely fixed for me. I can't say for sure if the issue hadn't resurfaced, since I updated my OS when the mobo fried out on my cab.

I do use GameEx with XP SP3 on my dev machine however, but I mostly use it for testing themes and haven't needed it for web based stuff. When I get off work I'd be happy to test this again though.

Don't worry AlphaUMI. I've been down this very path before. I'm sure it will be resolved quickly. :)

Well...

I ran GameEx and it does all these things fine for me. I can watch YouTube videos, videos over the network, surf the net, the weather page works, I even tested GameEx arcade. I tried each several times as AlphaUMi suggested, and there's nothing wrong for me. It's flawless.

The only thing I encountered was this while watching videos encoded in mp4, and this does not happen while watching videos using WMP:

That may be the codec pack on the test machine. It doesn't do it on my W7 machine. The point here is that videos play, no problem.

I am using the default 'Media Center' theme.

A quick note though... The startup screen (gameexisloading.png) displays on the XP machine, but is still absent on my W7 machine. *puzzled*

@Alpha: Can you do me a favor and make sure your Direct X and video card drivers are updated/current please?

The latest version of DirectX for XP - SP3 is 9.0c 4.09.00.0904 (RC0).

Uh... I found this. The page reports v 9.29.1974, released on 18/04/2011. I need definitely and update, regardless of GameEx.

Thanks for assisting me guys, I will check a couple of things with the frontend and soon I let you know.

The DirectX Runtime version and the DirectX version that gets installed are two separate things. The runtime will install the updates for latest DirectX version written for the respective Windows OS. The runtime package is usually an update provided for systems that are not connected to the internet as DirectX is included with the OS. INstalling the updates will certainly not hurt anything and if one of the updates is corrupt, may help.

Thanks Draco, I learned something more today.

But guess waht? I had the latest version already installed... In fact dxdiag says I have version 4.09.0000.0904.

My video drivers are the most up-do-date for my old graphic card. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon X700, and I can play PC games released until 2008-2009 with no problems. I already checked it, newer version of the Catalyst are not supported by my X700.

Third point: I use K-Lite codec pack. Could this be the reason causing the crash? I'm not sure, since GameExtender Viewer causes GameEx to crash and it's not codec related. My external player works very fine.. we should to know how GamEx interacts with codecs...

Strange. I will continue troubleshooting the issue, please continue supporting me.

I want to say thanks to all you highly estimated people, from Tom to the occasional user. This is a great community.

Though, my chances of resolving this issue are going disappear. What else we could try?

Tough to say. I hate to say it but it may be time to invest in a new gfx card friend. Can you tell me if GameEx Arcade works for you or not so we can eliminate the flash player?

Thanks in your interest, Adultery.

Yes, I tried GameEx Arcade... a wonderful thing, I would add. Your question give me the opportunity to tell my story with GameEx Arcade:

First time I updated GameEx with Arcade feature enabled, I noticed that the led of my external drive (where GameEx resides) wasn't stopping to "flash" (if I can say so), indicating that a write\read activity was in process. This activity lasted tooooooo long to wait... Obviously I linked this activity to the new introduced feature, and so I waited imagining that GameEx was downloading something like a database or something else...

Well, answering to your question, some games plays, some don't. I haven't found a criteria in this, but I can do some testing if you want.

And... guess what happens when I pick up a game that doesn't work? The screen remains black, but GameEx is not freezed. I return to the Arcade menu and pick up another game. Well, whatever game I choose, this second time GameEx crashes. But some games just don't work. Some others do.

What can we argue from all this stuff?

You may want to try the Shark007 Codec Pack instead of K-Lite. Try uninstalling K-Lite and give Shark007 a try. Another video card may be in your future as well, but this is worth a shot.

That seems more like a Flash issue to me. Can you go to adobe's website via Internet Explorer and update your flash player to 10.3 please? I'm willing to bet that's the issue. This might also solve the issue with YouTube videos as well.

.:EDIT:. If you do what Drac suggested, make sure you uninstall K-Lite first, then restart before installing Shark007's Vista Codec Pack.

@Adultery: I already have the latest Flash Player installed (10.3.183.5).

@Draco: But aren't Shark007 Codecs only for Vista\7? I'm running XP....

No, Shark007's codec packs add Vista codecs to XP. :)

Can you try one of the games that doesn't work in GameEx on arcade.gameex.com and see if it works in your browser?

Ok Adultery, here is my report, read it carefully because it is very interesting:

With internet explorer, I was able to browse and have games loaded, no problems at all (I remember you I have IE8, since it is the last version available for XP). But with the browser no problem, except for "Extreme Heli Boarding", that did'n want to load... but it has been an exception between 12 games or so... [Note: after "Extreme Heli Boarding" not loading, I loaded "Battlefieldgeneral", and it loaded correctly, hence I argue it's not related with this topic].

And I found that the numerical keys do not work correctly if you have to jump in a certain part of the list: for example, il I press 'A' on the keyboard, I have the list with all the files starting with 'A', and so on... But the same didn't happened with arcade, where pressing a mumerical key (1-9) leads to jumping to wrong locations in the list. But anyway...

Then I returned to GameExArcade (in GameEx), and here I can confirm that the chain consequence is always the same. I performed a vast range of trials, but I think the following will explain enough about the situation:

1. I load a game (previously loaded successfully in IE), and It loads fine. In my case I tried with 3d motorcycle racing, -Wordsmith-, Yang Long Legend, Extreme Heli Boarding, and A-Bot. The first time I load each of these games all is good.

2. The second time I have a black screen. I mean: I loaded game1 the first time, I load the same game immediately after... and I have a black screen.

3. I load the same damn game a third time and I have a crash.

Just to be clear: if I keep loading the same game, the first time it loads, the second time I have a black screen, the third time GameEx immediately crashes.

This is the log of the last game I've tried to load:

P.S. Why GameExArcade isn't cited in the log? Maybe it has to be implemented in the debug system yet...

P.P.S.: Thanks for your assistance, you are great persons! I appreciate it very much, sincerely.

P.P.P.S: Another thought: Is my video card (which is starting to be in my opinion the main culprit of this issue) so old that I can play Half Life 2 and Oblivion, which I'm actually playing, and, on the other side, I'm not able to see two videos consecutively?

But, I'm not giving up: Next step, I'll try Shark codecs and let you see what happens.

Man I'm stumped on this one. It almost certainly needs attention from someone higher up than me. I can't think of anything else to suggest other than Shark007 codecs but I don't feel like thay will fix this issue. I suppose we'll have to see.

Thanks anyway, I appreciated your support sooooo much! We can't mark this as [RESOLVED] but... we'll see. Who knows? :)

This one has me "by the short hairs" as well. The only thing besides codecs if nobody can replicate would be the video card, however, I find it difficult to reason why now after all of this time if it had been working fine before? I know that there have been some issues with older Radeon cards, but I thought we got most of those ironed out (either that or the cards had been upgraded and the issue resolved accordingly).
