Audio Problem

**Modab** · February 19, 2006

First off, thanks so much for this awesome program. Was randomly looking for a good MAME frontend after being out of the scene for a couple years, and a lucky search brought me to your system. Fantastic! I was even more surprised when it turned out to be a decent media front for movies and music and other emulators. I finally have something to put on my TV that does it all.

I've been spending most of today getting things together with the system, reading older forum posts, figuring out the best settings for TV-out, attaching it to zsnes, making my joysticks work...

anyway, my main current problem is I can't seem to get it to find my music. I was going to bypass the Windows Media Player settings so that I could have it get my mapped network drive which has all my roommates albums. But nothing is showing up!

I'm trying to narrow down the problem, so right now under Audio Settings I have:

JukeBox Mode: File Audio Tags

Jukebox PlayList: (blank)

Audio Files (If not Media Player):C:\test

And I'm Currently running 5.71

my "C:\test" folder has a couple .flac, and a couple .mp3 files, but nothing shows up.

I am checking the log file, and the suspicious part that pops up is:

Error accessing Windows Media Player, check you are running Version 9 orelse above

I looked through the forums, and couldn't find a similar error talked about before. I have Windows Media Player 10, but I thought I was bypassing that mode anyway based on my configuration settings.

Any suggestions anybody?

Thanks much!

I have the very same problem and i sure feel like a retard, cos i havent been able to figure this one out, after tom himself replied to me in another thread.

I cant find any music with (GameEx 5.70) either, although my F:\mp3 folder has a massive collection of music.

Hi,

These issues should be fixed 5.72 just released. Go grab it.

**Raitsa** · February 20, 2006

Thank you Tom for all your work & help but I am sad to report, still no go with 5.72.

How about you Modab?

I won't be home for another 10 hours, but I'll test it as soon as I get back.

Can you look in the GameEx data directory and delete the two files JukeboxData.dat and Jukeboxfiles.dat

**Raitsa** · February 20, 2006

Hey Tom, deleted both files, no help. Moved some songs to from external hdd F: to the harddrive C:, but that was no help either.

Have deleted the jukebox datfiles a couple of times after trying everything i can think of.

No go.

**Modab** · February 21, 2006

No luck on my end either.

The exact steps I took:

Uninstalled 5.71

Deleted GameEx directory

downloaded/installed 5.72

Launched Configuration

Changed Jukeboxmode to File Audio Tags

Changed Audio Files directory to C:\test, where there are 3 mp3 files and 1 flac file.

Launched GameEx

went to Jukebox, nothing found.

deleted JukeboxData.dat and Jukeboxfiles.dat afterwards, launched again, still nothing found.

When I check my log file, I still get this message

18:28:17.7 2/20/2006: Error accessing Windows Media Player, check you are running Version 9 orelse above

18:28:17.7 2/20/2006: Turning off Jukebox

Let me know if I can help in any other way. I have XP/SP2, GameEx sound effects play when I launch it, I can launch WMP10 standalone just fine.

**Tom Speirs** · February 21, 2006

Please replace gameex.exe with the attached debug version, and post the log after loading the jukebox.

Thanks.

GameEx.zip

**Modab** · February 22, 2006

well this sucks, but I can't run your modified gameex.exe file. The application generates an exception before it launches anything.

downloaded the 7.53 version, but that didn't help either.

I notice that the original GameEx.exe filesize is 804 KB, but the attached GameEx.exe is only 184 KB. That sounds fishy to me.

**Raitsa** · February 22, 2006

Modab took the words right off my mouth, exact same probs encountered with the debug version here.

Maybe the file did not upload properly. Try this one.

**Raitsa** · February 22, 2006

Now the debug file had the right size, here comes the log.

You uploaded the wrong file. Please upload Gameex\log\log.txt

Hmm, gets to

Init Juke Playlist: 47

before crashing out.

**Modab** · February 23, 2006

And here's my log file now I'm home.

**CrispyXUK** · February 23, 2006

here is mine

**Tom Speirs** · February 24, 2006

Hi all,

I've not got any decent logs here. Please zip the log before posting and make sure you try to load the jukebox.

Please try again.

Thanks,

Tom.

**Modab** · February 24, 2006

That's exactly what I did. I downloaded it to make sure, and it works/unzips just fine into a log.txt

Here it is again.

And yes, I loaded the jukebox. Just do a search for "Error" in the logfile.

I could read Raitsa's text just fine, that's why I pointed out

Hmm, gets to

before crashing out.

Here is to hoping it helps out figuring what going wrong.
