TV Advert does not play on one emulator

[wahoo]

For other emulators in my configuration TV Advert videos do play. For one emulator all TV Adverts do not play. A blank screen displays for a second and returns to the menu without playing.

I have verified the following:

TVAdPath is valid

The video file plays outside of GameEx when double clicking on the video file

To eliminate a codec issue, I copied a TV ad video file from another emulator that does play to the TVAdPath directory for the emulator that does not play. I made sure the name of the file that does play from the other emulator was renamed to match the name of the file that did not play. I did not change the extension of the files when renaming. The files are all .mp4. The same file that plays successfully for the other emulator does not play for this emulator!

I have attached the log and config. The emulator that is having the issue playing TV Adverts is [emulator_67] Atari Lynx

GameEx_ini_.txt

Hi wahoo

Certainly a weird issue. Just out of curiosity, what happens if you reverse your previous test? Take one of the non-working ads for Atari Lynx and place it in the TVAdPath directory of an emulator that does play the Ads properly (with whatever renaming needs to happen). Does that cause the Lynx ad to play properly by any chance?

[wahoo]

Good idea nullPointer. Per your suggestion I just did that test. The video advert file that would not play from one emulator was copied to the other emulator and renamed and it played!

More info:

This issue is happening on two computers. On another computer TV Ads work for other emulators but not for Atari Lynx [emulator_67] . The two computers both have drive X: mapped to a share with all emulator content. X:\ROMS and X:\assets. Both have the same gameex.ini.

Forgot to mention that I have already tried to delete the cache files for emulator_67

Even more info:

This is happening on more than just one emulator. From my config this issue is also happening with:

Atari Jaguar

Matell Intellivision

Nintendo Game Boy

Nintendo Game Boy Color

Nintendo Virtual Boy

Sega Game Gear

[wahoo]

I notice now that this is actually happening with several but not all emulators. All TV Adverts for both working and non working emulators were downloaded from the same source: EmuMovies. All TV advert files for both working and non working emulators play ok outside GameEx
