epic69 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I have Windows XP and Direct X 9.0c installed. Lastest version of GameEx installed. Video previews and music play in GameEx when selected on song, but when launched screen goes blank and then can hear the mp3 playing No Video showing lyrics. If I double click a .cdg file in my Karaoke folder Media Player launches and it looks fine. I have tried WmpFull also to eliminate an issue with Windows media player and same issue. I am not sure what else to try. Have installed LavFilters also and no changes. Looking for suggestions on what to check next.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The log.txt file should be immediately after the error occurred. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 GameEx is no longer tested on Windows XP but I wil take a look on windows 10 later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic69 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Here is the log file. Karaoke launches no video, I can hear sound starting then exits back to gameex.log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Would like to look at your gameex.ini file as well. However, the error "Unable to open video Hook" may be pointing to an codecs issue, despite the LAV codecs being installed. Have you tried the Shark007 codecs for XP or any other compatible codec packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epic69 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 No I haven't tried shark007 codec pack. I don't have internet access on the gameex machine where I want this karaoke to work so when I try installing Shark007 codec pack the install doesn't succeed. Point me in the direction of a good set of codec's that's not loaded with malware and i'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Most any should work. K-Lite is fairly popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic69 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 Ok downloaded and installed Klite for xp. After restarting PC now the preview videos in GameEx are garbled up and the karaoke still doesn't play the video. Not sure what to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Uninstall the codecs then to see if the video straighten out. Some of the codecs require making adjustments. This is a hard one for us to replicate as many of us have moved on well beyond XP and there are a number of things that may break it that can't be fixed because the OS is no longer supported by MS.
