Problem with Random Videos

[sty151]

Hello,

I've noticed a problem when playing videos either random or all that after the first video is played the second and consecutive videos will be a black screen with audio. Exiting will bring me back to GameEx with picture. Jukebox does not have this problem. I adjusted the codec and screensaver settings but this didn't help. Is there something I can change, has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

What codec pack are you using? Can you skip manually to the next video, and does it still happen? Are they all the same kind of video encryption?

Thanks, I'm using ffdshow and yes when I force it to the next video it still happens. My music videos are all different codecs and file extensions. But, I tried on some TV show episodes that were all encoded the same way with the same results. Could you please try to play some videos randomly (or all) and see if you get the same results. I'm not sure when this started but I know at some point I didn't have this problem.

Hi.

I just tested and it works fine for me on windows 7.

Hi,

I have the same problem too.

First video play fine, but I get a black screen with audio only on the next video.

I'm on Windows 7 and I have an ATI Radeon card.

Any idea on what the problem could be?

(what are the keys to control the video while playing?)

Unfortunately, I haven't had time to diagnose this yet but the first thing I was going to do was to uninstall my ffdshow codec and try either the Vista Codec Pack or Sharks Codec Pack. They include ffdshow. Iâ??m not a big fan of codec packs but people around here seem to like them. Iâ??m not sure which one Tom uses. I'll try a couple of things tonight and report my results back here.

Is VMR/EVR turned on? I dont see any logs here

[yves31]

Hello,

I did some test yesterday. The vmr/evr was already enabled. I tried it disabled but still no success.

I tried to play the same video random list in wmp and it play fine.

Any idea on what I could try?

Did you end up trying the Shark007 codec pack?

[yves31]

In fact, I'm using CCCP codec

Should I try the shark one?

Yves

[Tempest]

It's worth a shot. Of course it requires no effort on my part.

[yves31]

I finally tried the shark codec but still no luck.

I'm not sure what to treid next...

Thanks anyway

Yves

[sty151]

I changed codecs without any luck either. After the first video I get audio no video if played by random or all. I can exit the video and get my video back. I'm also using Windows 7 and an ATI card. I've included my log and ini. I'd like to get this great feature back. Let me know if I can do anything else or what to change to fix it.

Thanks again,

I see that you have HideDesktop in Display settings enabled, maybe try setting that to NO.

I'm just guessing.

Any further guessing will be left to others.

[yves31]

Well, I did give a try to the hide desktop option but it still do the same problem.

I seem to be able to duplicate the issue now. Ill look at it shortly.

I assume that this must have been sarcasm?

[sty151]

HideDesktop on or off didn't change the problem. But when I set up the configuration to run minimized it played the next video with audio and video no problem. Hope this helps and let me know if I can test anything else out.

nah, different PC

[yves31]

I tried to run minimized as you did to see if it was going to work for me as well.

But I don't know where the option is.

Where is it?

Yves

[Tom Speirs]

It means running GameEx in a window as opposed to full screen. Under display settings.

[yves31]

I get the same result as sty151.

It works fine when it's not in fullscreen.

Yves

[sty151]

Update to 11.33 fixed this problem. Thanks for your help and the fast updates Tom.

Sty151

[yves31]

Works fine now since the update

Thanks Tom
