Video in Freeway

**ddarind** · 09-01-2006, 03:25 PM

Is the video part of the app working? I have downloaded, installed and config FW. Music plays fine and when I go to video I see a list of the videos in the folder I pointed to in the ini file. I can play the videos (divx.) I get sound but no picture. The screen just stays on the list of videos. Is video working for anybody? I would also like to use dual screen for video and have the video play on the second display. Thanks

Yes, video is working.

Which version of Winamp are you using, and do you have any third-party plugins?

Newest version of Winamp running in classic mode. I have other frontends loaded. And my videos play in other apps, but in Winamp I only have sound and no video. So, maybe my problem is with Winamp?

I had this issue also... all i did was click back and forth on teh eye.. and somtimes it worked and sometimes it didnt.

Are you using any video plugins to handle special files? If so, try disabling those plugins and try again.

If not and you are using build 127, please download this file and replace your current Freeway.exe with it.

Not sure what Plug-in you mean? I have Codec’s load to play files. I have Divx installed. I can not play divx or mp4 in winamp, just get a film icon in the video window. I can play an AVI file in Winamp. When I play the same AVI file in FW i get nothing at first, but if I click on the desktop anywhere and then click back on FW, I might get an image. But when I do get an image, it flickers. These files all play in other apps. I tried the DVD and it played and I could see the video in the main screen. I put the video in full screen then not knowing how to get back to the menus; I just double clicked on the video. That caused a runtime error.

I am willing to try anything that might help. FYI I have not installed in my Car yet. Just using my Desktop and it is set for a very large res.

I will try my Car PC on Sat and see how it works.
Do you have or plan to have dual monitor support? I can not have video playing on my main screen when driving; I want all video to play on 2nd monitor.
Thanks, Darin

I'm not sure if you've been reading my posts. Have you tried build 128?

**ddarind** · 09-02-2006, 11:03 AM

Sorry, Yes I have been using build 128.

Anyone fix this? I have the same problem. I tried using build 127, 128, 129. Stock winamp.

Edit: I updated the video codec's and it worked.

make sure you dont have the lite version of winamp, make sure its a version after that, lite doesn't have video playback option, other front ends use diff video playback software like mplayer so that's why some other frontends do work, hope this helps
