ME 2.0 Official Bug Reports - Page 3

si2001 · 11-01-2003, 01:38 PM

I'm not sure if this has been covered of if anyone else is having similar problems but divx movies played in ME 2 have servere lip sync. If i play them in the windows desktop evironment they play perfectly. Even restarting doesnt sort this out it only seems to be when using ME. I have the latest released patches installed.

I've noticed this as well, but it is only when the control buttons are visible. Once the control buttons disapear everything syncs back up in very short order. Just let it play for a while and see if it doesn't sort itself out.

sound sync issues in divx movies are directly related to how far apart the keyframes are in the compressed stream. most divx movies will do this when you jump to different locations in the movie - just wait a bit and it should come back into sync. if you're resuming a divx movie from the main menu, it will do this as well. this is a function of the codec as far as i know and not a wmp or mediaengine specific problem, but i could be wrong.

WMP does a crap job of syncing. But from what I've experienced with ME 2 (no update yet for me) it plays back dandy.

I D/L M E.And cannot open the exe.hope this explains better

raajaxc - read the first post in this thread and follow the instructions. your picture although fun to look at tells me next to nothing about your problem. if you are unable to post an error report consisting of more than one complete sentence and without taking a screencap then don't bother posting it.

If you start AutoSync when the origin drive is not available (i.e. network mapped drive not connected), ME will exit and restart.
Sometimes the screen "Refreshing Database" stays forever. You have to kill ME processes using Task Manager then reloading it. It seems this happen when you have just made AutoSyncing.
Sometimes you can't turn up your volume more than 36% if you enable Safe Volume Resume. This option should start ME with a low volume but it shouldn't prevent the user to get it up.

I'll look at that.

Look at what version of mediaengine.exe you have. The last version we uploaded syncs the database at the same time it syncs files. I wasn't able to test this function out so there may be a problem with it.

The safe volume option doesn't prevent you from turning the volume up, it causes it to start @ 36% the first time you play music or movies (because they store volume levels independently).

Ok I know what safe volume option is meant to do, but tonight I was driving and I couldn't turn the volume up, I have muted and unmuted and it came back to 36%. So I turned up the head unit volume (it's nice what you can learn here, head unit in italy is called "autoradio" ...)
as a workaround. It seems that closing and reopening ME has addressed this.
Well I'll disable that option, however we should do more beta testing on it

Yes, you're several bugfix revisions behind.

BTW - beta testing happens prior to release. And trust me, the safe volume option has been tested thoroughly. File a complete bug report including any messages from your debug.log file and any other relevant info (requested in the first post of this thread) if you're still having issues after updating.

*Problem - I managed to hang Media Engine good an proper

*What type of input device - Mouse

*Fresh install of ME, Build the data base after setting the dirs. Start, go to browse media play MP3, go to home try movie - fail, back to browse media, select by acident a .mov file.. and bosh.

*Text from any error messages you might be seeing - Just hung, unable to grab any thing except even End task failed.

*Steps you've taken (if any) to resolve - Don't do that again...

*Lines from debug.log that may be relevant - See above

*Screen captures if absolutely necessary - See above

*Brief description of your pc config, speed, memory, os, etc - IBM Think Pad T20, XP SR1 all patches inc latest version of MMP. 256 Mb Mem.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this has been covered of if anyone else is having similar problems but when I click VIS button space. I get VIS working fine but when I Click BIS button again to return to MP3 part of media player my start menu is on screen. Not a real problem but still happens when it shouldn't

Also what program should I be re-directing the key maps to? Should it be WMP.exe or Media engine.exe or what? I need to know this for Girder IR to work cause at present I'm just passing the keymaps to the foreground window.

BTW keep up the hard work, your program is wicked.

To be on the safe side I tell you this is not affected by caps lock status, otherwise any key won't work.

What about NumLock? We've used the same keyboard code since 1.13, never had keys get 'forgotten' before. If you programmed volup / voldown to keys inside your 10-key pad, and then NumLock got turned off you'd have the same problem.

See what above? Because m/e hung doesn't necessarily mean nothing was written to your debug.log file.

Although you did make an effort, I still have to give you an F on your bug report. Reason: no version numbers. ;-)

Seriously, you might try playing the movie you said 'failed' first in WMP (outside of MediaEngine) and see if you have the necessary codecs installed. You also didn't specify what type of file that was. If the quicktime movie you attempted to play was something compressed with recent quicktime codecs, WMP won't be able to play that either. Wish we knew how to tell if WMP has errored out looking for codecs. Anyone have ideas?

Well it was late... The answer to that would be no I don't have the right codecs for WMP but I do have Quicktime installed... Any way it was more a 'Dont do it this way every one msg' ..

An F - Well its an improvment from what I used to get - LOL ( Sit with big cheesy grin remembering getting told i'd never amount to any thing - then thinking about what I am doing now..... ) lol.

well it seems to be a CapsLock related problem. Unfortunately this keypad doesn't have a Capslock LED. I'll check it out and set the bios option accordingly.
It could be a nice idea to support Capslock status, you can make 2nd function like scientific calculators...

I really don't think it's a capslock related issue, but maybe numlock. Capslock doesn't change the keycode that we get and store in your kb.ini file, if I recall correctly.

I doubt we'll support any kind of shifted button feature for keyboard input, it's not an extremely popular input device for dedicated carPCs.

nicgalla · 11-21-2003, 04:52 AM

D'oh! well I know that most used input device is touchscreen, but believe me, small LCD screens w/ touchscreen are quite rare and very very expensive at least in Italy.
There is a italian reseller who has the famous Xenarc monitors but they cost near 600 euros which is more than what you spend for every other components...

Yeah I was wrong, I was referring to Numlock... capslock is totally another thing :|
