LAV settings

[babgvant 143]

babgvant - when you see this, he started out asking for lav settings in the beginning of the thread, but the root issue is actually the long delay when playing as well some failures in the log.

 

It's possible that LAV isn't downloading properly (which would cause a long delay).

[Luke 37116]

Please try deleting the COMObjects folder in the MBT config folder. MBT should download LAV (and all the filters it needs) automatically. There maybe an issue with the updating process (it's hard to test all the permutations).

 

maybe if it's failing to overwrite we could name the folder with the com objects version, e.g. comObjects1.3.4....then after the new ones are downloaded try to cleanup the old ones. if it fails, worst case scenario is extra files left behind, but at least the new ones will still be there and available

 

just an idea, this might not be the actual problem

[Luke 37116]

right, it must be failing for him for some reason and then retrying over and over

[babgvant 143]

What Luke is saying, in a not so diplomatic way, is that most of the LAV configuration settings are found in the MBT settings section. When you change the settings in MBT, what you are actually doing is changing the underlying LAV settings. I'm not a fan of hiding LAV configuration from the user, it confuses most who are familiar with LAV, it is not all inclusive & sometimes the changes don't "stick."

 

In my opinion, LAV should remain a stand alone installation.

 

I understand this perspective, but in my experience it is unsupportable. What version is the user running? How is it setup? What other cruft is joining the graph?

 

If you have a compelling argument for why/how it is better for the majority of users to have to maintain the DS ecosystem please share it.

[Luke 37116]

Yea, babgvant is right. We made a team decision about this. There are always going to be power users who prefer to use their own LAV and we understand that, but the vast majority of people just want to be able to watch their movies and aren't really worried about it.

 

Just look at what Ebr has to deal with with MBC, since windows media center relies on system installed codecs - "I installed xyz codec pack and now MBC is broken.". We don't want to have to deal with that anymore.

ive tried deleting the COMObjects folder with no change

[babgvant 143]

maybe if it's failing to overwrite we could name the folder with the com objects version, e.g. comObjects1.3.4....then after the new ones are downloaded try to cleanup the old ones. if it fails, worst case scenario is extra files left behind, but at least the new ones will still be there and available

 

just an idea, this might not be the actual problem

 

There are scenarios where MBT could get into a race while updating the components, but restarting should resolve that. I'll have to think on it a bit.

 

If deleting the COMObjects folder fixes the problem, then I'll have something to go on. If it doesn't, the files DL properly and the issue persists it could be a system specific issue.

[babgvant 143]

ive tried deleting the COMObjects folder with no change

 

Does it recreate itself with subfolders for each filter containing dlls/ax/etc when MBT starts?

[Luke 37116]

I think one of the main reasons this thread has taken so long to get you help is the reported information isnt very useful. So unfortunately, "no change" doesn't really help us diagnose. The result on screen could be something different, but for all we know it's a new problem now.

if you regsvr32 lavvideo.ax from an admin command prompt does it regsister properly? If so, can you load the filter to a graph in GraphStudioNext?

Can you load LAVVideo in GraphStudioNext?

 

Look for anything indicating an error/warning, if there isn't one then nothing is getting logged.

[Jasoon 9]

I could only load LAVVideo in GraphStudioNext when I install LAV as a stand alone instilation

[Jasoon 9]

if I try and manually add LAVVideo in GraphStudioNext I get an error No CLSID provided

[babgvant 143]

if I try and manually add LAVVideo in GraphStudioNext I get an error No CLSID provided

 

So LAV is registered (you can see it in the DS filter list in GSN), but when you try to add it GSN gives that error?

[Jasoon 9]

the only way to get it in the DS filter list was to do a stand alone install of LAV, when I direct it to the one in MBT I get the No CLSID provided error in GSN
