[Zoom player]Just crashes on skip...

[Ron]

Adding parameters to the execute action, that is a recurring question on this forum. :wink:

Put the parameters in the "step size" box.

Is there also a solution to check the file type on the cd without batch file ? . Now I'm using a batch file with if exist *.avi goto zoom to start zoomplayer.

I've not test skipping to next movie yet (most CD's I have only contain 1 MPEG4 file), but when I eject the CD while Zoomplayer is playing it also hangs (very frustrating if you use Girder to control the PC). Could you check if you have the same problem ? (I will check skip to next movie)

Hi,

I've checked with 2 files on the hard disk which worked without any problems (I assume with skip you mean next track). Also going back was working fine, but I'm using Creatives SBlive and no Terratec.

I'm trying Zoom player now in stead of BSPlayer becasue I can easily place all movie files on a disc into the playlist.

I've created a batch file wich is triggered by Girder to launch Zoom player:

@echo off
zplayer.exe G:*.* /F /Q

I did this because Girder can't sent command line parameters using the execute action!?!

another problem is that zplayer just crashes _everytime_ I skip to the next movie, even if I start Zoom by hand, add the CD-rom files by hand and have WinLIRC, Girder, Matrox Powerdesk, MSN messenger etc closed...

Anyone knows about this prolem? know solutions etc?

[MpegErnie]

heh, I gues I could have used the search for that hmmm? sorry I didn't even bother to.. :grin:

Anyway, about the real topic, I've continued it at forum.inmatrix.com -> zoomplayer
seems to be some problem with my TerraTec Xfire software.. :?

well I could check ofcourse.
The crash on the skip to the second file hase been solved. Look at forum.inmmatrix.com for details. I contacted Blight from inmatrix this night on IRC and we tried some things. Since someone else also had the prblem it seemed related to our soundcard ( a terratec).

Now it appears our directsound drivers are fucked up. add a line to you zplayer.filters to bypass directsound and go directly to wavout and it works fine.

I was also thinking to use the ceck but then I would have to create a dozen of them, on for avi, mpg, mpeg, asf etc (or can I condens this?)

For now I just make shure there are movie clips on the CD

If you use SB there shouldn't be any problem. It's just that on "next track" zoom player tries to release the directsound drivers and beacuse they are fucked up ZP crashes. But thats only when I use the Terratec drivers, the MS drivers work fine.

And when I eject while playing I just get this error "no disk". ZP doesn't hang or something. I suggest you make a multicommand which stops ZP before ejecting the disk, or on which stops ZP immediatly on an eject (using the device notify plug). Maybe that'll help.
