GAC Scheme and Playing Now

[esajesa]

Hi Ben,

I seem to have found a bug. With the MediaBridge I get an error whenever I try to refer to Playing Now, eg. when I'm doing a GAC scheme pointing at Playing Now.

I never had this problem when MediaBridge was JRMC though.

Cheers,
Jens

Ps. I had the same problem with both the 29th and the 17th of August releases.

So when trying to view playing now in a GAC, you get an error? What is the error you get?

[esajesa]

NR dies on me. Completely. On the PPC version it just kills the app in an instant, on the Win32 version a Windows error window comes up.

The thing is, I have setup a panel which I can use to browse the JRMC Media Library with, and if I go to the root it won't even find "Playing Now", so I'm not surprised it dies on me. So I guess it's either something different with the latest Remoteserver.dll or the drv_mediabridge.dll..

Are you sure you have the latest remoteserver.dll? Installing a new build of JRMC will overwrite it with an old one.

Are you sure it's not an error in your ccf? Try OpusNr as a test as that has GAC (Playlist tab) and I know it works. You will need to edit the GAC.Scheme path on the Playlist button on the 'macros\new panel' panel.

Yes, I have the latest remoteserver.dll and my ccf is correct, it worked before and I even tried a different one. The problem seem to be that either remoteserver.dll or drv_mediabridge.dll can't find "Playing Now" when I use it in the IR name:

MP.GACScheme,Playing Now;Set GAC Parent

It works perfectly if I point anywhere else, such as

MP.GACScheme,Media Library\Audio\Albums;Set GAC Parent

and it worked before I cleaned my registry and hence changed from the JRMC driver to the Mediabridge driver. I also reinstalled the Win32 client at the same time as I did this, so I assume the remoteserver.dll got written over at the same time, that's why I can't tell whether it's the driver or the remoteserver.dll that's not working. Unfortunately I can't find any old remoteserver.dll's on my computer after my latest harddrive crash, so I can't test it with an older version of remoteserver either.

[esajesa]

Correction, I just found an old version, the one dated 2004-02-22 and it works perfect. So it's definitely in the remoteserver.dll.

Cheers,
Jens

I'll take a look right now.

[esajesa]

Ben,

did you get anywhere with this?

[Ben S]

Yes sir. Found the problem and fixed it.

You'll see it in the next release.

[esajesa]

Excellent!!!!! When do you think I can expect the next release?

[Ben S]

Tonight! It's available!

[esajesa]

Works like a charm!!! I'm happy again!
