Bug & Issue Collection

[timme]

Hello,

since a lot of issues are not going to be worth a full thread, let's collect all that isn't working properly yet in here. Try and keep your posts up to date so fixed/solved stuff doesn't clutter this thread up. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR WINDOWS VERSION

I'll start:

• Not getting any online video content except YouTube (tried CBS and Comedy Central so far), the loading animation for the video just keeps on spinning and no further interaction possible
  
• Changing the region for weather display causes crash
  
• Mouse cursor movement has some delay. It feels like the cursor is dragged behind the actual mouse position.

I'm running Windows Vista Business x64

Boxee-0.9.5.4495 vista 64 sp1


no visualization in now playing menu.. (using last.fm)

from the log file

ERROR: NativeDllLoader: Unable to load C:\Program Files (x86)\Boxee\visualisations\opengl_spectrum_win32.v is

[starseed42]

This is what I've tested so far using the latest and greatest windows release. I'm running these on windows XP Home SP3 32bit, all the latest updates.

Can anyone confirm what I'm finding? I'll update as I test more

When first loading boxee two dos windows pop up with a "cannot find specified path" errors.. not the exact text they appear and exit very quickly

Working for me:
Apple Quicktime - tested several trailers in 480p and 720p , all good
CNN - Loaded a few news story , working well
Next New Network - shows appear to be working well, even HD stuff
On Networks - Ditto on this one, nice HD .. crappy programming
Revision 3 - Looking good, checked out diggnation, and a few other shows.
Youtube - works ok, searched and played a few things.. is there a way to expand the # of search results?

Not Working:
Hulu - Able to see video list , hangs on loading graphic after selection is made
Comedy Central - Able to see video list , hangs on loading graphic after selection is made
CBS - Able to see video list , hangs on loading graphic after selection is made
MyspaceTV - Tried content through adult swim section, and a few others.. same loading graphic hang
The WB - Same sad story
MTV music video - When choosing an album from a local library there is an option "music video" with an MTV logo next to it (awesome feature!). It will find videos from the artist, but gives the same spinning logo hang :-(


Audio Stuff

Audio Podcasts seem to start ok. Once the mp3 starts playing I can't see a way to actually stop it. Choosing the now playing option shows a visualization, but no controls for the audio playing. clicking on the visulization pauses, keyboard shortcuts allow me to stop the audio.. just no on screen displays

Last.fm working well, logged into my account and listened to some radio . Same issue with on screen controls. keyboard shortcuts as a workaround

shoutcast same as rest.. works.. not controls

Same when playing local media , seems to be specific to all audio

Same results as for Starseed.

Looking for network source freezes the application.

Running on Vista 32

First of all... wow! it is fast at navigating and indexing!!! much better than my linux version!!!

- I have an underscan issue. My computer is connected to my plasma using HDMI. My desktop fit's the screen perfectly (I use 1280x720 resolution)
But when I launch boxee. I have a black border around the screen. I solved it by removing the "-fs" at the end of line in the shortcut settings.

- If I go to my video>movies and choose wrong movie to select another one the movie disappears from the database. When I browse the folder and recognize it again it works.

- Selecting a movie and selecting the trailer doesn't work. nothing starts...

that's all for now...

I download Boxee for Windows today. The install went well, logged in, checked settings and all went well.

I add a Video source V:\Movies. This is a SMB share to my Linux system. I exited and restarted Boxee. When it started I could see my new videos but soon after Boxee crashed.

Where can I look logs or error files?
Where are the config files so I can remove this and get it running again?

I'm running;
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
AMD Athlon 64 X2
4GB Ram

Shortly after posting this I found the problem.

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) had to be turned of For Boxee.
Click on System
Click Advanced System Settings.
Under Performance, click Settings.
Select the check box next to the program that you want to turn off DEP for, and then click OK.

If the program is not in the list, click Add. Browse to the Program Files folder, find the executable file for the program (it will have an .exe file extension), and then click Open.

It works now.
