1. Latest WarpVision Not Working? |
|
|
I downloaded and installed the latest WarpVision and the Wincodecs. WarpVision would not start. I just get the properties box. I deleted the video2.ini file and it still would not start. Is it me or is there something wrong with the latest WarpVision?

last updated at 06 Oct, 2005 16:07 (1 times) Interesting, I downloaded it for my warp 4 drive. It played a mpeg-1 file I had on the drive just fine but when I went to play a mp3 file - it brought down the entire system! This did not occur with the previous version I had so I will be reverting back to that one.Adam |

| I just tried the latest Warpvision. It won't play DVD's for me, and the previous one worked. Deleted the .ini file and no change. Not sure what's up with this version, but I'm going back to the old one. Also, I found I needed to download and unzip the file: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wvgui/libc06r1.zip for it to work. |

Starting it from a command line will probably reveal that some DLL might be missing... |

| Hi! New drop of wvgui (4 oct 2005) is working for me, so it means some crashes with certain file types... some hangs from time to time... some OSD scattering... some zombies threads in tasklist... no worse and no better than with previous build (1 jun 2005). Still no way to get rid of debug window, still no recording - so no new functionality yet (but postprocess dialog page listbox works ok now). Simply beta quality soft. I'm using it together with new woverlay update (30 sep 2005). I've experienced no problems with mp3s... anyway, I am not using it as my audioplayer. What about dvd? Not quite sure as I don't have dvd drive... but used to play downloaded images from harddrive instead (via video_ts.ifo) and movies play ok - with one significant exeption - subtitles and osd's are "scattered"... the same occured in 1 jun 2005 build so I keep even older build (4 feb 2005) for that purpose (video_ts.ifo's) which does the job right. greetings/2 |

I also installed WV on my T23 that has eCS 1.1. It did not have a previous version of WV on it. It started up okay. Unfortunately I did not have a DVD to try or any movie files on the T23 to use with it.

On attempting to play anything I get an error from Warp Overlay that hardware is not available - didn't say that before, just played most files and dvds shoved at it - clicking OK closes WV.
Any chance of a url for the above woverlay update Please? Pete |

Make sure that you have the correct libc in the path, if you do not have "." or the warpvision directory is not in your libpath

Have noticed you sign yourself as: Director of communications Could you please tell me/us what that "title" means? I assume you would have more answers than questions on the OS/2 matters......... I could be wrong of course. ciao. |

| Something strange it is with the new version. I got the previous one installed and this one functions allright. DVD as well as files on my harddrive. Though it gives a little strange "format" when I play mpg:s, people become kind of "long in their faces". Wmv:s just fine and mov-files from my digital camera are for the first time having the right colors. Though I can't add them to playlist, then the program will crash. Also when you close down the programme there is som cmd-box left open. It's both better and worse in my opinion! |

Second: more mysterious... i'm starting wvgui and it just brings debug window to top... but skinned guid doesn't show at all, (when I choose video for os/2 from task list (skinned gui control window...) it shows up but... is somehow locked, moving it causes moving big part of screen....) so I know it is unable to play nothing (when try above error window appears) and only solution is to close it (via debug window close) and restart. Absolutly no idea why it happens... but as I wrote in my first post there is no point to evaluate beta soft, if it's working ok then I'm happy if not no problemos... older builds do their job. greetings/2 |

| I deleted everything in the WarpVision directory and unzipped the latest into it. It still does not play. The icon for WarpVision no longer shows the elephant but a generic icon. I click on the icon and it shows the property box. I will place the WarpVision in a different directory and try it again. I will be trying the WarpVision on my T23. I downloaded some videos (from http://hobbes.nmsu.edu and http://www.merlinmotorsusa.com to try with it) and will be trying a dvd (the T23 has a dvd drive - IIRC). PS 'director of communications' is the title I have for the non-profit OS/2-eCS.Org group ( http://www.os2ecs.org ). I nominated and elected into that position. I 'spread the word' of OS/2-eCS.Org activities. I am totally new to that title and am just doing my best.

Are you sure you have the libc06r1.dll in your libpath as Fahrvenugen points out? |

My wvgui directory contains following files: 05-10-07 17:15 <DIR> 788 . 05-10-04 10:33 <DIR> 2076 .. 05-10-04 10:33 <DIR> 0 plugins 05-10-04 11:01 <DIR> 0 skin 05-10-04 1:02 1092 0 changes 05-07-22 23:32 21379 54 dvdcss.dll 05-10-02 21:28 53213 54 liba52.dll 05-07-18 6:38 912103 0 libc06r1.dll 05-10-02 0:42 108080 54 TVIN.dll 05-10-04 1:03 2523688 0 video2.exe 03-01-17 15:24 5498 238 Video2.ICO 05-06-16 20:34 106806 54 webcam.dll 13 file(s) 3732113 bytes used And no aditional tuning or libpath needed to make wvgui working as expected. (of course working directory on file tab of video2.exe object is set to proper one where all files reside)... So problem must be somewhere else. My suggestion is to try it with older woverlay incarnation called hwendive... as woverlay support is limited to some subset of chipsets supported by snap but not all. Also trying newest woverlay build would help. greetings/2 |

| Recent versions of WarpOverlay are very broken. It used to be it just trashed the system after playing porn. I agree that it is both better and worse. I can play the Doom movie trailer (.mov) with sound now. However, it crashes when after program is started, loading a second media file. I'm somewhat lost on the development of WV these days - who's making these releases? What ever happend to the kiev people? I liked them. Perhaps these new people need some help.. ..Not just our frustration. |
