KOROR Wrote:I've just installed the lastest build of XBMC, but when trying to launch the program errors due to D3DX9_41.dll missing, I tried searcing here and found out other people had encountered the same problem, but they fixed it by installing DirectX 9c, so I tried doing the same, but couldn't because my DirectX was newer, so I ran dxdiag and found our I'm running DirectX 10, so shouldn't XBMC be working for me? Can anyone figure out what i can do to fix this?
simple, you don't have the directx 9 libraries. go ahead and download this:

Build 23436_dx
XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, 2.2 GHz 4MB L2 Cache 800MHz FSB
2 GB RAM 667MHz
nVidia 8600M GT
nVidia Driver 169.28 (Tried various 17x.x and 18x.x drivers)
HDMI out to Pioneer 50'' Plasma 720p
fiddlin' with vsync (XBMC and Driver) doesn't change much.
Me too I also have serious tearing on my playback. Dosnt matter what file ie avi, mp4, wmv, mkv. makes no difference when I change vsync either.
Build 23718_dx
Win 7
Intel P4 3.4ghz HT L2 Cache 800MHz FSB
2 GB Ram Dual Channel
Intel 915 onboard graphics, have latest drivers loaded.. seems to be really nice for media playback, will probably upgrade to beter video card soon
VGA out to 42" Pana Plasma
Apart from the tearing, xbmc works perfectly on Aeon, Transperancy, mediastream... Havnt tried the external player yet, dont really want to at this stage

looks like the intel graka is the last one that need xbmc optimisations in rendering. the first good working was nvidia, then ati (ati at least NOW works for me in most cases), and intel is still left.
just my conclusion, as it was the same earlier times back.
today i tested a 11gb 1080p encode of wolverine, which is a really good one, and had NO issues at all in 23658 GL. did not test on dx yet to be honest, as now GL works for me so i will stick on that one now until there are better/more feature rich dx versions..

I have the exact same problem with the last svn.

I read that it happens when pausing video with "space". Pausing with "p" acts normal.
I can't confirm if this is true because I'm at work. Also don't know if I'm pausing with space or "p". I believe my remote is mapped to use "space".
Thanks
- kricker - 2009-10-16
I was pausing with "space".
- joshuass - 2009-10-16
If anyone is having problems resuming playback after hitting <space>, disable navigation sounds. This is a problem that was discussed earlier on (pure virtual call error after resuming playback of video with digital sound). You can also remap <space> to the function controlled by <p>.
EDIT: ADDED:
I played a 13gb Startrek (2009) encode which played flawlessly in the DX build of 23658.
- kricker - 2009-10-16
I already had navigation sounds off, so I guess that's why I didn't see the issue.

My Dolby TrueHD sample mkv now plays smoothly, using kricker's most recent build.
But now, any MKVs with subtitles promptly crash XBMC, and actually have for a few builds. Any ideas?

Remove MSVCP90.dll and MSVCR90.dll from the XBMC program directory.
Libass.dll "supposedly" needs them, but runs fine with out them.
If the error is what I think it is, you arent really crashing. Windows is telling you that libass.dll is make a call to those two files in a way that is incorrect and it throws that error out as "R6034" or something.
You will have to do this for all subsequent DX builds until the dev's decide how to proceed.
Of course, if what I just described is not what you're seeing, then I dont know what is up :o

Yes, that's what it is.
I remember reading that now.
Aren't you the one who always posts here about ASS/SSA issues? If so, thanks for your efforts in reporting errors to make get subtitles working right. I have a lot of content that depend on subtitles displaying correctly.
Edit: I checked your posts, you're not the person I thought, but you've done some reporting of your own.
- joshuass - 2009-10-16
Haha. No worries. Most of my content is subtitled too.

joshuass Wrote:Remove MSVCP90.dll and MSVCR90.dll from the XBMC program directory.Silly me. I forgot to remove those .dlls. I'll be doing that post haste. They won't be in subsequent builds as I was told things will still work without them, but just log some errors I believe.
