394 - No visualisations in drop down lists

Post by stubbo »

I've just installed 394, when I start GF (any mode) I get no visualisations or anything at all in any drop down lists.

It runs, using a set of defaults I guess, but I can't change or select anything.

I've checked the installation folder and everything appears to be there, but nothing is being picked up and displayed.

I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, but to date nothing.

Windows 7 - 64bit 4GB Ram (if that makes any difference) Windows Installed on D:

From playing around I've managed to work out a couple of things.....

If I start the toolbar on it's own, I get no listings. But if I start the standalone and then right click and select the toolbar it populates the visualisations.

I'm using j.river as my media player, and when it runs, it launches the toolbar but doesn't populate anything, so I can't control it.

Even more wierd.....

If I launch j. river with G-Force, close the tool bar but leave the visualisation running, then start the standalone version and launch the toolbar from that then the toolbar populates, but instead of it controlling the standalone windows visualisations it's now controlling the j.river visualisations. I can then close down the standalone version and the tollbar continuse to work with j.river. Go figure !!

Anyone have any clies what's going on here.

I'm using Symantec endpoint protection instead of Windows firewall, so I've been able to monitor individual applications network usage. The toolbar always shows 0 bytes in or out and the standalone only shows a small amount of data when it starts. So I assume the FAQ that talks about how the components communicate over TCP is no longer true.

Anyone have any clues, or is this a new bug.

GF does not work with 64 bit yet

Ah, thought I'd read elsewhere that it was working in 32 bit mode.

I was about to renew my licences for Softskies and whitecap, I assume that would be a waste of time at the moment as well then.

When should I expect to see a version that is compatible?

I was well aware that it won't work in Win7-64 if you used it with WMP. But I thought it ran fine in Win7-64 as long as you used it with a 32 bit media player. Like J. River Media Center.

Are we sure something else isn't going on? Bonjour conflict?

Stubbo, are you using the latest version of JRMC 14? Maybe you should check in at the JRMC forum and see if any other Win7-64 users are having problems.

His OS may not be opening the 32 bit app by default as it should

stubbo and others,

Yeah, some weird behavior can be seen thanks to the myriad of virus/network protection products out there. Because each of those products can use techniques that can sometimes affect what they're protecting/monitoring, it's very difficult for me to make a statement about what's happening on your setup.

SoundSpectrum is currently saddled with 64 bit compatibility thanks to various Apple and MS's decisions so until that's addressed, that has to be our priority. The good news is that we of course have been making progress there.

Andy
