MDAPIfilter doesn't work properly - DLL_PROCESS_DETACH by FreeLibrary call

[riksdaler]

After happily using GBPVR with MDAPIfilter and Acamd for six months I now face a problem I hope someone can help me (and maybe others) to solve. I ran the NMTInstall program in order to interface GBPVR from a PopcornHour A-110, this works fine for me as well as running GBPVR on the PC after the installation.

However, MDAPIfilter stopped to work for me. When I ran NMTInstall.exe I was stupid enough to let the program reinstall GBPVR as well :-( If I remember correctly I had the same version before as now (1.4.7)

I now face these two problems:

1) MDAPIfilter needs to be manually registered on the command line to run (regsvr32 /s mdapifilter.ax), it then works only one time in GBPVR, then I need to manually stop the recording service, register, and restart to get it to start.

2) MDAPIfilter newer starts ACamd. The only log entries in the MDAPIfilter.log are:
...[INFO] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain->DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH
...[INFO] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain() MDAPIFilter being used by GBPVR
...[INFO] [MAIN] DllRegisterServer()
...[WARN] [MAIN] CMDAPIFilter:llMain->DLL_PROCESS_DETACH by FreeLibrary call.

Anyone has any clue what could be wrong? I found one old thread in this forum that potentially could be related:

I now concluded that the log entries in MDAPIfilter.log comes from me manually registering mdapifilter.ax. GBPVR never seems to use MDAPI (Yes, I enabled it in the config tool). If I can find out how to get GBPVR 1.4.7 to use MDAPI then hopefully everything will work.

Can someone please direct me to which logfiles to look and which settings in GBPVR to check?

GBPVR never seems to use MDAPI (Yes, I enabled it in the config tool).

Just to be sure, have you enabled it on the capture source itself?

What do you mean by that? The entry in MDAPICards.xml?

When you go into the capture source settings in the config app, there is a setting for the common interface type. You need to have that set to multidec.

Thanks, that solved the issue. (Edit capture source, then settings on Recording source) Great support!
