Volume plugin not working with 97.7?

[darisb]

Is it just me or is the latest version of the Volume plugin not working with the new 97.7 version of GBpvr? I made sure the dll's were installed in the proper directories and "Volume" was in one of the VideoPlugin lines in the config.xml. Every time I hit the up or down volume button on the remote I get the following error message:

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Thanks,
Daris

Reproduce the error and then post your gbpvr.exe.log file. Will take a look.

Please note that v1.7 of the Volume OSD plugin requires v0.4+ of the [URL="http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Development/GbpvrUiElements]GBPVRUIElements library[/URL].

Thanks. I thought I'd start with the GBpvrUIElements library. I downloaded the link for End Users, but when I opened it the only thing in the compressed file is a cfm document file. There is no dll file. I downloaded it to my linux box and got the same results.

In the meantime, here is the output from the log file:

I launched regedit, and it entry had an odd hex value. I set it to zero and restarted the computer. This time when I launched GBpvr and tried to adjust the volume, I got the same error message. Here is the output from the log file for the second attempt.

Double check you config.xml contains the plugin line needed, i had the trick and it seems v97.07 upgrade erase this line

[McBainUK]

If you go to the wiki again I've just uploaded the correct zip file (Fatman_do alerted me to this about 5mins ago ).

Encounter unexpected exception in timerRefresh_Tick:Method not found: 'Void GbpvrUiElements.ButtonList..ctor(GBPVR.Public.Skin Helper, System.String, System.String)'.
This error is due to the old version of UI elements.

Also if you are using regedit to change the reg value take note of this:

## Internal GBPVR volume ##
lowest ffffd8f0 or maybe 0xffffd8f = 4294957296 = -10000 (int)
highest ffffffd4 or maybe 0xffffffd4 = 4294967252 = -44 (int)

[darisb]

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. I'll try it right now.

[darisb]

That fixed it. Thanks.

[McBainUK]

Good to hear.

Btw, I followed your "journalspace" link and saw the post about the Volume OSD plugin. Made me

[Fatman_do]

The file worked, it just may get lost by some users in the extraction process.
