images

[JimmyA]

Hi,

I am trying to use ubustream2 and ubu radio without much success. Is the ubustream2 installation supposed to create a new _coreimages directory? I have an existing directory under gbpvr/skin2 but none of the ubustream png files are in there? I am at work now but I believe the getrenderlist() procedure fails because a null value is returned as there are no images to select.

Thanks

I've had no problems with Ubustream 2.2 and PVRX2 1.2.9, but when I finally updgraded to 1.2.13 last weekend I encountered the same problems as you describe JummyA, and Ubustream no longer works.

Code:

Copying skin\blue\_CoreImages from PVRX2 1.2.9 doesn't solve the problem either, with the following errors.

Code:

Nor does copying the skin\blue ubstream files to skin\blue2 work either


Has something changed in the the way skins are handled in 1.2.13 from 1.2.9 that is causing these problems?

Does nobody have this plugin working with PVRX2?

UbuRadio works from the MVP/PCH for me, but I need this fix

As an update I decided to try UbuRadio in PVRx2 itself and I can play Real Audio ok, but Windows Media streams don't work on the PC. This might be related to WMP v11 on Vista (maybe a Media Foundation problem?), since the logs do say it is trying to launch Windows Mediainternal player but nothing happens.

Edit This problem was solved by installing UbuStream

Martin,

Many thanks for your help. After much moving around of graphics and skin files, I was able to bring up the ubu streams and radio windows. Right now, streaming is hit and miss. I will have to spend more time on it this weekend to try and identify the problems.

Thanks again,

Jimmy

OK, have everything working with Real and WMP. VLC opens but does not play. Any ideas?
