You are kidding alright. Come on!

Anyway, I conclude it must be terribly difficult to create independent buttons for the functions "pause" and "start playback"/"resume playback". Seriously now, I suspect your programming code is not fast enough to decide which track should be "chosen" under specific circumstances, which makes the player kill itself in order to escape from "anxiety".

There is no any connection between the code speed and the problem you have. You are the only man who says that PAUSE button crashes the player.

DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE SUCH PROBLEM?

I can't solve the problem I can't repeat. The problem can be in DVD-A disc, but according to your report it happens when player tries to release DirectShow graph. So, may be something wrong not with player but with your system. Try another disc, or try to give a link somehow to problematic disc.

I had the problem on the Seal "best of" DVD-A....there was some "fake" 1 sec. track between the 2 albums(original version/acoustic) that crashed your player instantly..

good point about the "Waveparser" mode + Reclock, I only tried the ffdshow mode...but Reclock has a prebuffer of 500ms that "eats up" the first half second of each track(you can disable it but then Reclock won't work in movies anymore), rather annoying..but I got bitperfect MME drivers so I'm cool

apparently KMixer on XP runs in 16/48, it's a real butchery! bypassing it is like you bought a new soundcard

on Vista it runs in 32float sumthing, still annoying but a lot less

This is another bug (I have it also on Queen 'Night in Opera'), I will fix it in v0.4, the track seems to be too small for filling internal ShaPLAY's buffers. I didn't expect such small tracks

PS: Do you use ReClock for movies also? I don't think it is reasonable except you watching TrueHD/DTS-HD MA streams ...

I personally don't think it's reasonable to watch movies w/o Reclock

You could complain about it resampling the audio, but you're prolly watching movies in DS at this point and KMixer does the exact same thing....just worse

Reclock resamples the audio to match an exact multiple of your video refresh rate(so you never get dropped/dupped video frames), then sends it in bit-perfect to your soundcard(WASAPI/KS)

you dunno you have a problem until you try it, it raises your standards up the roof smoothness-wise(especially in conjunction w/ Haali's Renderer in 24/48Hz)

looking forward to your next ShaPlay build

Given that you yourself said you're not a "senior programmer",
I will swallow the statement above with a grain of salt.

Quote:

Midzuki had written:

Quote:
The player autoplays the first track; I pause it before "time == 1.00 sec", then I press the button NEXT, and then Shaplay.exe shuts down.
Did you try to repeat it, at least?
It does appear the answer is NO, given that I had already said
I'm testing your AOB player on AUDIO_TS folders created by dvda-author on my HDD,
however you keep repeating:

Quote:
The problem can be in DVD-A disc,
And considering that the team behind the DVD-Audio Tools
IS made of "senior programmers", I prefer to believe their skills are more
solid than yours.

Sorry if this all sounds rude to your ears,
but I really can't help it.

It seems that I found the possible reason for your crash. Well, if you still with us, which CPU you use and how many RAM? It matters

If I will add 500 ms of silence (switchable option!) at the beginning of track, does it help?

PS: I tried to write a small application for playing DVD-A, and now I feel as Microsoft that has to fix all the bugs in big software

in my experience, no matter how much silence I add in front of audio tracks...Reclock still glitches

and anyway, I'm cool w/ my bitperfect MME drivers...thanks for your help!

usually ppl who only wanna go bit-perfect have tricks in their pockets(DirectWire drivers on the AudioTrak cards so they can internally route DS/MME to ASIO, etc)

I guess ASIO output would be too complicated as well? I'm not sure it'd work through a regular DS graph..

May be it will be your homework?
Try to find in web how ASIO can be implemented in DirectShow graph and how I can implement it.

A "junior programmer", or a TROLL ???

Shadson PMed:

PS: Design is terrible, but it will not be changed. Read the readme file (about Stage2 at the end). It will be your chance to create superb interface
OK. An "enhanced" Audio-CD player which refuses to work properly on a "too-old" Pentium 4, and only because its creator regards design flaws as "unique features", really does not deserve my attention anymore.

From my point of view it is not logical to keep PAUSE mode
if you try to go to next track.

I was able to repeat situation you described but only on slowest from my work/home/htpc machines.
Your PC is fast enough for processing ShaPLAY's code, but not too fast to process DirectShow subsystem at the same time. Or may be too less memory, don't know exactly. When you press NEXT or PREV - ShaPLAY sends the message to Windows' DirectShow for closing the graph. Windows trys to do it, but got too less resources and ShaPLAY destroys variables before all of them were cleared by DirectShow subsystem. It's is not possible to check was DS closed properly or not, so all I did - just added "Sleep(50ms)" before destroing the variables. It is enough for DirectShow for doing all the things it needs for finishing. May be for your PC it will not be enough and I have to call sleep for 100 or 150 ms.
Obviously you still have something to learn:
how to write efficient code.

At last! ^_^

After all, it was not that difficult, eh?

Just three more things for receiving the "Nihil Obstat":

--> a seeking bar

--> Keyboard shortcuts

{
CTRL + O
CTRL + Left Arrow
ALT + Left Arrow
ALT + Right Arrow
CTRL + Right Arrow
CTRL + Space
CTRL + Q
SHIFT + E
}

--> remove the string "(C)2009 Shadson" from the caption of the initial window.
Credits should be displayed in a separate message box,
duly called via an ABOUT button.

BTW, what the devil is a "remote" ?

I wanted to post to express my appreciation to Shadson and tell Midzuki to somewhat behave since I felt he was way too harsh in this thread, but well, things are improving in this matter !

Tried to play without tweaking a very old ffdshow version installed and it worked despite a somewhat agressive sound (I guess it might be due to resampling).
I have just installed the latest SVN ffdshow version to compare.

Anyway thanks for your effort Shadson. Keep up the good work !

With respect Midzuki, your attitude toward Shadson is indeed disrespectful (refer to rule 4).

And if you're into grammatical errors, the word is "spoilt" not "spoiled"....

Many thanks Shadson for your outstanding work

Spoilt is typical of UK that is why most people from US would even say there isn't such a word. If in US - go for spoiled, if in UK - spoilt is perfectly correct.
like color/colour, flavor, flat/apartment, first floor/ground floor..."spoiled" IS english ?!

Well, I will not dare to deny that.

On the other hand, you will NOT convince me that it wasn't necessary.
