SocketWrapper DOS box (transcoded files)
Last modified: 2009-01-21 06:56:56 UTC
When playing WAV files (native support active) I see a DOS box open on my Windows Vista system. This happens when I have players synced or unsynced
Happens for M4A files on Vista as well
regression testing to verify the FIRST version this issue appears on
This does not happen in Windows XP - SP2/3 with 7.3.2
SC 7.2.0 does not have this issue in Windows Vista
SC 7.3.1 has the same issue on Vista
SC 7.3.0 has the same error in Vista
It looks like Win32::SetChildShowWindow(0); is not working on Vista. Perhaps this is a problem with the version of ActiveState perl we have been using since 7.3. I seem to recall we made some changes a little while ago. Michael, can you add anything here?
RE-Testing per Alan's request: Before each test cycle, uninstall SC, manual remove all traces from system (folders and Reg keys) reboot system. Windows VISTA x32 w/SP1 Install & test: 7.2 - no DOS box appears when playing WAV or MP4 7.3 - no DOS box appears when playing WAV or MP4 7.3.1 - no DOS box appears when playing WAV or MP4 7.3.2 - no DOS box appears when playing WAV or MP4 ------------------------ Serial Install 7.2 > 7.3 > 7.3.1 > 7.3.2 no reboots, test after each install 7.2 - no error -> 7.3 - no error --> 7.3.1 - no error ---> 7.3.2 - no error ------------------------ I am at a loss as to how I was able to replicate this error now. I was able to replicate before I uninstalled and wiped the system, now I can not. Alan, what do you want me to do next?
Close as WOKSFORME, I guess.
Unable to reproduce this with today's build, 7.3.2 r24679
Turning Player.Source to DEBUG causes the window to pop up!!!!
I would not really call that a bug. Getting DOS boxes if and only if debug logging is enabled is not worth worrying about.
