Occasional Windows Media Player errors #51

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

The screensaver will work fine for days, then suddenly I will get a Windows Media Player error which I will need to click and then the screensaver closes. Not sure if this has been reported before but it has happened several times. Any fix?

@jjunge81 What did the error message say?

jeffreyahallett commented 8 years ago

It simply says that Windows Media Player encountered an error. No error codes and no other details. It appears as a while dialog box over a black screen. I see it fairly regularly as well. It happens before it plays a new segment - not during a running segment.

This occurred in my PC, too. It seems that the URL of the media files are not right, so I recommend updating the URL list constantly.

alistairmcmillan commented 8 years ago

@sheyu921 I'm not sure what you mean, the URLs are downloaded fresh each time you run the screensaver.

Please note down the error messages. There isn't much anyone can do to help without knowing what the error message is. :)

@alistairmcmillan I updated a update of windows, now it work well, thanks a lot.

Also, I downloaded and installed the Dec release (where the name was changed from aerial to AerialScreenSaver). I have not seen the errors I reported previously since. Also the caching makes the screen saver launch and segment switch much faster.

@jeffreyahallett @sheyu921 glad to hear it is working now.

@jjunge81 How about you jjunge81? Is the screensaver working for you now? Are you still getting errors?

cDima commented 7 years ago

@jjunge81 check the latest release, perhaps it fixes the error.
