2014.1 cannot find VLC #197

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Starting any of the Nightly Builds (2014.1) on a Windows 7 or Windows 8 /8.1 
Machine with VLC 2.1.3 (current version) correctly installed
2. Quelea cannot find VLC
3. The Release Version 2014.0 CAN FIND the VLC player....

Some hints why VLC isn´t working with the nigthly builds?

Are you sure you only have one version of VLC on your system, and this version 
is the latest one? If you have two versions (an older and a newer one) then 
Quelea may see the older one first, and complain that the version of VLC is too 
old.

(The above is the only way I've been able to reproduce this issue.)

Hy Michael.

On my system i had two versions installed.
So i deleted both, downloaded the actual version 2.1.3 and installed it.
The "Installed Software" in the Win7 system page now shows just one installed 
VLC...
The "cannot find VLC" is still there

ummmm, that´s strange...

I searched the registry for VLC entries and found some old ones and deleted 
them...with no effect to the error.

Hy Michael!

Very interresting what i found out now:

I started 2014.0 with from the quelea.exe => VLC can be found and is working
i started 2014.0 from commandline java -jar Quelea.jar => VLC cannot be found

I´m sure this is also the reason why the Nightly builds are not working -> 
they are started from commandline ?

What i could imagine what causes this:
VLC (and quelea) is installed to the Program Files(X86) folder.

This folder has different labels depending on the Windows Version installed 
(Language dependent)
On a German Windows7 installation the Program Files (x86) is displayed as 
"Programme (x86)
Maybe this is a problem when starting quelea from the commandline ?

Or is there any other reason why Quelea is not working when it´s started from 
the commandline?

-> i attached the logfile when starting 2014.0 with CMD

here is the commandline output from the 2014.1 version:
The output referring to the vlc problem is very similar to the one when 2014.0 
is started via CMD

Hi Simon, it appears that when running from the command line you are using your 
systems default Java install which is 64 bit. 

When you run from the packaged .exe, it uses the bundled Java install which is 
32 bit.

Your VLC installation is in 32 bit, and so won't run with 64 bit Java. You can 
either install the 64 bit VLC or change your default system Java to whichever 
version of VLC you're using.

To do that, go to Control Panel, type 'Java' into the search box and open the 
program, go to the Java tab, then hit 'View...' and make sure that only one 
Java installation is ticked, and that it is in the Programme (x86)\Java\ folder.

This should do it, but if you need more help then get back to me.

Ben

p.s. I have attached a screenshot, but its slightly different because I use 64 
bit for testing purposes.

Hy Ben!

The installation of Java 32 bit did not work...
