Why does BSplayer freeze when I try to play an AVI?

Little more info perhaps?

Try running it through GSpot and telling us the results.

I have the same problem: when I want to manually load a second or third movie-file (from HDD or CDROM), the WHOLE system freezes. CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work, so a hard-reset is needed. It also happens when I put multiple avi-files in the playlist: it freezes the system after 2 files are played...

System specs:
Pentium III-733
256MB RAM
Asus V3800 32MB videocard

What DirectX version, what DirectShow filters you using and what is the movie that crash for - i mean, codecs (video/audio too).
What is BSplayer settings - overlay, rendering used... and so on... so far.

With informations like this you post is useless and you cannot expect any form of help - not to mention that the post don't belongs there, since its at 99.9999% user fault and not a BSplayer fault.
Crashing like this will other users surely recongnizing, so, you are alone with this. Witch means that...

You get it, right? :roll:

Hi,

I have the same problem, when I try to execute an .avi file, the computer frezee. (BSPlayer v.086.499 over Win XP Pro). The message is:

"BSPlayer v0.86.499, Unhandled exception at EIP: 00000000
If you click 'Close' application will be terminated.

With Gspot the result was correct.

After that, I downloaded the v0.86.501, and the result is the same. The new message is:

"BSPlayer v0.86.501, Unhandled exception at EIP: 00000000

any idea?

Thanks a lot

I think I get it. Maybe you're right. I'll try and get as much information as possible and make a better (or even proper?) post next week. Although I DO think it's not a user fault (as the first movie always plays without a hitch) so it's either hardware or software or a combination of the two...

I receive the same error as above. When I shut down BSPlayer, I get this error.

szAppName : bplay.exe szAppVer : 0.8.6.501 szModName : mmswitch.ax
szModVer : 0.9.7.0 offset : 00005990

I have updated Morgan Stream as suggested and have all of the updated DirectX drivers and Klite++ codecs but cannot load an avi without freezing the application.

you just don't need morgan stream switcher with bsplayer (or most good enough players)... just get rid of it

if there is no uninstall shorcut or whatever, find the mmswitch.ax file, then go to start-->run and type

regsvr32.exe -u path_to_file\mmswitch.ax

(if mmswitch is in your system32 directory, regsvr32.exe -u mmswitch.ax is enough)
