LDS2007 with showplayer V2

[genesis]

Hi all
i use LDS2007 but last week i want to use the showplayer function.
but i have a problem.
the show player start i create a playslist and when i add a show and want to know the lenght (refresh) i got an arror with a popup empty or random symbols sometimes i've got "****.rtd not ound" where **** is the name of the show and i'm sure the file is in god place and not in read only protection.

and if i not use the refresh function but use ok and start the showplayer to play the list i've got "showplayer make an exception error"

Does anyone have the same problem?
i have tried on the original bin of LDS on DVD and with the last update but have the same problem.

thank you
greetings

and if i not use the refresh function but use ok and start the showplayer to play the list i've got "showplayer make an exception error"

Hi, i have the same problem since LDS2007.
Different Notebooks, new Systems, no way..
Showplayer V1 & V2 do not work
I had contact with Phillip (developer of the ShowPlayers) therefore already.
But because it does not have LDS2007, it cannot reconstruct the problem.

thank's for the info.
this is a bad new because there is no way at this time to solve the problem

Hi,

I can only testing by the "old" LDS. No problems. Also under phoenix the player is running without error messages. This is a new version only for Phoenix. I think Phillip needs the latest LDS software for creating a Show Player update. Genesis, send Lennart a bug list of this. I think that's the best way for this problem.

Hallo

[genesis]

thank you
franck.

[genesis]

i have try lots of things.
but without success

each time i have these error messages when i try to play a show or use refresh or even the about button.



no serial dongle found! but the dongle work properly if i double click on *.rtd file the pro version îs loading and open the rtd show.



"incorrect class string" prog ID: realtime.document"


i don't know why.

nohoe what is you window installation language?

[tracky]

I have spoke with Satrek. He had written this player. Last weekend I have installed a new LDS2007 basic. I have the same problem like Genesis.

Here is a little bit VBS script from Satrek for testing the struktur of the registry.

Set Show = CreateObject("RealTime.Document")
Show.VBAHelloWorld
Show = 0

save to test.vbs

start execute this file - you must see a popup windows "Copyright by Lennart Wietzke" bla bla lba

Next step:

Set Show = CreateObject("RealTime.Document")
Show.VBAOpen("c:\laser\shows\honor.rtd")
Show.VBARun
Show.VBAWait
Show.VBAStop
Show = 0

save to honor.vbs

execute this file. When the show is running, the struktur of registry is okay. Is it not running, windows can't open this dokument (registry)
Then we must inform Lennart for update this function.

Bad englisch . . . . .

hello tracky
thanks for your help
i've try the first step but i obtain a popup with an error
do you have msn?

here is the error

c:\lase\test.vbs
line 1
caracter1
an active x component can't create object 'realtime.document'
code 800A01AD
execution error microsoft vbscript

i try some search about this error under windows

[tl]

You could try this:
Open a command shell (DOS Box) and enter the following commands:

Code: Select all

cd \laser\bin
realtime -register

[genesis]

hello TL
that load lds but the script not work.
perhaps my windows installation. i have tried six or seven tips for the 800A01AD error but without success.


a question: which dlls are used to execute this vbs script?

[tracky]

Okay you have the same message!
Can you send a message to Lennart. I think he has a solution for this. Philipp said he must change a entry in the registry.

[genesis]

ok i will try but i think the problem is from VBS not LDS.
i need to try another vbs code and see if that work
like createobject with another application (word etc)

thank all for your help

another infos

i have tried your code on my laptop and it work
for the first step but the second step i obtain

"the server generate an exception"
line 2
caracter 1
code 80010105
source "null"

and on showplayer 2

the serial dongle is displayed

but if i use showplayer i have an error message

"the server have generated an exception"
or
"file m1/4"
or
file "p1/2"


the strange thing is if i try to open the BASIC\1 show.rtd that work well!
but not with another shows!

[genesis]

Hi, i not want to be unpleasant but i not have solution for this problem.

when i buy a software i would like to have a functionnal software not a beta.

someone can help me? because i not want to buy the "new" (read not beta) version of LDS each year.

i use my laser for free at gaming events and NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE! i can't spent money each year to correct bugs and used for beta testing!!

each time i have no support for this software, no change.txt where i can found update if i crash my system because i not have the last version on CD? nowhere!! this is like if this soft was never released!

thank you.

Hi,

@Boris,

i think it is great that you have your own phoenix section at this forum and you help users or other laserfreaks there.
But please stop that... that is the same ugly type of advertisement we don't want to have here... Like the companies from china.

So: Advertisements should be posted to the "Marktplatz".
For help in Phoenix related things you have your own Part of the Forum.
For help or questions on other things feel free to post in the specific section of the forum.

Advertisements in other channels except "Marktplatz" or "Phoenix" are not wanted.

Greetings,

Mackel

[genesis]

i'm ok with you but at this time that give one answer to my problem! and about LDS? what else?

[decix]

The Showplayer is not part of LDS 2007, it's 3rd party software. So please don't blame the author of LDS.
And btw... LDS 2008 has a simple built-in showplayer which is enough to play some shows in a row.

[nohoe]

Hello

@Genesis
The new Colorfunktions are great in LDS2008.
Best is the RGB Effect.
And, you get some new Shows with LDS2008,my last Shows also.

Before you ask.
No, I'm no Reseller of LDS.

I don't know the reason why it was working on my Computers.
(LDS2007 and the Showplayer)

Greetings
Norbert

[genesis]

i think LDS2008 is better but when you don't use the software for commercial use this is expensive!
and next year? i need to buy the 2009?

[m.phoenix]

@Mackel
sorry! you are absolutely right! My mistake and I apologize for that.
I wont do it again.

@ Genesis
I think first of all - it should be 100% clear, that the showplayer is NOT part of LDS and is just a free gift of another laserfreak!!! Its just on the CD from LDS because of a nice service - thats it. In that case - without making adds in here - we spend money for reprogramming the tool...

"Normaly" the showplayer works fine with LDS - but in 95% of the problems the "Bug" is just a missing path. So, from my experience I know, that most of the people forget to save the correct pathes for everyting (CAT, Music, worlds...)
About the price / updates - LDS is VERY cheap already. The update and the upgrades are the only chance to get a little (!) bit money back for months of work - for nice new things.
A software is NEVER finished! Look at VISTA We are all just stupid bug-searcher - and we can not do anything in most of the problems.

so, you always buy a software without any warranty. You can try it - if you dont like it - you dont need to pay it.. BUT there are no rights in the world, which say "Free updates for ever". So, the programmers have 2 possiblities: 1) Sell Cheap for the current version - and sell every year a new update or whatever or 2) Sell for high price and support customers for a limited time with service or free updates.
So, dont blame on LDS -for that price you already get much more possibilities then in all other software in the world! If you want something special - you need to go other ways...
