Getting errors when hovering some video files

[jupe]

I'll add that I have noticed lately that MDBU doesn't work on a lot of video files, I thought I might just need to restart (which I haven't done yet) but it could actually be related to this issue. From limited testing I don't have any issues with preview tab/pane though.

edit: Just noticed that if I enable the HoverBox for vids then my MDBU starts working again for all vids, so seems like maybe new issue since HoverBox/InfoTips rework.

edit2: actually some MDBU video files don't work still, but much, much less than before, but with HoverBox enabled for vids the HoverBox does work on the same files that MDBU doesn't work, strange.

1) v22.40.0235 might generate better error messages.

2) This undocumented tweak might bring it back to the working state: PreviewEarlyFactory=1

Based on the theory that this change caused the present trouble:

Code: Select all

v22.40.0224 - 2021-11-13 09:36
  *** Preview and Thumbnails: In order to avoid the annoying "Switch to / 
      Repeat" Windows dialog as much as possible, I have experimentally 
      rearranged the order of various methods of image extraction. This is a 
      radical change that affects practically anything with images. The effect 
      on the quality and speed of the image extraction is difficult to predict 
      and will vary from system to system.

1) Getting the same error I think:

2) This does work. The hoverview works again, holding click works again too. And changing the view to thumbnails doesn't bring any errors now.

Okay. I need to think.

The next beta (v22.40.0236) might make a better error message on your MKV video.

1) Strange! Unfortunately I cannot see this here. And looking at the code, MDBU is completely unrelated to the HoverBox settings.

2) I assume all these issue disappear when you set this tweak: PreviewEarlyFactory=1

3) Are you sure that these issues only affect video files?

[jupe]

1) somehow they have interaction, maybe the HB loads it into cache, then MDBU loading from cache works ok?, but some files still work for HB but not MDBU, I can't explain it.

2) yes all back to normal

3) Have only noticed it on video files, MDBU has been fine for everything else in my day to day use, using v21.30 instead everything works fine again. Issue has been present for about a week

[admin]

1) Yes, might be.

3) Though I cannot see a reason why only video files should be affected, I will exclude them from those changes for now (but NOT in the next beta, still need to run some tests). Gotta start somewhere.

[admin]

1) Getting the same error I think ...

Please try v22.40.0236 (without the PreviewEarlyFactory tweak). Any better error messages?

[admin]

BTW, I added the PreviewEarlyFactory tweak to the (undocumented) SC tweak. You now can quickly toggle the value like this:

Code: Select all

tweak("PreviewEarlyFactory", 0, 1);  //toggle 0/1

I get this when I change the view to thumbnails (had to recreate the cache, otherwise the thumbs loaded without problems):

It seems the errors haven't changed.

[admin]

Thanks! This is so weird. I think I've *never* seen something like this. So I just HAVE TO find out what's going, and ask you to try again with the next beta.

No problem, happy to help.
With the latest beta 0239 I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

With the lastest beta I still get this using floating preview, the preview pane works fine.

Crazy. All these error messages are not true. There is something deeper going wrong that is also responsible for wrong error messages. But at this point I'm out of ideas. So I will exclude videos from the change and all should be fine again.
