Title: Program Hangs when Playing Video Previews - Help
Post by: bryanbph on August 07, 2009, 10:31:34 am

I'm using MALA 1.05 and have a basic layout that includes the gamelist, and a video preview window of the game.  The issue I'm having is the video preview plays fine for the first game, however when I scroll to the next game in the list, MALA just locks up and hangs.  The only way I can recover is kill it through task manager.  Doesn't appear to be a codec issue since the first video plays fine.  What is the issue that would cause it to freeze when I scroll to the next game in the list.  Note, this does not happen if I change the video preview to just a snapshot preview - definitely something to do with the aVI files.  Help!

Had this problem. Had to install MaLa1.62betaA that is updated with a new video player.

Conclusion Mala 1.05 just sucks balls.  :soapbox:

Thanks for the info - I'll give it a try when I make it back to the house.  Hopefully that'll solve the problem
