Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Bug relating to Windows Media Player 11 and Windows 8.x codecs.

Unread post by the_r3dacted »

So some of you may have heard of Mintel's WMP11 installer for modern Windows versions. The basics are is that it installs the XP version of WMP11 on Vista+.

On 7 all the visualizations work fine, however on 8.x and probably 10, they're a bit buggered. Specifically the Scope visualization. See the attached video for more info. OBS kinda ear raped the audio, so I had to reduce the gain in Handbrake, so the audio is a bit distorted, but that doesn't effect anything.

You probably didn't catch why it was broken for the first file, but the second file was fine. The first file was a .mp3, and the second was a .ogg, made playable by a third party codec pack. .wavs are fine as well, and are a built in codec, but I only have copyrighted stuff in .wav form.

The MP3 codec in 8.0+ doesn't like the WMP11 Scope visualizer, even though after the platform update, 7 should have the same codecs as 8.0.

Does anyone know how I could forward port the 7 MP3 codec to 8.0 or 8.1?
