NTLenn Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hi all, I am doing a show with two outputs. Two days ago I had an crash with one of the display computers so we bought a new one. We bought a acer desktop with a nvidia graphics card. But it has windows 8.1. The other (still working fine) display machine and the producer are running on windows 7. If I try to go online, with the new acer in line the following message appears: Operating system error: -2147220890; DirectShow media error And then it stops uploading the media as soon as it has to go through the first movie in the media list from the producer to the display machine. It has connection through the network, when I test connection it shows the green 'ok' we all love! Please help! Specs: Acer aspire tc-605 i5 processor 3.1 ghz 6 gb ram ddr3 Nvidia GeForce gt620 1 gb memory Thnx Lennert from the Netherlands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Tweaklist applied? Windows Media Center Features turned off? http://forum.dataton.com/topic/1273-mysterious-problem-video-playback-watchout-551/?do=findComment&comment=5063 And preferably, use Windows 7 on a DisplayPC, there is no benefits gained from using Windows 8. /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator jfk Posted May 7, 2014 Moderator Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 ugh, 5.3.1. Assuming you have performed the proper prep Jonas suggests. Something else to try. Open the WATCHOUT installer. Select Repair and Run Repair. When the repair completes, let it sit on the finish screen a couple of minutes. Then click finish and try watchpoint again. We did not typically see Win 7 OS errors when the original 5.3.1 installation did not complete, but we did see similar errors in both watchmaker and watchpoint, refusing to recognize movie formats that it normally would. Repair with extra completion time would correct that, possibly this is something similar with a Win 8 twist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
