Don't wipe out anything yet. That destroys the evidence we might need to solve the crime!  Could you perhaps attach a screen shot of the Options panel?

I will try to reproduce the situation on my system. I have made changes in that area of the code, so I might have broken something.

Oh by the way, I assume default changer is set to cx995v, right?

And you are correct, Alternate IR is a "Pro" feature, which we can discuss later after getting this issue resolved. If you made a donation, you qualify for the Pro version. But again, first things first.

A couple of more things, if you are so inclined:

(1) Check to make sure the collection numbers are in tact. For the option you are using, I compute the changer number:slot from the collection number: col#1 = cx995v1:slot 1, col#400 = cx995v1:slot 400, col#401 = cx995v2:slot1 , etc.
(2) Change one profile to an explicit Location / Slot. That should definitely result in IR signals being generated. Just to make sure.

BTW, which version were you using that worked? That will help me compare the code in that area to see where the bug might be.

You're on the trail...  I did edit the Personal Info for one DVD to add a Location and Slot, and (ta-da) when I clicked the button to LoadDVD for it, the USB UIRT flashed and transmitted the correct signal to Play / Retreive that DVD. 

I checked and all the Collection numbers are good; and, the Default Changer is correctly set.  The previous (i.e.- working) version that I upgraded from has a LoadDVD.dll that is dated 9/9/2009 and a AxInterop.WMPLib.dll that is dated 8/20/2009; I can't find a remnant showing a version number.  I don't ever post pics, but I took a screen capture that I could e-mail to you if you want to PM an address to me.

LoadDVD V2.35 Available

- Fixes a bug affecting this specific mode of use: empty location:slot is derived from collection# for the default changer set in the Options panel
- No other changes intended

So, if you don't use this feature, no need to upgrade

That was the problem...  Thanks for the prompt attention, guidance, and rapid repair.  (And please accept my additional small donation as proof; no one should work for free, even on labors of love  ;-)

Wow, thanks. 

Hi Jim,

I'm having some weird problems with LoadDVD.  If I select a record with multiple discs  and bring up the context menu LoadDVD/DVD Profiler goes into an infinite loop.  The only way to close DVD Profiler is to kill the process. The context menu will sometimes come up but it only displays the first 9 discs.  On some records with large numbers of discs (30+) it acts as if LoadDVD isn't even installed.  It seems to work fine with single disc records. It's allways worked before but I  had just added a new multi disc record and the problem started.  I've removed the new record but the problem persists.

I was using 2.35 but I tried installing earlier versions and they have the same problem.  I haven't experimented to much because each time it happens I need to run the repair database utility since DVD Profiler can't shutdown normaly.

Thanks
Dave

Sounds nasty. Sorry about that. 

I'll PM you with my email. Hopefully you can send me a few sample profiles to debug with.

I got the files, and added the profiles to my collection. There are 22 discs in one and 32 in the other. My version 2.35 works fine.

It is with mixed feelings that I report this. I am sorry you are having trouble, but I spend so much effort on my flagship plugin, that I was a bit depressed to see a bug crop up again so soon and thereby relieved to think that it might be a false alarm.

I'll keep an open mind. Perhaps there is something else going on that I need to realize before I can replicate your experience.

I hope this helps and if I remember anything else I'll let you know. 

Unfortunately Dave, my hands are tied until I can reproduce the error. I'm assuming that you have done a database repair. As I said, I added the profiles you sent me to my collection and they worked just fine. When I get a few minutes, I will download the plugin from the web site and install it. If there is a discrepancy, it would not be the first time my fixes got out of synch with the version numbers. I'll get back to you on that.

Edit: Ok, I just tried it. Downloaded V2.35 from the web site and installed. Then I unzipped your two profiles and double-clicked on them and they installed. One f them was different from the online, but I installed it anyway (35 discs). No issues after that. (I was on Windows 8 at the time, and I didn't bother to switch back to Windows 7 where I did the prior test).

One thought: either reboot your machine or check Task Manager to make sure that there aren't any lingering threads (they might show up as dvdpro.exe, even if created by a plugin).

I can't believe that I am just seeing this. But alas I still have no idea. Why the profiles you sent me work fine for me, but not for you. I'm sorry. Maybe you can try the next release, which will have been compiled on a later version of Visual Studio.

I don't recognize any of that code. It may be deep inside DVD Profiler - maybe trying to release the menu resources that was using when switching between profiles. I'll take another look at my menu code - that is, if you are still interested.
