Media Preview v1.4.1.415 Windows 8.1 Errors

Post by zonetrooperex »

Hey,

I'm getting two errors appearing for each thumbnail generated in Media Preview v1.4.1.415. I'm using Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Screens:

To test I set the settings back to default (unchecked "Customize" checkbox) and the error messages went away. The setting I normally set are:

1) Check "Customize" checkbox
2) Change "Max Retry Count" to 5
3) Change "Scaling Method" to "Luma Bicubic / Chroma Bilinear"

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

It seems that there is something wrong with Luma Bicubic and Sinc scaling methods. Everything else is working fine. I'll try to come up with a fix by Saturday.

Ok the issue is really only with Luma Bicubic/Chroma Bilinear. But this bug lies within FFmpeg itself and is not coming from Media Preview. So I reported the bug to the FFmpeg team. They are usually fast to act on this kind of bugs. But then I cannot tell when it will be fixed as it's not dependent on me anymore. I'll get back on this thread with more news, hopefully with a definitive fix.

I proposed a way to fix this bug to the FFmpeg team as I found out what triggers it.
If you want to track the inclusion of the fix in FFmpeg, go to this page: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3495

Thanks :)
The guys of FFmpeg already fixed the issue on their side. So, I'll release the new minor version at the end of this week.
