Hi,

I just recently updated to windows 7 from xp, copied the database across and majority of the songs work - all the CDG and MP3+G but no divx,

they all worked fine on XP
all divx files will play on media player but not siglos(music only- no lyics) and takes about 20s to load, and help would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks

nick

Please try to reinstall codec pack, for example K-Lite Basic Pack:

some success, lyrics do come up but freeze for about 45 seconds then skip and then freeze.

my windows 7 is 64 bit, could this be an issue

done,

still the same problem,
but still playing fine in media player classic and divx player.

when i try to add manually, thru add file (file details), the files don't show up under supported format, i have to go to all files and add that way. still same problem. they are divx extension, would help if they were avi extenion.

i'm running 1.2.39

this is the codec showing on xp

ffdshow video decoder
input: dx50 (libavcodec mpeg4)
output: RGB24/flipped

and excatly the same on windows 7

cpu usage sits around 30% - siglos using 25% of the 30%
memory sittting on 37%

Problem sorted

turned out to be the usb to hdmi/vga convertor was slowing everything up with the codec and running siglos in conjunction.

the new touchscreen didn't have video out, so that was the only way I could get it run 2 screens.

converting divx to avi now to see how that goes.

will post results
