Well I think I've found what's the problem... those JPEGs which don't work are PROGRESSIVE JPEGs!! When I load a progressive jpeg in uPaint and save it as non-progressive now it works perfectly with Hollywood6 on Windows!

I don't think they're in that strange format, because they did show up just fine in several MorphOS and Amiga programs. I tried with Multiview, ShowGirls, Mysticview, FXPaint2, PPaint, and even Visage under E-UAE

Yes, as I've posted above, it'S now clear that Hollywood6 seems not to be able to load progressive jpegs on Windows...

Sorry, somehow missed the second page of the thread. But I now also tried the pics and code under Hollywood7/Win10/64bit and it worked fine there too. I'll let Andreas continue from here

Well, if it works with Hollywood 7.0 then there's no issue for me here

Looking at the history, I can see that there were some bugfixes concerning JPEGs on Windows in Hollywood 7.0:
Maybe it's related to this problem...

Yes, that's it

I must say again and again : there are many things in the world that I don't understand, and most of them are connected with Windows... Of course that you are right, when my proggy is stored on C: it doesn't work... and as I have no other partitions on my hrdddrive, I just copied to a flash disk and voila, now everything works ok wit all the jpegs...

In such moments i do FULLY realise how MUCH I miss my beloved Amiga with Workbench and MorphOS/Ambient...

never mind, I will overcome this and once more thank to you guys for your kind help and effort !!! pecaN

Code: Select all

- Fix [Win32]: Certain JPEGs couldn't be loaded if the script, applet or program was stored
  on Windows' C:\ drive on Vista and up (reported by Paul Bloedel)

Maybe it's related to this problem...

Well, the easiest way of overcoming this is probably upgrading to Hollywood 7.0! #justsayin
