Someone tests the Hollywood on different platforms

Post by Juan Carlos »

Why about this question, well, is incredible the problems to port a game or program among the different Amiga systems, for example now I'm working in a slot machine with videos, I'm programming the game under Windows for the IDE, and in this system the game works perfect, except the IsPlayingVideo and the full screen mode, this game tested in my Mac with MorphOS 3.2 and key only give problems for example the environment sounds of the slot machine sometimes disappear, or any so easy as the variable valor as this
Local VolumenVideo, VolumenVoz=64 under windows works but under MorphOS I had separate them.
Also other strange problem with a Amiga font Tini_DIGITAL.font, under Windows and AmigaOS3.9 and AmigaOS4.1.6 read the size 17, under MorphOS not only the size of 11
But the big crash and problem was when I tested my game with my Sam460ex and Amiga OS4.1.6 here the problem is playing videos that crashed the program, I saw this with my V.A.M.P. player but also with my game, in OS4, there are no problems with the sounds, the font with size 17, only playing videos.

I'm a fan of Amiga, I bough a Sam440ep, after for the speed a Sam460ex, after a MacMini with MorphOS and its key, I have a PC with WinUAE and original AmigaOS 3.9 in for them the Hollywood program for Amiga and Windows, I think Andreas that is easy to test your Hollywood in real true Amiga systems for little money and test the instructions that you add to your fantastic Hollywood, because it is a enough disappointing work in an Amiga project for hobby and with delusion to make Amiga software and demonstrate the attitudes of your great Hollywood and the result crashes things that not work in a system but in other yeah.
And I'm programming with simple instructions because my time and skills aren't fantastic (the reason to use your language) if I'll programming with objects, megafunctions, pointers, etc., in this forum I would have to write every day.

End to my open letter for you, best regards from Juan Carlos.

If you have a video file that cannot be played on OS4 and crashes the system, please upload it somewhere so I can check if it happens here too.

Andreas the problem always is with videos mp4, flv, wmv, you can choose any video if the crash not happen with the first video, with the second, and other curious crashes with 8svx, I use some sound of this Amiga format and with Hollywood 5.0 and previous versions plays perfect with the last versions always crashes, the same 8svx.
About the video, tomorrow I'll try to upload to one file server the applet with my game, to test with Hollywood in any Amiga system, Linux, Windows, etc.

Here goes the link to download the Applet from my game for you can test in all Amiga systems: http://ul.to/tajyjkga

You need to provide a script so that I can see the code that's causing the crash. Also, the script must be as short as possible. Do not send me the source of your complete project, but cut your script down part by part until you see what exactly caused the crash. Then put these pieces of the code in a new script and send it to me.

It is very easy, test your video player under AmigaOS4 and several movies, videoclips of different formats.
And about MorphOS, I found that playing fastest the game and Hollywood player plays the sounds and shows the videos well, but with the time 15-20 minutes, the sounds disappear and the last video crash, I tryed several ways with LoadSample, @SAMPLE but in both cases with the time the problem appear.
