Yes, it works, but you have to have the latest VM...the VM you are running does not support the newest style of plugins. Don't know off the top of my head where to get the pre-compiled version of the latest VM, but Andreas posted it a few weeks back.

I'm trying to use the MPEG plugin described at:

http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/html/mpeg3source.html

I'm using Squeak 2.9alpha update #2988. I loaded in the changesets:

MPEGPlayerJMM.10.cs MPEGPlayerMorph.10.cs

I have the windows plugin in the same directory as the squeak executable and image. The windows plugin was from:

http://spair.swiki.net/.uploads/Mpeg3Plugin.dll

When I try the any code on an mpg or mp3 I get a primitive failed error. An example is:

foo _ MPEGPlayer playFile: 'test1.mpg'

The error being:

"Error: a primitive has failed"

MPEGFile class(Object)>>error: MPEGFile class(Object)>>primitiveFailed MPEGFile class>>primFileValidMPEG: MPEGFile class>>isFileValidMPEG: MPEGPlayer>>initialize: MPEGPlayer>>initializeWithFileName: MPEGPlayer class>>playFile: UndefinedObject>>DoIt Compiler>>evaluate:in:to:notifying:ifFail: TextMorphEditor(ParagraphEditor)>>evaluateSelection

The same error in the same primitive occurs no matter what I try even with different .mpg's which seem valid according to other programs.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Do I need to do anything to 'register' the plugin DLL or anything? Anyone using it on Windows?

Chris.
