media player control black screen

Hi

 

I am calling a subvi that contains 2 media player controls that are sync'd together, one playing video and one playing audio as the audio is stored in a separate file. The first time the main vi calls the subvi, the video plays with no problem. The second time the main vi calls the subvi, the video plays but with a black screen (still plays through the length of the file just cant see anything).

 

After the main VI is closed and re-run, it can then call the subvi once correctly, then once again the next time the subvi is run, the screen is black .. and so on.

 

When just running the subvi on its own (not called by another VI), this problem does not occur. I am closing the references to the players and using the request deallocation function in the subvi, but still no joy.

 

any ideas?

This issue has come up numerous times before. Do a search and you will see the results. Typically this has to do with a specific WMP version.
