SoundPlay can't find liblayout.so after upgrading to Alpha 4.1

[Kev]

It won't start, and that's the message it gives. It had been working fine on a nightly from a few months ago (had worked for as long as I can remember). Normally I upgrade Haiku by downloading on my Haiku/BeOS box, booting into BeOS, copying all the files from the new version over top my Haiku partition, and restarting into Haiku. This time I burned a Haiku CD on another computer, booted into it on my Haiku box, ran the installer, and installed over my Haiku partition.

Sorry, but upgrades are not supported yet. The method you describe just may or may not work. For this ticket to be considered valid, you'd have to repeat the problem with a clean install.

Hi luroh,

I have a cleanly installed R1 Alpha 4.1 and, having seen this ticket and having not heard of SoundPlay previously, decided to give it a shot. Indeed, it does not appear to work.

/Haiku/apps> SoundPlay/SoundPlay 
runtime_loader: /boot/apps/SoundPlay/SoundPlay: Could not resolve symbol 'next_chunk__13BMediaDecoderPvPPvPUlP12media_header'
resolve symbol "next_chunk__13BMediaDecoderPvPPvPUlP12media_header" returned: -2147478780
runtime_loader: /boot/apps/SoundPlay/SoundPlay: Troubles relocating: Symbol not found

Hope the above is useful.

Thanks,
Brendan

That's actually an unrelated issue with newer versions of Soundplay (4.8+). Those use undocumented R5 media kit calls, and won't work on Haiku. The latest known working version is 4.7.3: ​http://pub.haikungfu.net/beos/software/s/SoundPlay-4.7.3-x86.zip

Cool, indeed, 4.7.3 works just fine on R1 Alpha 4.1

Thanks!
