Multiple FFDShow processes on tray with Ovi suite?

Hi,
what are the ffdshow processes that OviSuite seems to cause:
I checked with process explorer, and NokiaMServer seems to be the cluprit:
This appeared after installing the newest Ovi Suite after I purchased N 8.
Would be interesting to know what is happening and why?
Nice to see Nokia using GPL software, but isn't it making Nokia obligated to release NokiaMServer under GPL too?

Yeah, I know I can block NokiaMSever from accessing ffdshow.
But what is NokiaMServer doing with ffdshow? Seems like converting h264 to some other format? But why with so many processes, and what about the GPL?

  • Apparent problem with Ovi Suite and Win 7 64 bit

    Hi
    Apologies if this has already been covered, but i have searched quite thoroughly and i haven't come across the specific problem i'm querying.
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, with PC Suite 7.1.51.0, which runs just fine.
    I intend to upgrade to the superb N8 when my contract comes to an end in 6 months, so i'm just doing my homework.  
    Apparently, the N8 will only run on Ovi Suite, NOT PC Suite.
    Now if anyone disputes this and can convince me that the N8 works perfectly fine with PC Suite, then read no further, please just respond!  (Bear in mind the OS i'm running though).
    As nice as Ovi Suite is, i've managed just fine so far with PC Suite.
    Otherwise, please let me explain the problem i am having:
    I installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.  When i run it, it shows the main screen, and you can just make out a small window appearing in the middle saying "Nokia OVI".
    It is then that the program stops responding, eventually displaying the error message which reads:
    Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\...
    This appication has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
    Please contact the appication's support team for more information.
    Judging by the similar stories of Ovi crashing (not finding one where the program fails to open, though), i think it is related to the fact that i'm running Win 7 64 bit; but i could be wrong.
    I have tried installing it in compatibility mode, then (failing that), running it in compatibility mode, all to no avail.
    Is this a problem that Nokia know about?  If there is an intended fix within 6 months, then that'll be fine.
    Otherwise, do any of you clever people know any work-arounds?
    Any further questions you need to ask, please don't hesitate.
    Many thanks

    Pinpointing the problem may be very difficult as Ovi-Suite appears to be extremely unpredictable.and getting Ovi-suit tu run an sync properly seems to be largely a matter of luck.
    I have just set-up three brand new identical HP workstations for our Geo-Information Department.
    All were set up from the same disk image with only Win 7 Pro Office 2010, then directly Ovi-Suite as our Geo-Information guys insisted on Nokia handsets against our advice.
    On one, machine Ovi-Suite crashed on launch and was unable to run at all.
    on the second, Sync to OL 2010 failed consistently.
    ont the third, everything ran fine with an N97 but an N8 was not recognized
    So i got curious and run tests on one machine: I installed the same disk image a total of six times (clean win7-64, clean Office 2010 3 times, Office 2003 three times)
    Office 2010
    the first time i had the crash on launch, second time OL2010 sync fail, third time it ran ok.
    Office 2003
    First time notes sync failed, second and third time all was ok.
    So the issue is definitely with Ovi-Suite and it appears to be pure luck whether is runs or not and if it runs at all, whether it syncs or not.
    Syncing OL 2010 seems to be much trouble prone than OL2003, 64bit appears to be much less stable than 32, onb win 7 it seems to have slightly fewer issues than on XP.
    We have NO issues with any other sync software (Palm, BB, Fruit, S-E, Microsoft, even Nokia PC-Suite).
    None of the software is run with admin privileges (as we just do not give admin rights to users). If software requires admin rights to be installed, it is done by Data Center employees.
    I'm afraid one's best bet to get Ovi-Suite running is trial and error, or if  the handset supports it, use PC-Suite, which is what we do.
    Ovi-suite users, according to our logs, generate over 70% of our smart phone related support calls, even though they are only 6% of our smart phone user base.
    As a result, we currently have all Nokia handsets that do not work with PC-Suite and require Ovi-Suite blacklisted in our organization, meaning we won't support them in any way. Installation of any flavor of Ovi-Suite is prohibited on user PCs as long as it does not become more stable, reliable and less of a resource hog.
    Ever seen a black lemon? They turn black when they rot. My N97 is black. 'nuff said

  • How to Sync N9 with Ovi Suite!

    N9 and ovi suite can Sync!
    I have Just Found This Website showing how to sync N9 with Ovi Suite!. I have just tried it and it works great, calendar, contacts etc.
    Here's the link, please follow the instructions correctly:
    http://mynokiablog.com/2011/11/01/nokia-suite-updated-to-v3-2-98-0-ovi-suite-sync-with-n9/

    I have found the root cause for the crash of Nokia Suite 3.2.100 while synchronizing N9 calendar with Outlook
    Basically Outlook synchronization with N9 is working for contacts, gallery, messages, notes.
    I had the situation that calendar synchronization ended in crash of the Nokia Suite. The root cause was that after first synchronization some time ago a new calendar PC-SYNC was created on the N9. Due to whatever reason this calendar caused a conflict during the synchronization and the Nokia Suite crashed.
    I have deleted this calendar on the N9 and tried to synchronize the Original N9 calendar again..... and it worked.... Now again there is a new PC-SYNC available on the N9 but it doesn't cause problems anymore... Synced N9 calendar with Outlook several times and the crash didn't reoccur....
    Looks like the issue is solved now :-)

  • Can I sync two Nokia phones with Ovi Suite?

    I have 2 different Nokia phones. I'd like to save my data to my PC, so I've just downloaded and installed Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
    When I connected the second phone successfully, there was a green link that said something like "Get tips on syncing several phones with Ovi Suite". However when I clicked there, nothing happened.
    When I click "Help->Nokia Ovi Suite Help" on the toolbar, nothing happens, no help tips.
    The first phone synced all 82 photos and Contacts and messages to Ovi Suite.
    I created a new album with that phone's name, and dragged those pictures from "All"  to the new album, to try & keep them organized.
    When I connected the second phone all of the Contacts synced (there were a lot) and now they are mixed in with the contacts from the first phone. However the photos would not sync. Then a few photos synced, making a total of 156 shown in All (which included the 82 photos from the first phone). When I would click "Sync" nothing visible happened.
    But I did see the photos from the second phone on the PC. I did drag them from the PC into the album created with the name of the second phone.
    Now when I look at the photo album with the first phone's name, it says "You have no photos or videos in this album, Drag photos and videos to this album." Yikes! But they are still on my PC.
    This is very confusing. I agree with the others, Nokia PC Suite worked well, Ovi Suite seems very confused.
    Is any of this uploaded to my online Ovi account?
    Thanks for your advice.

    ronni333 & boing,
    Somewhere on the nokia ovi website it says you need to use seperate windows logins. Have one login for work and use that when you use ovi to sync your work phone. Other login to sync your personal phone. I lost the link to that webpage, but that is about all it said.
    ronni333 - I also had problem with ovi help, the link appeared to be empty. I was using Google Chrome to surf the net. Problem solved by using Internet Explorer instead.
    Hope this info helps you guys.
    Cheers,

    Although with the messages it works ok.

  • C5-00 No connection with ovi suite possible

    Since 4 weeks I attempt to connect my new purchased mobile with ovi suite. I tried every version to connect but without success of chance to get in to ovi suite.  I have Vista SP2 and used last release  ovi suite 3.0.0.290
    Each time of several installations and new set up of my PC-system I get the message from ovi suite: No device connected.
    Also I used the correct USB-cable 101 and cable driver which has been installed on my PC during installation of ovi suite.  I set up my C5-00 device for connection USB-PC-Suite.
    Does every body have a advise what is to do. Never I had such huge problems with a mobile software. I suppose finally there is a software problem within of ovi suit data.
    Would highly appreciate to get advises from Nokia support or other members.
    Regards,

  • N97 mini: Can't transfer music with ovi suite!

    Someone please help! every time i try and transfer music with ovi suite it says "can't read tracks"  anyone know how to fix this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Depending on how much time you want to spend, there are a couple of methods. Before putting music on phone, get it up in Windows media player, then drag and drop album art onto the album picture at left hand side of screen. Then right click on a track and select advanced  tag editing, and click pictures, the photo you drag and dropped should be there. If you want individual pictures for each track you can add from here ( but you would need to do this on phone also.
    On the phone select an album, select options, select album art, select change, pick a picture (the album cover) select ok, ok wait and thats it. You also have album art choice in the options of each individual track, but will need more photo's in gallery to use different ones.
    Good Luck
    ps Kudos is quite a cheap comodity !

  • Nokia 5230 Cannot Sync with Ovi Suite

    Every time I connect my phone to my computer to sync up  with Ovi Suite and click on sync, it doesn't sync and a message pops up to tell me to reconnect or fix the Bluetooth. This has been happening to me ever since I got the phone 3 months ago and only once have I properly synced up my phone with my music (which now doesn't work either and doesn't pick up on the files on my memory card that I added through syncing with Ovi Suite, and every time I connect with the setting of mass storage it tells me I don't have enough room or shows the files ) I would like to restore it to the original factory settings but I have some important files on my phone that I would like to back up before I do that.

  • How to reinstall firmwares with ovi suite?

    Hi to all,
    it's a little time i'm wondering how to reinstall a firmware on my nokia 5800. i think it has many problems (i.e. when i try to attach a note to a calendar event, the application crashes); but i can't find the way to do this with ovi suite.
    any suggestions? 

    Just checked for my Nokia 5800xm for which the Firmware was updated by me and Nokia X3-00 for which it was never done... and see the difference...
    @ pavilion_alex BTW I re-read your post.. and you have mentioned that you have successfully updated and not re-installed...

  • Problems with OVI Suite, in under 24 hours...

    I recently upgraded my Nokia software to OVI 2, or whatever its called. I will admit, it does look a bit better than the previous version, seems a bit nicer to use, and I like the fact that music, syncing and updating, is all now done from the same application.
    Its about time I didn't have to have 3 separate applications installed for my one cellphone.
    But I am having problems.
    1. I use my phone to connect to the web, and within the first few minutes I was notified that OVI 2 has stopped working, and needs to close etc. I mean, I hardly used the app, and it crashes just from connecting to the web!?
    2. I did a software update for my E63, and halfway through the update, OVI threw up an error and said the device was disconnected. I was nowhere near the USB cable. Thankfully, the software update must have completed, because the phone restarted, and when I checked my software version it was up to 2.00.21.
    3.  So, I unplugged the phone, plugged it back in to restore my contacts, etc. which worked fine, except I don't have any contacts. Why did the calender entries restore, but not the contacts? Luckily, I have all my numbers saved on my SIM anyways, so I just copied them from there.
    Did I do something wrong during the backup/restore?
    4.  As I write this now, I thought I'd plug my phone in, and just check if I could do the restore again, but the phone no longer comes up with that selection menu allowing me to select PC Suite. I decided to restart my phone.
    It has now frozen on the screen where you enter your PIN.
     *sigh*

    Hi,
    OK, I have not had any problems since the incident, rebooted my computer and my cellphone, and now both are working. Maybe there was just something wrong in the update process. Will let you guys know if I have any more problems.

  • E90 Communicator with Ovi Suite

    To enjoy the convinience of manupulating my E90 Communicator contents from my PC, I connect my phone through Ovi Suite. The messaging icon however indicates that I have 18 unread messages but I have read all my messages. How do I clear the unread mesages count (the number that appears on the right hand corner of the envelope icon for messaging)?

    Hi numann
    I'm sorry for not being clear, I shall try to help if I can.
    PC Suite or Ovi Suite will not be able to handle all the numbers in the way you require them too unless they work better than they used to!
    I don't need the contacts I previously had to have because I am sort of retired but even during the heights of my business I never needed so many contacts on my phone (less than 150 for sure) - this was always my personal preference because I did not want the whole world being able to contact me on mobile 24/7, all but current clients and the most trusted could leave messages elsewhere.
    I do come from a pre mobiles-do-everything era and so my views on being contactable non stop may sound and be rather old fashioned and if I needed to contact someone I would find other means of finding the number, such as texting or phoning someone who could give me the number anyway. Same with mutliple addresses and so forth.
    Having said that if I did have multiple numbers or even use the phone to keep notes then I would simply set up the same company or person as a seperate entity and give entries a certain prefix. Yes, I am a dinosaur !!!
    However non of that helps you and I'm sorry but I don't know the answers, may be some others here do, I hope so. A friend of mine uses an E90 (or used to do) but I can't get hold of the guy to ask.

  • Can I sync all the contact info with Ovi Suite 3.0...

    Hi!
    Is there a way to sync all my contact info from my N900?
    For example I have Skype, Google Talk and jabber account linked to almost all of my contacts, but I can not see or edit them from the Nokia Ovi Suite.
    I'm afraid that I will loose some contact information, if I use the syncing more + now it messed up with my contact in my phone and created multiple instances of some persons.

    Hi,
    FieldPoint Explorer is no longer used to configure FieldPoint systems. However, I do not think that the configuring your system in FieldPoint Explorer is causing the error.
    FieldPoint systems are now setup in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX).  Information on setting up FieldPoint systems in MAX can be found in the MAX help under: Installed Products>> FieldPoint. Also, I recommend upgrading to the latest FieldPoint driver and version of MAX.  The FieldPoint VI's will be slightly different when you upgrade, so there is a good chance that this will eliminate the error.

    @amartyno,
    Could you please try the following steps, hopefully that helps:
    In fact the problem seems to be a windows 7 registry problem. In the end I found the solution here (on a post related to itunes - but if anyone interested follows the thread they'll see that moving to the latest version of itunes presents exactly the same hang as trying to intall OVI - http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/f4dd5033-9bcb-4788-b100-5e98bd80f...)
    If you can't be bothered to follow the link/read the entire post - what you have to do is:
    1) Open regedit and replace the following value:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)
    2) Reboot

  • Making a call with OVI Suite

    With PC-Suite and a 6120c hooked via usb i could make a call from the contact list, and i could receive notifications about incoming call. I don't seem to find the same feature in Ovi Suite. It is just me or is it missing?

    Yes, that rite. That feature is not there in Ovi Suite anymore... However it seems that PC Suite version 7.1.30.9 might support N8 device. I heard from one of my friends that even 7.1.51.0 the latest also works with their N8.
