Hey.

Before 2.4, in every addon I had a massive font listing (including the one my UI uses), and I assume that it's SharedMedia that does this. After the patch, I only see a small selection (10~) of default fonts, and not the one my UI uses. I've updated SharedMedia and every other Ace addon (BESIDES Pitbull/Cowtip so the old DogTags work) so I don't see what could be causing this problem.

Thanks for your help.

I've been having the same issue with fonts and textures. I have the MyMedia LUA/files all set up according to directions, and it seems like some addons see the custom textures while some (e.g. Omen and Recount) do not. Did something change with SharedMedia or some of the addons?

It's really weird. I've not been able to find a way to fix it, and all my addons are constantly updated.

Same happened to me yesterday after updating my addons.

I think it has something to do with the SharedMedia 3.0 change, but that's just a rough guess.

Talking about SharedMedia 3.0, I have it installed but when I look at my installed addons ingame it still says 2.0, even while I still don't have 2.0 anymore.

Same problem here. Started today. Any help? :D

I've had this problem for weeks with ElkBB, Recount and Omen (maybe some more) and today Prat. Mainly it's the fonts in the CF2 mod that's gone, like my favorite; Calibri :(

Calibri OMG where are you? i guess we just have to add it in from 2.0

I just got rid of any previous versions and installed SharedMedia 3.0, voila, all my missing fonts/textures were back.

Actually, I found the culprit. If you're using the MyMedia.lua file to specify custom fonts/textures, you'll notice that with the recent versions of Sharedmedia, the syntax has changed. I updated my MyMedia file to conform to the new formats and everything works again.

Neither of the above worked for me. Aloft actually uses SM 1 so i need that, and when I unistalled SM2 I lost more font/textures. I do not use mymedia for custom things, is there something I should change in there anyway?

Did the same. Worked.

Having the same problem getting my addons that use the SM3 lib to load up the custom fonts/textures that I have in MyMedia files folder using the MyMedia.lua file. Tbh I didn't setup the MyMedia.lua file to begin with. I downloaded someones ui package and though I didn't end up keeping the ui a certain custom font that the person had in there stuck on me. I read the readme file that tells you how to get your own fonts ect work and I'm probably just retarded because I can't figure it out.

Here is a copy of the MyMedia.lua file that I have


local SML = AceLibrary("SharedMedia-1.0")
MyMedia = AceLibrary("AceAddon-2.0"):new()

function MyMedia:OnInitialize()
local SML = AceLibrary:HasInstance("SharedMedia-1.0") and AceLibrary("SharedMedia-1.0") or nil
if SML then

If anyone can help me I'll be very grateful. I'm going to try to tackle this thing tomorrow.

You simply have to change the format of the calls. For example

Quote from meteora »

SML:Register("font", "Caith1", "Interface\\AddOns\\SharedMedia\\Caith Font\\caith1.ttf")

must be changed in:

Quote from meteora »

SharedMedia:Register("font", "Caith1", [[Interface\AddOns\SharedMedia\Caith Font\caith1.ttf]])

Repeat this for every thing you wanna register and all will be fine.

Thanks guys that was pretty simple

You can also remove this line from MyMedia.lua:

local SML = AceLibrary("SharedMedia-1.0")

...since SharedMedia now handles detecting and registering with specific library versions itself.

The batch file available here: http://www.wowace.com/forums/index.php?topic=6063.0 solved all my issues after 2.4

I need help on this matter. I installed SharedMedia 3.0 and for Elk buff bars there is only Blizzard texture left. I downloaded that MyMedia and still nothing works.

There is no "MyMedia" addon... you need to download the addon "SharedMedia".

After updating to the new 'Satrina's Buff Frame' and 'SpellAlerter' my Sharedmedia (More specifically the MyMedia part) seems to have failed and I dont know why.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

*EDIT* Just noticed that only some of my textures are failing, and none of my MyMedia fonts are
working...

SharedMedia:Register("background", "flat", [[Interface\Addons\SharedMedia\statusbar\flat.tga]]) Works
SharedMedia:Register("background", "Hal A", [[Interface\Addons\SharedMedia\statusbar\HalA.tga]]) Fails

*FIXED* I also had Chronometer, which is now disabled. For some reason it was messing with my SharedMedia (Perhaps a different version lib?)
