Itunes on W7

Post by FrankN209 »

Hello,

I'm running Mint Cinnamon 19. I've installed Windows 7 in a vbox container. Windows 7 is all up to date, drivers and such. When I'm trying to play my purchased movies through Itunes, I get sound, but no picture. I've tried downloading codecs, but nothing seems to work. Do you think it's the vbox gpu driver can't handle this? I have 128mb dedicated to this.

I'm using a Intel Nuc Skull Canyon.

Specs:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6770HQ Skylake-H
RAM: 16gb
SSD: Samsung 950 512gb EVO Series
GPU: Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580

Could be... The GPU in a VM is not the best, or most powerful one, it's a virtualized one. Did you install the Guest Additions in the guest?

In fact, we need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
