MPF MC no longer working after v0.53.1 update on Windows

[Andrew B]

Hi guys,

I updated to v0.53.1 on Windows this morning but am getting an error every time i try to run "mpf mc"

The error output is as follows:

kivy: Factory: 184 symbols loaded

kivy: Image: Providers: img_tex, img_dds, img_pil, img_gif (img_sdl2, img_ffpyplayer ignored)

kivy: VideoGstplayer: Using Gstreamer 1.16.0.0

kivy: Video: Provider: gstplayer

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Looks like it's getting stuck on something to do with fonts. The only fonts I have in my project were copied from from demo_man project.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks :)

I've been able to resolve the issue.

I installed the kivy packages again by running:

pip3 install kivy.deps.sdl2 kivy.deps.sdl2_dev kivy.deps.glew kivy.deps.gstreamer kivy.deps.glew-dev

I then ran:

 
pip3 install --upgrade mpf mpf-mc mpf-monitor

This now allows me to have MC running again,. now at version 0.53.1

Thanks for the heads up. Those renamed kivy dependencies are a bit of a pain unfortunately. Glad you got it worked out.
