Editing Songs / Preview & Hoster Lockups
 

Greets,

I have the latest Hoster and have just completed importing most of my CDG's. About 10,000 songs in the database. I am previewing songs to make sure that I have no bad KMA files from the conversion/imports.

Here is a problem that I can cause to happen everytime at the same time. From the TOOLS>Edit Songs menu I can display all of my songs using the * wildcard in the search pane. I can play the songs using the PLAY button at the bottom right. I then click PLAY NEXT to advance to the next song. Every 15 songs I get a HOSTER error that requires HOSTER to restart. It can be the same 15 songs or another new set of 15 songs, the outcome is the same. Same error and HOSTER shuts down. There is nothing wrong with the 15th song either, it plays fine after restarting HOSTER.

The error is the standard dialog that says Hoster Application has encountered a problem and needs to shutdown. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hoster.exe ModVer: 3.3.1.0 Offset: 0009cc95

Has anyone experienced this or should I be looking for a different problem other than HOSTER.

The computer system is fairly new, has a dedicated HDD for Hoster and files. This is my GIG computer and not used for anything else.

Thanks.

machd, looks like you've found a bug. Thanks for the report. I'll notify MTU programmers.

This is a known bug. I think it has been there since 3.120 or earlier. The programmer had looked at this, and it is a very hard bug to fix. Most customers will nto see this problem.

The easy fix to get around this bug is Click the Stop button about every 10-13 songs before it locks up. This then clears all the Stack that the program is using. Once this is done you can use the Play next another 10-13 times before clicking Stop again.

This is an easy work around, for a hard problem to fix.

Thanks for the quick response....
