I have been testing my implementation of Hoster 5.01 on a HP DV5 laptop with 3gb ram, Nvidia GeForce 9200M GS graphics, Win7 SP1 32 bit, external sound blaster usb sound card.

I only only just joined the forum and am hoping someone can give me some advice with my 2 remaining problems:


1. I am unable to listen to the audio track of a song that is selected in the search window. I have TWO sound cards; one assigned to the main play list and the other to search audio card. Both sound cards are working.

I click the search button on the main hoster play/control screen, this opens the search song database screen shown on page 10 of the manual (bottom half of page). I highlight the buttons title, artist, karaoke and type in a search string e.g. bon jovi. When I press enter or hit tab I get a list of matching songs that show up in the results list. So far all good. If I highlight ANY one song then click the preview play button to listen to the song via the second sound card I get the error 'cannot open zip file' in a popup window. If I click add to add the song to the main playlist I can return to the main control screen and play that same song with no problem. The song files are all CDG and MP3 file pairs zipped as .zip files. Note I do not used brand or book id's. These are system defaulted to unknown and XYZ... etc. Any ideas?

2. I am using the index HD files function to import my files into the database.

Importing of .zip files went fine and file count was correct. When I try to import video files it correctly finds the files in their recpective folders (include sub folders is checked) BUT they are listed in the import window twice. I am importing .vob and .mpg files. I generate only kmh files. The files are definitely NOT duplicated.

If I just go to each individual folder one at a time the import is fine. Seems to be related to checking the include sub folders option.

Any ideas on what this could be?
