Everything on my laptop was updated BEFORE I installed Hoster, so I knew that was not the problem. Thought it only happened when I trying adding songs from disks while another song was playing at the same time; however, it also happened in the middle of a show for no apparent reason. I tried unplugging the S-video cable in and out and that only temporarily fixed the problem. Then, I removed & replaced the electrical cord & that fixed it & the video came up immediately.
My last 3 shows didn't have that problem, but I also read the Manual again & it definitely says to have the TV plugged & TURNED ON, BEFORE turning on the computer - that way the computer recognizes the fact that there is a second display. Otherwise, it always defaults back to a single display so that when you plug the TV afterwards, it may show for a while, but then it disappears. I don't understand either, but having the TVs on BEFORE booting up has fixed the problem.
It would be nice if you could just PLAY a singer's disk in Hoster without having to ADD it to the Playlist by uploading it first. It doesn't seem like a long time unless you have to do it 20-40 times during a night and then have to add the same songs week after week. For this reason, it's still easier to carry a separate CDG player, but then All singers will not appear in the Playlist because you can't add a singer's name unless you have a song to go with it.
I wish we could add a person's name to the list and then add the song they want to sing at a later time. Sometimes they say Add me to the list, but they don't know what they want to sing until later. That happens a lot!
