Is there a fix that I can run both?
Stef,
I remember having this problem several years ago, and did finally figure out that the video HAS to be disabled. There is no workaround at all. Spent months on their forum looking into it, tried many other things I thought might have worked, but that turned out to be the only thing. The shortest short-cut I use is on the 1024 x 728 default pro skin from Lady Ccameron; that has a video tab in the upper left that you can click on as a disable/able switch. This is a little quicker than going to config and unchecking. Once in a while I forget, and oops, sure enough: Crasheroo!

However, I'm not sure if the new preferences in Hoster 4.0x that deal with "Hoster priority" may make a difference, I think not, but haven't tried anything with that yet. You may wanna check that out?

If you use SBDJ's slide show (a plugin he developed that's better than the VDJ's packaged slideshow that shows pictures w/o making them too wide/fat as the default one does), at random times even if you use the video deactivate switch in VDJ, the crash still happens.

He (SBDJ - 'Scott') said he was going to look into it as I told him it was sort of a bug left in his plug-in. But he hasn't got to it yet.


What skin do you use; do you use slideshows at all?

Keep in touch as you and my wife are the few that combine VDJ and Hoster at shows?
