Hoster 4.01 Problems

Has anyone had problems with the new 4.01 hoster? It locks up when a song ques or will not load songs to playlist. It also dose it when you load a singers CD that they bring. If you open 3.40 it dose fine. Any clue on how to fix it.

I think it's a bug I'm having the same issues

I believe it's a bug. I opened up a ticket a week ago and haven't heard back yet, but I believe they'll get a patch out pretty quickly. At least I'm hopeful anyways.

just use 3.40 that comes with 4.0X

you need to go into your C: drive to get it.

Hoster 4.0X does not run under windows vista yet !

alot of people are having issues using XP also !

Videos have been a problem and that is why you cannot import them into Hoster Songbook yet. The current beta versions are running much better now and working for the most part on Vista as well. MTU is still trying to get all the bugs fixed as quickly as they can so they can release 4.02.
Your best bet right now is to make sure your computer is up-to-date with Microsoft Custom Updates. Your best bet is to also make sure you have Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, and SP3 installed. The IE7 and WMP are used by Hoster for displays.

hmm yes i have IE7. Not sure about SP3 will look tonight. But Media Player11(which is what I have) I don't think recognizes it as version 11 and I've been unable to until stall media player altogether and do a fresh install so I utilize divx and some others to ensure that I can play all types of files. But I'll try the SP3. Thanks.

Hoster Locking up

I used Hoster 4.1 for the first time at a live show last Wed. I had the same problem. Twice when cueing it locked up and hosted ended. Fortunately the auto save worked but it did stop the show for a few minutes. It did it again when I tried to load a singers Cd. Same issue. I was then afraid to use the load function so I used my backup cdg player to get on with the rest of the show.

I hope these issues are corrected soon, I am starting to lose face with my singers...

The Disc Import does have some bugs in it that go back a long way. MTU is aware of it and should be fixing it in 4.03.
