Suspect that this may be a bug in hoster 4.05

[rickyrey]

Last Wedsnesday I was accepting song requests while playing some music with Media Player. I started the show, presented my first singer so I continued uploading requests to Hoster playlist, all of a sudden, Hoster stopped and I closed it using task manager. When I restarted it the only singers that I had on Hoster where the ones that were there before I started the show so I had to annoiunce to everyone that I'd lost the requested songs. Never happened something like this before, as soon as something happens with Hoster I restart it and the list was there. Now it isn't...

I just tried this and didn't lose anything that I had added to the list.

[rickyrey]

I don't know, I am telling you what happened to me.

Anyways, please tell me how to freeze Hoster to see if I can duplicate the situation.

[ddouglass]

I can't freeze it, but I did use task manager to close it which would not let it save anything at that point.

thursday night hoster locked up on me 2 times and each time i lost all songs, what did appear was a list of songs w/vocal that i had put up at the begining of the show those songs were deleted an hour before the program locked up. what i mean by locked up is 'hoster has encountered a problem and has to close"

RIckie,

HAve you tryed using the Audio Feature of HOSTER to play our music instead of Media Player, I had this same problem when I first started using HOSTER and I started using the Audio Feature to add my intermission songs to the show and haven't had a crash since. JUST and Idea try it and see if this works for you. HOSTER is a mutli-feature program make those features work for you not against you.

I am curious, were these requests imported rather than being in the database? If so that would be why they didn't save to the list.

They were in the database. Glad to hear that I am not the only one with the same situation. The songs that were in the playlist after Hoster crashed were songs that I uploaded to the playlist before starting the show, the ones after I pressed play were gone. I run shows in auto mode.

OK I spoke to soon Ricky This happened to me tonight Hoster Froze on my XP System and when I opened another app. The songs that had already played where back on the screen and the ones that had not been sung yet were gone!! Thank GOD that I have a notebook handy so all I had to do was type in the songs that were missing (this was towards the end of the night) so this was easy to acomplish Had it been earlier in the night I would have had problems figuring out what had been sung and what hadn't. So I am going to try in the morning to recreate what happened and go from there. I know I have all the updates and that It has ran absolutely wonderful until tonight. However only one crash (I GOT LUCKY)

[crazycarl]

Mine were in the data base, i don't use zip files and i don't import singers discs.

Ok I kind of have something figured out I think When running in Auto I found that having to stop to wait on a singer to come up will freeze Hoster, this is what caused my crash last night. not sure why this would cause a freeze, any suggestions.
