Error

[kedmison]

Have been a long time user. Ever since 5.09 and 5.10 I have had the following problem. I will use Hoster with no problem. But then maybe a day later will go to open up and it will not run. Sometimes it's no more than shutting down Hoster for a hour. When I try to start it again I get the Red ERROR. My songs are on my computer so there is no mistake as to which drive. I have tried re-building the data base. I have tried deleting and re-running build data base. And Hoster will still not play songs. I ONLY get the RED ERROR. The only way that I can make it work is to completely delete Hoster and re install.

I should say that the RED ERROR happens when I try to play the song.

Any ideas as to what's going on?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Roy. I have them both on the internal and external. This problem happens regardless. As I said. been Hoster user for along time and checking proper drive location is always my first "check." Today it has happened again and am trying to get it to play songs on the computer itself. Been a no go. Trying to figure out the culprit without having to delete and reinstall.

I can't think what is going on hear but as you say your songs are on your computer, are they on the c:drive or in another partition or another internal drive ?

[kedmison]

On the c: drive. When working everything is fine. It is only after I have quit using Hoster and shut it down. Sometimes there is no problem but many time upon bring it back up it just won't play. I'm at a lost. It seems to me that a particular file must be getting corrupted upon shutting Hoster down. For as I said, the only thing that corrects it, is to completely remove all traces of Hoster off my computer and then re-install.

If you open the Tools Menu/Build database dialog, in the bottom left payne where it should show a list of all the follders that your indexing, does that list disappear when this happens or is the list ever empty ?

If they are there are they displaying the correct paths ?
And if you highlight one do you see the contents in the right hand payne ?

[kedmison]

Everything is a it should be. Correct folder and location of songs shows up on the left and when highlighted; songs show up in window on right. I even told it to rescan folder. Found the correct number of songs. Still get ERROR in status when trying to play song.

List is never empty. Everything as I said is there.

Are these just songs loaded from a previous playlist ?

What happens if you try searching for a song, load it, does it play then ?
