Loading Hoster Twice???

[WaltR]

The other day, I accidently opended hoster twice. It actually worked out pretty good. I had two different playlist and could alternate between them. Has anyone ever done this and is there any problems with this idea?

I have had as many as 5 open with different playlist, but do a one man show, not karaoke. Works great for me for the last 6 years with no problem.
I read where people use different programs to play break music and always wondered why they just didn't open another Hoster screen with their break music on it. A click of the mouse and you are there.

At one point Admin was thinking about limiting Hoster to one copy running at a time, but we (beta testers) talked him out of it. The biggest problem you would have is if you overlap music from the two as they are both using the same sound card.

Most Of the time I Had 6 playlist open, one for general public, 3 for the show hosts ( Individual playlist ) and my own playlist and one for regulars. I could play it non-stop without problem on 3.4 (3.321) But Have not tried on 4.09 because my show computer is old, but still working flawless. My back-up computer(laptop) has 4.09 but have not subjected to this kind of Shows. Have done a mocked show with 3 playlist open so far it work okey, but like I said have not tried for the whole evening b'cause show computer still working flawless without any problem. (so, why change it if ain't broke. )

How do you keep the Lyrics on the Singers' Display while viewing another instance of Hoster? As soon as I click on the other Hoster just to view it, then Graphics disappear on the singer What am I missing?

I could never do it, that's why I think most of us avoid doing(running two instances)that.

In fooling around with hoster, I have had Windows Media playing at the same time as hoster (one sound card). I even played a song from hoster and tried to sync the karaoke version with the original that was playing with Windows Media. It worked pretty good. Just playing around trying to find the limitations. As Clint Eastwood said, " A man has to know his limits!"

Thanks Guys,
