Hoster 4.31 - preview song in SEARCH window - Fixed in 4.32

[aznetbear]

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not...

When previewing a song in the SEARCH window, if you let it play to the end, it does not reset the SEARCH window and also doesn't let you select another song in the list, locks all functions except Search(Match).

The STOP button is still displayed. The PLAY button never returns.

Can perform searches but, will not allow selection of item in list. If close SEARCH window and attempt to reopen it may or may not open but, will be in same state.

If close Hoster and re-open, you are fine but, Task Manager CPU usage remains at 50%. Then noticed on Task Manager that there were 2 Hoster.exe running but, only 1 was actually open. Closed hoster and then ended task on other hoster.exe in Task Manager, re-opened hoster and everything was fine.

I'll attempt to attach screen shot of Hoster closed but, still on Task Manager and Hoster reopened with 2 hoster.exe on Task Manager and CPU at 50%.

Maybe a bug but I wouldn't expect many to play a song all the way through in preview.

It is rare that I would play a song all the way through in the edit page so I don't know if I have tried this yet in 4.31. I will and see if I have a problem. I do use the song edit page often. Everytime I import a new disk I go to the edit page and start the playback for each song on the disk. When I see that it is the correct song, I advance to the next until I go through the entire disk. This works fine without any problems. I do this to make sure that the song listed on the disk is actually the same song after finding to many times in the past that it was a different song than listed. Adds much extra time to importing but saves embarassment later on. I will check your issue and see if it occurs on my setup and get and post.

I just tried to duplicate your problem and I could not. Each song plays through. I can then click on the next song and it plays fine, etc. I don't know what can be causing this on your machine. Sorry.

Try running a "Registry Cleaner" & see if that helps.

I do run a registry cleaner and a Registry Defrag program regularly.

AGAIN, this is not the EDIT songs issue, it occurrs on the SEARCH window.

See attached screen shot, hope this helps to clear uo what I am reporting.

This does NOT occur in the EDIT Song option but, in the SEARCH window and then select a song and click the PLAY button.

To let you all know, MTU is taking a look at the preview play in the Search to try to find a fix for all of these problems you have mentioned. Hopefully there will be a quick fix release for this within a few days.

Dale,

While they're at it, ask them to look at changing the order of the buttons that you use to add tracks. I closed the screen three times before I noticed the first button now says "Add & Close." I was used to just clicking on "Add" and leaving the screen open (which I do throughout the show).

IMHO, it should be "Add Track" first and then "Add & Close" second... I have no reason during my show to "Add & Close!"

On another note, my "Hoster Stopped Working" bug has returned. During my show last night, it happen three times...

Oh well...

Considering the next big changes to Hoster coming up the button order won't be a problem. Can't say anymore than that right now. The next release (4.32) is just to fix these errors that have crept into the preview play in the Search. Should be out next week unless something doesn't go right.

Just found out today, i tried the same on 4.22. The same problem exists on VCD(mpeg) and CDG kmh files. So, that features was added but never work on these kind of files. My Quad Regcodes was good up to 4.22 and I have to pay upgrade just for the next version which is 4.31 but it also doesn't work. I have another Duo Code which is up to 4.31 and good up to Dec. 2010. Just wondering if I will get those Fixed features free for those License I have. Or have to pay upgrade fee to get the fix.

Should be out early theis coming week. You are right that KMH files were never added for that feature.
