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

[OneEskalera]

4.32 is out but kmh files still does not work on search window preview audio.

That is correct. KMH addition is not really a fix as it requires new code to be added. It was a little more involved to do that in the short time allotted. So that will be added in next release.

Yep. We have already duplicated our Hoster source codes to create version 5.x. Since we now have to add any changes into both the "left behind" 4.x code and the new 5.0 evolving code, we are only adding new code features into 5.00.

As to the "Add and Close" comment above, this was added for users who don't keep this dialog open.

In Hoster 5.00 we are making the Search (now called SONG) and Singer dialogs vertical and dock-able to the sides of the Playlist control screen. We compacted both for the purpose of ADDING songs to the Playlist, including click and drag and drop being possible. A Tools menu "Singers database" command will allow maintaining that database, including most of the current controls in the Singers dialog.

In case anyone is interested, in Hoster version 4.32 on my HP laptop with Vista, in the search window, the play preview buttons are still there. They are not grayed out but do nothing when clicking on them. I thought they weren't supposed to even show if not running two sound cards? I have one sound card and this issue existed in 4.31 which I already reported in an earlier post. If 4.32 was supposed to fix this it didn't, at least not on the HP Vista computer I have.

Since it won't do anything then it did prevent disrupting a song playing in the playlist. Try going to Audio Controls under Tools and see if it will list any sound card for use in the Search Preview. If not then it stopped the problem.

There is no sound card listed under the Search Preview. I just don't understand why the buttons show up in the Search Window since I don't have a second sound card. Like I said, it doesn't show up in my other computer. It isn't a big deal. I just posted this because I understood that
4.32 was suppoes to fix this and I wanted to report that it did not. It isn't hurting anything, just a little agrivating but I can live with it.

Thanks,

Walt

Walt, there is a lengthy discussion somewhere in the forum about Hoster recognizing "virtual" drives you may want to read. For now just ignore them, since you don't use them anyway.

When this was first fixed and we tested it mine still showed up to, however by opening Audio Control and clicking ok, then they went away. Did I forget to tell you to click OK? Oops!!
