Same deal again tonight, but went four hours with 55 singers and one mp3 audio played in themiddle of the show! Didn't use any instabuttons at all, but did a ton of editing and moving around tha playlist, hmm?

Without a crash..

It's the video engine that's at fault in Hosters it doesn't play nice with other program running at the same time..

I used Hoster with Microstudio to play tracks from a customers karaoke cd and had no issues playing from a cd in Microstudio, ....The crash only happens when you need to bring back Hoster program It get's scared and crashes,.... But Microstudio doesn't...

I remember 3-4 years ago I didn't have this issue with Hoster and VDJ running at the same time..

....So I tried a competitors karaoke program and ran it at the same time with VDJ, and had no issues at all... I played all night long used it for weeks without any crashes, this is what I experienced....

I use VDJ for VJ/DJ shows which I'm doing more often now then ever before, but I do have mixed show with karaoke and would like to start using Hosters again..

I've been a long time user of Hoster program and would like to see this long time issue resolved, So I and many other users in this forum can Start Using the Best of both Worlds...

Same deal last night too. 4-1/2 hr show beginning with four audio mp3's run in auto mode then 75 singers run in manual mode with one audio mp3 halfway into the show played too. Tons of playlist editing and mp3 instabutton use, fade in and fade out at 3 sec. each. Remove silence enabled with 3 seconds of added silence before song and 3 seconds added after song. Auto delay was 2 seconds. In an air conditioned room but laptop was not on a laptop cooler and no external fan either (wife had to use it). Again, no freeze or crash issues.

Anyone else run VirtualDJ up on the screen during shows, and those that do, do you minimize it while hoster is in use. I had always had both programs up and showing on the screen with Hoster on top taking 3/4 of the screen and Vdj taking 3/4 but placed a little to the right so a piece of one program was always showing for super quick access. Wondering if all that makes a difference? Thinking out loud again.
