Saving the Rotation upon a crash

[mindonstrike]

Actually it happened to me a couple of days ago.
I was going to try and duplicate it before I posted anything, basicly I was moving a song up the playlist when one song ended and/or the next song began at that point hoster stopped responding and I had to use taskmaster to end it, so i could restart hoster.
After restarting, most of my playlist changed to "seven bridges road" (approximately five down- though I didn't count)
and all the instances of that song - about 5 or 6 - had a time duration listed as 2 seconds. I went a head and played one, it ran out the two seconds and then reset the time and ran outto the actual time remaining.

This is the first time in over a year (and several upgrades) that hoster has crashed.

Hoster is not crashing 2 times per night. Sorry if I gave that impression. It's crashed probably 3 times in 3 months.

Maybe crash is the wrong word. Mindonstrike's post is exactly what is happening to me.

Hoster will stop responding (graphically). The music continues, but the swipes stop, and you have to get out of it. I usually reboot just in case there was anything goofy going on with the PC.

Hey, maybe it's just one of things that I'll have to deal with that other people don't. It's not a PC that surfs the net. The PC is clean as a whistle. It's an MTU PC.

I was just wondering why the entries that we had typed in the playlist weren't automatically saving if something happens. We'll just have to save it manually from here on out.

Thanks for the input. At least I know that I'm not the only one who has had this issue, regardless of what the cause is (I'm not saying that it's Hoster's fault, it very well could be the PC). I believe now that it's probably not something that's unique to only MY PC.

No your not the only one there has been other reports of this

no one as of yet has been able to put there finger on it
if we could get it to do it all the time then tehy could find a fix
but as of yet i have not herd of anything

this thing with the music playing and no video has been reported defore
but no one has been able to dupe the problem

It's definitely not a game breaker, just a little inconvenience.

Maybe someday a fix will pop up, and we'll be in good shape.

Thanks for the input.

I have noticed that when Hoster Crashes it is normally do to Hoster thinking that multiple songs have been selected. (Two songs highlighted in blue at the same time). I have not fugured out how it allows this or what causes it but I every time it has crashed I know the song I had selected was high lighted and another song was also high lighted.

Moving a song in the play list and having another song start at the same time may auto highlight causing the crash.

I am now carful to make sure I don't have multple songs highlighted and I have not had a crash since.

We found and fixed a bug where pressing Shift + the up or down arrow keys would select multiple files. Then it would crash sortly thereafter.

This was fixed in 3.0. What Hoster version are you folks running that see multiple songs selected?

i can ot use ctrl/shift /arrow it will only pick 1 this way
