The Music Stops

[Skybird74]

Jim,
So, we still won't be able to use the MUX in Videos?

So, if we play multiplex videos, will we need to use 3.4 in order for our Singers to sing with music only?

Can we run 2 copies of Hoster - 3.4 & 4.04 - at the same time
or will we have to shut down & re-open Hoster everytime we want to play a Video without the vocals?

Once 4.04 is out, any idea how long for 4.1 (if that's the one that will allow importing Videos). Using ONLY Hoster for my songbook now, my Songbooks now contain 6 lists that Singers have to look through every time - my original (last updated) Book, plus list of videos, plus 6 additional lists of New Songs added every couple months. My books now look very "unprofessional", so I don't know how much longer I can wait to re-do them. It's Florida & "Snowbird" season is coming, which means lots more singers..... not just the 'understanding locals'.

We will have to use 3.40 for now.

They run at the same time. Just minimize 4.03.

Once 3.04 is out, any idea how long for 4.1 (if that's the one that will allow importing Videos).

I think you mean 4.04. 4.05 will be out very soon after 4.04 then work on 4.10 will begin.

billyo - I entertained in Pasco County for over 10 years (mostly New Port Richey area). In 2004, my husband & I moved to the Ft.Myers area. Skybird is like my "pen name". It's not what I go by on stage.
Where are you?

Last night I did my first show with 4.04.. Had lots of problems, it ran like 4.2, slow and quirky. For me ,4.03 was a big improvement of 4.02. And for me, 4.04 is a step back. I had minor problems with 4.03. The problems I had last night included, slow response to almost everything.

• music drop outs during search.
• Lyric stop and or lag while loading a singers CD.
• Using the singers DB causes the cpu to go to 100% and lyrics hang
• opening task manager causes music drop out
• doing anything while the singer is singing is risky, it seems almost anything causes dropouts.. like opening the marque.

I didn't have any of these problems with 4.03, at least not to this extent.
My machines meets the MTU requirements and I have made all the adjustments according to the Hoster manual. Additionally I have gone thru the forum and applied the advice given to others.
The problems got so bad that if finally switched to 3.43.

I still have 4.03. Will it load back over 4.04?

The reason I started this thread was because occasionally the music, the lyrics and everything else stops for about 10 seconds and then pick back up where it left off. It happened again last night. My OS is XP.

Hey Laddie,
I'm sorry to hear you problems at your show.

3.40 is the highest version of Hoster that has been released. (A typo I'm sure. Just wanna keep it straight so folks won't get confused. )

If you unistall 4.04 then install 4.03, you should be back where you were. If not, you can use sytem restore.

I hope this helps.
