Suspect that this may be a bug in hoster 4.05

OK. I have been able to recreate this. Additionaly it does not even save the playlist if you close it normally with songs listed in the playlist which it should.

Dale,
sorry I should have gave more detail I had to press stop which it did just that stopped everything lol. I think I am going to try running manual for a bit and see if that does any changing

I have tried it both ways and still at some point it craps out. just another thing to keep an eye on. Out of sink still a problem also but for me not on all songs and use xp home on show machine will try 3.4 and see if i get through the night clean.

Have run two 4 hour shows this weekend without a glitch. We run our shows in manual and only have CDG imported from discs. Have not had any sync problems since the early betas for 4.0.

yes must be something at laptops end will find it at some point.

I remember that it happened while I was searching for a requested song. Since I have several versions of songs I don't use the number that the catalog has but instead I tell my customer the different brands that I have. I think that I selected the requested song, now Hoster takes a while to upload to the playlist, the current song ended at that very moment and Hoster stopped responding. I think that it can not handle to finish a song and start the next one at the same time it loads a request to the playlist.. Something that will happen to every one of us Karaoke Hosts.

Just as a comment that will lead to another thread, one of the restaurant where I present my show ask me to switch back to Hoster 3.21. At one moment, last night, I restarted a song 5 times, syncronicity issues, with no luck. I had to go back to Hoster 3 included in version 4 which has some issues itself. I will have to uninstall because people are starting to tell me that there are too many mistakes after the upgrade.

Sorry, MTU, I don't mean to disrespect your honest work but Hoster is not working as it used to work.

At least I will have to use my other computers with 3.21 installed.

Folks, there is some great feedback here. I'm scheduling a Hoster 4.06 version today to try and knock out some of these problems.

For those reporting "out of sync lyrics", please give us as much as you can about your computer. It is starting to appear that some hardware is giving Hoster a problem. If we can identify it, we can fix it.
