Search Preview Hoster 4.09d

[ddouglass]

George,
Since you haven't checked the Custom Updates since 4.06 I would suggest you do look at it and add any new ones. The one Sam was referring to that fixed his may help yours.
I do have dual cards and will check to see if I can duplicate this. I am not sure I would call this a bug, but I guess you can get in a hurry and cause it to happen if you don't stop the preview before closing. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks Dale!

I do hesitate to do any updates because it is working perfectly other than this annoyance. I know you guys always say make sure you have all the upates other than hardware from Microsoft. Most of the changes made from 4.06 to 4.09d were fixes. Yes some features were added but does MTU really do updates every day and run their code against them? I don't think there would be that many but I will check them out. I guess I could get the updates then if I have problems, I could start up on my clone drive if a restore did not work. I will wait however to see if you can duplicate this. Sometimes I do get people asking if they can hear a version of a certain song and I just usually wait until I play a regular music song then load the song into Hoster and PFL(Pre fader listen) it from my sound board. The Hoster preview feature would be a lot easier as you can preview while you are playing from the Hoster Playlist. But as I say, I can work around it.

Thanks

P.S. It might not be a true bug, but it does shut you down. Although usually whatever database added songs will still be in your playlist, I don't think that songs imported to the playlist from a singers disk will survive a shutdown. It has happened to me on several occasions. This past winter, I was adding singers songs from thier disks and about every fourth song added would make Hoster crash. This could have been because some of those disks were so scratched and Hoster was really laboring to add them, still, when Hoster crashed, I had to re-import the singers disk songs and of course every song that had already been played in my playlist was refreshed. This made it pretty hard to start back up from where I left off.

Since 4.09 if Hoster crashes and you have singer's disk imports in the playlist they stay now. Only if they are played or you shutdown Hoster correctly will they be erased.
I have duplicated it and the error message was something like instruction at 0x467321 (not the exact number) referenced memory at 0x0000000. Is this what you are getting?
No MTU doesn't update every day but there are updates that Microsoft sneeks out on us on occasion (bi-weekly) that may effect Hoster. Hoster uses both Media Player and Internet Explorer functions. MTU does watch along with the beta testers to make sure that any updates that come out don't effect the operation of Hoster but especially updates to those two programs.
I am going to report this "bug" on to MTU as they are currently working on a beta for Hoster. Hopefully a quick fix can get into it for this.

The first time I got a Runtime C error. The next time when I was testing to see if I could duplicate it, I got just the Hoster has a problem and must shut down error. I checked the event viewer as Sam said and all I found at the time of the errors was a Hoster application error.

Well at least it is fixed. Until it releases you will just have to remember to "Stop" the preview before closing the search.

Thanks for you help Dale!

You were able to duplicate it and that meant alot to me because as I commented to Admin., I did not want to start chasing stuff on a system that's working great otherwise.

See ya

gpayne, your email registered in the Forums is xxxxx@sbcglobal.net and your Registered email for your Store record is xxxx@comcast.net.

We need to make them the same as part of our anti-spam efforts at MTU.

Which email should we make both accounts have?

I also need to email you so I need to know which one is active.
