Hoster aborts at the end of converting to KMA

[rickyrey]

Beavis:

First of all, thanks for your continuos support. I have an external disk with a folder named "Hoster Show". If I don't turn it on, Hoster will put a folder on your C named "Songs", that is what I mean by "Default folder". Again, thanks!!!

In beta testing Hoster 3.300, we have 3 testers who crash when they try to convert a .cdg file on the hard drive to a .kma file. This is only happening when they use the Import Tracks menu, Import hard drive files screen. All 3 can impot from a CDG disc using the Import CD Tracks screen.

So, I ask are you sure you are having problems when using the Import Tracks menu, Import CD tracks screen? If so, we are clueless what the problem is. If it crashes when importing .cdg files already on the hard drive when converting to .kma files, which is exactly what our 3 testers are seeing as you describe, then it is a bug we are actively tracking down.


Please... be VERY specific which Hoster screen you are using. I am taking about the Import Tracks menu, Impor hard drive files screen only.

Here is step by step what I am doing and what is Hoster response

1-In Hoster main screen I select import tracks
2-Select Import CD Tracks
3-It opens Import Disc window
4-Push CD button,
5-Select Brand, Disc ID, Book ID Root and Identify Save to Folder
6-Then I push Add Tracks to Import button
7-Hoster processes the task and lists the songs on the disc
8-I select the tracks that I need to import and Hoster opens a small window called Reading CDG disc...
9-After reading the window says Writing KMA...
10-At there very end of that process I see that the record goes to aborted
11-After that Hoster stops the importing process and keeps the window open. The software keeps working it does not crash, I try to import again but it keeps aborting the process. It does not matter if I am trying to import from CDG or Hard Disk.

The only difference with the Hard Disk Import is that I have to import using Microstudio as a CDG, but again, the response is the same when I try to use Hoster to convert the CDG in the hard disk (ripped using Microstudio) to KMA.

did you try and change the default save folder ??

RickyRey,
Just an off the wall question, but have you imported these songs before? If the file is already in the songs database I believe it will not import again. Isn't that right Bryan? And I also believe that would be true if the KMA file already exists as well.

You can re-import...check the manual.

I have not been able to import a single song from disk nor from hard drive

[Beavis]

i guess your not going to try the different import folder.

[rickyrey]

Beavis:

I tried different folders and different hard disk. I have an internal Plextor and an external one. I have tried everything that can i can think of with no results. I am kind of frustrated already. And MTU told that this had not happened to anyone. Oooohhhh, me and my big luck.

Keep guessing whatever you may think of...one of that guessing may be the right thng to do

Thanks

[Beavis]

i would un-install the software then go to the hoster folder in you c: drive an d delete the whole folder.

make sure you dont delete any kma's you might have then reboot and re-install hoster (maybe start with an older version) . do a little testing

[rickyrey]

I did all already and nothing seems to work. I am getting tired of the slow support from MTU...?

[S. Parks]

Last night, I was importing about 20 CDG's, and about the third one in, after about the second track, hoster encountered a problem and had to shut down. I was importing to a non-default folder at the time. I restarted the program, began the process over, and everything worked fine. I had never had this problem before, but mine did not persist. I am the latest version. The message I got said something to the effect unable to read sectors and then some code, followed be hoster has encountered ab problem and needs to shut down. I think you mentioned you tried several disc and that they work fine in Microstudio, right?

[Beavis]

were the dics new ? or maybe dirty ?

[S. Parks]

They were brand new, right out of the plastic. the problem only occured once, and then once I rebooted, it imported the same CDG OK, and I had no further problems.

[Beavis]

lets blame it on microsoft !!

MTU Support

We have been helping you! This is a UNIQUE PROBLEM. We are NOT ignoring you... we just don't have your answer.

Our lead programmer looked at the code and the only way we can see "programmatically" that the STATUS field can display ABORT is if the CANCEL button is clicked in the Progress Bar dialog. However, given your persistence and frustration, I'm SURE you are not clicking the CANCEL button... are you?

If you have other programs running, shut EVERYTHING else down.

If the problem started when you installed a new program, UNINSTALL it, then test Hoster again.

Are you running on a laptop, or do you have a standard keyboard and mouse?

Give us FACTS... you have complained enough. We hear your frustration, but we can't act on that. We can process FACTS. Please read these instructions on asking for help.

[rickyrey]

Thank You Very Much
That's all I needed a note from you telling me that you are taking care of my situation

[rickyrey]

MTU:

I don't press the terminate button

I am running a desktop and I run Hoster alone because I know that it is a software that demands so much resources from the CPU

I know that I have complained a lot but can you blame me for that?

I wrote to Bryan a lot of times sending him my hardware list, screenshots of the process and every single detail that I see during the process.

I gave you the facts already and you can see it in this thread and by the e-mails that I'd sent Bryan all along.

Any help that you send wil be appreciated
