Hoster 5.03 Bug Reports

I replaced the songs.mdb, with an older copy (prior to the update), but I took your advice, and deleted the songs.mdb file and rebuilt the songs database. I received the *same* exact results, which is that hoster starts, but when I try to play any song, from any mode, the song stops immediately. Hoster does not crash.

I've seen similar results happen when the songs.mdb reports that a song file has a duration of 0 (such as what happens when a zip file is imported that is corrupt), but that is not the case here. I have Access 2010 installed on the system, and can open the songs.mdb file. The songs appear to have the correct durations, in comparision with an older songs.mdb.

This happens on both KMA and KMZ files. I tried re-importing a karaoke song, but while the importing seems to work, the karaoke song will not play.

This same thing happens if I try to play a .mp3 file. If I turn on the background audio function, it just highlights one song after another, but plays none of them. It continues to the end of the list.

The problem appears to be with playing an audio file. The code cannot access the file and just appears to move on to the next file.

Other functions seem to work, such as editing a song, or looking up a song.

I have tried installing an older version of hoster (5.02.07), but the same results here as well.

Here are my technical details:

Dell XPS 702X
Windows 6 Professional 64 bit
Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 Ghz
4 Cores/8 Threads
6 GB RAM
Songs on secondary 640 GB HD.

==> What else do you need to diagnose?

Hi Pat,

My 445 supports 3D also but I have uninstalled it as I don't a use for it.

Just out of curiousity, what is the date on the Nvidia Driver that you are using?

For Hoster, do you use the Nvidia Card or the CPU onboard graphics?

Version: 4/21/2011 - 8.17.12.6830
I'm using the NVidia driver. It seems to work pretty well.

I just updated to 5.03 and the first thing I noticed is the remove silence won't work anymore. I tried to re-do the remove silence and it says instantly the process is complete but it no longer removes the silence. I upgraded to 5.03 on my second computer and I have the same problem. Am I missing something?

I also just found that it wiped out most of the songs in my singers list. Before I panic someone please tell me I am doing something wrong!

If your remove silence was completed in a prior version you can't redo it, once it's set thats it.
If you open your Edit dialog and choose the multiple option then do a wild card search using the * look down the S-E Set column, if they are set to yes then they are done. The only ones they show no should be Video or MP3 files.

Regard to your singers list, When you first started 5.03, you should have seen a dialog box stating that it was rebuilding your database showing working on file 1 of xxxxx amount. Did you interfere with this process and stop it ?

Roy,
The remove silence was working fine until I upgraded to this newest version. I did see the dialog box pop up but it only showed for about 10 seconds. I assumed it was completed. The playlist that was previously open started up after the upgrade and reboot. I tired to play the first song which played fine but it did not remove the silence. I then checked my singers list and it only shows about 8 songs. Most singers names show 0 songs next to them. If the rebuild hadn't finished I assume the dialog box would have still been showing. Do you think I can do a restore point and go back to the previous version of Hoster? I tired that on the second computer and now hoster won't open. I'm afraid to try it on my main computer. I don't presently have access to all my songs so I am going to have to try something.

When I do a wild card search it only shows about 50 songs. Older versions of hoster had a rebuilt data base button. I can only find a build data base button now. Was the rebuild feature discontinued?
