Re: Post Hoster 5.07 Problems Here
It's the video engine that's at fault in Hosters, it doesn't play nice with other program running at the same time..

I used Hoster with Microstudio to play tracks from a customers karaoke cd and had no issues playing from the cd in Microstudio, ....The crash only happens when you need to bring back Hoster program.... It get's scared and crashes,.... But Microstudio doesn't...

...so it seems there is something to this that has to do with the video engine in Hoster...

What is a video engine, specifically?

Re: Post Hoster 5.07 Problems Here
Bryant,
I FINALLY can cause this crash in Debug. I had it happen last night, and my programmer is ON IT TODAY! Look for a new beta on Wednesday!

It should finally be fixed, and hes looked at this spot in the code a million times trying to find it, but the crash and debug information I was able to get him, gave him the Silver bullet!

The reason it is so random and some never see it, is to do with the File playing at the time. Some may cut out short, by a sample or two and it thinks its done, but its not. Then the memory is cleared and bam, crash! So we hope that we get it with this, and are pretty positive that this will be the fix.

5.08 is GOING to be the most Solid version we have had in a long time!

So far it played all day on my system and did NOT crash once, last night it crashed twice on the same identical playlist. So after 3 more plays, we will let it go to the betas! Look for it tomorrow evening.

Are you saying that the new beta crashed twice last night or an older version? That would just indicate further randomness wouldn't it, especially if it were the same program that crashed twice, and then not again for a while. Just questioning?

I take it to mean "after" the fix, it did not crash anymore...
