Attn: Dave HOSTER 3.109 BETA FEEDBACK

[MTUSUPPORT]

I will be testing this Heavily next week, once the engineer gets back and gets me another beta. I could get through about 7 discs, 15 songs per disc, in the .cdg format, before I made it crash. We will get this working correctly.

It happened to me when I was importing from .ZIP files. All of my mp3 & cdg files are zipped so that is all i was able to test.

Thanks!

We have 8 error checks already on ZIP files as we knew this format would create problems. The only thing we are now aware of is some ZIP programs allow zipping with a "Max Compression" that our unzipper code won't handle. If you care to email "support at mtu.com" one of your bad ZIP files, we can insure we have an "error check" for what is wrong.

When we release Hoster 3.110, when a bad file is found, its path\filename will be written into a log file during BATCH mode, but it will continue importing past the bad file. You can then go back and try to fix the bad file for reimporting.

I don't think i have a bad zip file. All were zipped the same way with the same compression. It only crashes when i do a batch import of all 2000+ files. It'll do about 5 then shut down. Do you want me to send the 4th or 5th file to see if it is bad?

No, MTUSUPPORT was able to repeatably create the problem. We are working on a fix this week, along with a major overhaul of the entire code. It will be in 3.110 Beta 3 when it is ready for testing. We'll get you a copy to test your specific problem and see if it is still present or gone.

Sounds good. Thanks for letting me help!

I am unable with Hoster 3110 Beta 3 to make this happen. I have just imported about 10 Full CD's in the .zip format and it worked flawless. The above problem was fixed when importing the .cdg files, which may have also fixed this issue.
