Hoster screen flashing on & off with 3.313

[gd123]

Yes, I am experiencing the MAIN Hoster screen having to REDRAW every time the SEARCH BOX is Closed.

It's worse if you bring another program up and, then, click on Hoster to bring it to the FRONT.

This happens on both, MATROX and ATI Video Card Systems.

It, also, takes too much time to add Songs, move Songs, select Songs, and Delete Songs from the Playlist.

Feel like I'm in slow motion.

Went back to 3.312 no problems with the aforementioned.

I only noticed a slow redraw when the Search dialog covered the Hoster control screen, and the slowness was only when a song was playing (i.e. the Preview window was active). Otherwise, redraw was instantaneous when Search dialog covered it and was closed.

While playing and not playing (V3.313) I added, moved, selected and deleted songs in the playlist and didn't see any slowdown at all. There may be some video setting you have that is causing this delay.

Anyone else have an idea what it could be?

i have been geting this problem quite a bit with 3.313 never had it before. when searching or adding songs or bringing another program to the front while hoster is playing hoster goes blank, graphics stumble and then goes back to normal.

I should have mentioned that this only happens when a SONG is PLAYING.

GD123, I also am only experiencing while a song is playing, never mentioned that.

Redownloaded v3.313 and did an upgrade verses a complete uninstall/install.

No change...still experiencing the same problems when a Song is Playing.

Further, and this you may be able to identify as a problem easier, and has nothing to do with Video Card Settings:

Do this:
Add two Songs to the Playlist.
Start Play of the first Song.
While the first song is Playing, click on the second Song, to highlight it.
Click STOP, to stop the current Song Playing, and IMMEDIATELY click START, to start the HIGHLIGHTED Song Playing.

Result:
Hoster will turn the PLAY Button GREEN, but the HIGHLIGHTED Song WILL NOT START PLAYING and Hoster just sits there untill the PLAY Button is Clicked again.

Reason:
Because Hoster is in SLOW MOTION and the GREEN PLAY "word," in the SATUS Column takes too long too turn OFF and show READY. A person can physically Click the PLAY BUTTON, to START a different Song PLAYING, before HOSTER has time to react to the STOPPING of a PLAYING SONG.

Perhaps when you fix this, you will find that Hoster's Main Screen redraw problems will go away.

Just got back from my m8 house and we were able to reproduce
what gd123 found using his step's he outline

only with the kma's.
we could not do it with mp3g's

If it was a imported mp3g with a header wraped around it
we could get it to do it

So if hoster had to read the header or load the header or look at the songs mdb it would run soooo slow
if it just had to play mp3g then there was no problem

It took about 3 to 4 sec after hitting stop for the song to stop playing
search was slow also

Ok this delay in hoster acting slow on a command we have never seen before good luck !!!

By the way we check 8 setting in the unit before we installed hoster 3.313
and we check it after the install

THERE WERE NO SETTING CHANGED IN THE UNIT FROM INSTALL OR UN INSTALL SO IT IS NOT THE UNIT SETTINGS THEY ARE THE SAME FROM 3.301 SO WE DID CHECK THEM BEFORE AND AFTER

AFTER THE TEST WE PUT BACK 3.301 ALL IS WORKING FINE WITH THE SAME UNIT SETTING
