I have only 1 Pop Hits Monthly disk that has been imported as a KMA. I attempted to run a couple of songs in Remove Silence Mode and Regular Mode and cannot duplicate your problem. (My laptop has Windows 7) Maybe someone who is running XP will see this and know of a fix. Wish I could do more.

Re: Hoster 5.06 Bug Reports
I have 2 computers running XP and have the same audio drop problem, but instllaed Hoster on desktop with Windows 7 and does not have problem. Now I reinstalled 505 on laptops to do show last night and every song was skipping and out of sync. Changed to other laptop computer and had same problem. Been using Hoster since 2004 and have had little bugs once in awhile but they always get them fixed and I know that will be the case here. I always carry my disks to do show if needed after a major upgrade, saved me last night.

These three (with how to duplicate them) are in our spec to address in 5.07. However... if they can't be fixed quickly, they will be shifted to a future release. Our PRIMARY concern is the crashing and volume reducing over several songs. We need a FIX for these now! |

I have added it to the 5.07 spec to address. I expect we may have to add some "escape" character before/after each "&" in the RTF file so Word behaves. We may need your help to test this as we don't have Office 2003 to test with. It's strange that only Artist fields exhibit this, and the same "&" in Titles doesn't. |

In the future, please try to keep the emotions out when you post. They don't help solve the problem. From your facts, and those of others reporting on the volume level dropping, we FINALLY identified the problem! If you click Stop (or Ctrl+Spacebar) while a song is fading out, but before the fade is done, several things combined to create the "random" dropping volume level: 1. Say your Fade Out setting is 5, and you stop play after 3 seconds of fade. The "song end" will happen in 2 seconds. 2. However, the fade out on the Stop operation is the same as the Playlist, which for my example is 5 seconds. 3. Thus, only 2 seconds remain until the song "file" ends playing, but the Stop fade continues playing the fade for 5 seconds. Not good! 4. The Windows volume slider (whichever it is ) was dropping down as the original fade happened, but when stopped it faded no further. 5. When the file end was reached, there was an undefined pseudo-crash that did not reset the volume slider back to its initial setting. 6. Thus, the volume slider was left somewhat lower than when started. This also "appeared" to be a random amount, based on how fast you clicked the Stop button once the song Fade Out started; the faster you clicked, the less the volume drop happened for "that song", which is why some users reported 45 minutes before the volume was 0%. We identified this sequence and the code fix may be done by tomorrow AM. We would have never identified this "multi-step randomized mess" without everyone's factual feedback. Great Job by EVERYONE! |

It is clear that something in 5.06 "degraded" and must be fixed. I have added it to the 5.07 spec to be done. I think this will take a short time, so I currently expect it will be in 5.07 when it releases. Quote:

Slow response with 5.06
I have a number of problems, but will just cover one here. Have a new Laptop and installed Hoster 5.05 and since upgraded to 5.06. When I open Hoster, it takes 1:45 minute to open. The Playlist that it opens contains 55 hours of music. If I open a Playlist with only 47 minutes of music, it takes :47 seconds.
If I change playlists to one which has 13 hours of music, it first says ‘Not Responding’ then takes :50 seconds to open. The playlist was developed using Hoster 3.321 and works on other laptops using Hoster 3.316. Microstudio, KHPro, Vogone and Keyrite all open immediately.

Re: Slow response with 5.06

First thing that comes to mind is are you running an anti-virus program that uses a real-time check of files? This can slow down files opening. When you opened these was it the first time you opened them or is this every time you open them. I also would be concerned with the length of these files as 55 hours worth of music in one playlist does seem to be an excessive amount and would make for a very large files. If the last playlist you had open was the 55 hour one, then I could understand Hoster taking a long time to open. One thing you can try to speed up the opening is to defragment your drive. Even if it is a new drive it may need defragmenting as Microsofts installation of Windows and subsequent updates has never been a clean install.

Re: Hoster 5.06 Bug Reports
Thanks for your reply. I am running AVG2012 on this HP 2000 computer, and also on an 8 year old HP 4000 computer, and an Acer Aspire 7741Z. The Acer and this new computer are almost indentical, running Win7 Premium, 64-Bit, with external 1TB hard drive. The big difference is that the other computers are running 3.321 and 3.316.
I never upgarded all these years, because I believe, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The old programs worked great for me, and the only reason I'm upgrading now is for the "Tempo Change" feature. Otherwise I'd stick with what I have. The play lists are all very big and open in less than 4 seconds on the other computers. Even the playlists that are 71 hours. I have about 80 playlists and have 5 or 6 open at all times. My playlist are setup mainly by genre. I have: 50's and 60's = 71 hours all alphabetically and keyed with the best arrangement of the song. I have "Oldies" = 21 hours, "Frank Sinatra" = 15 hours, "Country" = 37 hours and a typical customer, "St Andrews CC" = 16 hours. I don't have to select the best version when someone wants it, I have already made that decision for them. I also sing and take requests at nursing homes and during dinners at restaurants. I have defraged the Drive also. |

Re: Hoster 5.06 Bug Reports
Hi Guys.
I experienced immediate break up of audio files after loading 5.06, eventually it deteriorated during the show to the point that Hoster crashed everytime I hit the "Skip" button (Ticket: [34400-3921041933]). So switched to backup laptop. I reinstalled 5.05 and it is working fine now. I have tried the B1 and B2 versions - but still experiencing the same audio break up with both of them. Let me know if you need me to test. Hang in there Tom |
