I have only spent about 1 hour on this and all I can say is OMG this is excellent!! There are a few minor things that I have found but I am only reporting them so you can look at them later. The preview box when undocked and moved to the right and resized will cause video problems if it is "resized" as the song is playing. If you resize it and then play the song there is usually no problem. I can live with this little problem. Using the search dialog box and selecting a singer and then their folder works excellent but when you then search for a song the singer stays in the box and does not clear. When you add the song then the singers name is added along with the song. (You may be adding a different singer with your search.) I noticed that the search dialog box does not "go behind" the search dialog box "ever". It will go behing the singers dialog box however. I can live with all of those little things as well. Everyone check this version out. I believe "we are back" as the saying goes. Excellent job and I hope this is as stable as it looks so far. I even got my singers database back after it went missing during the last update. Excellent job Dave!

Just a quick question, since the database will be updated on this 5.3 install, will it be possible to revert back to 5.2 if I need too...

Thanks,
Joe...

Once this new database is built for 5.03 it won't open in 5.02.

You will have to delete the database then start Hoster 5.02 and it and it will rebuild the database from scratch.

But this is what I did when we were beta testing in case I wanted to revert back, Go to your C:\MTU folder and make a copy of your Hoster folder, you can either save it in another folder or in the same folder but change it's name Example Hoster5.02. Then if you do decide to go back to 5.02 ( I'm sure you won't once you've tried it ) just delete the 5.03 Hoster folder created with 5.03 and past the renamed one in it's place renaming it Hoster again. This way you have all your data bases preserved for songs, singers and playlists.

Okay, so basically just copy the Hoster folder too another drive and swap if needed to revert back to 5.2..?

What about the "KMA Files" folder..?

Thanks Roy,

Hi All,
I've run into a problem with Hoster 5.03. 5.02 worked fine on my Dell I7 6Gig Windows 7 Professional system.

I downloaded and installed the upgrade and it appeared to work just fine (with the exception of that wierd source error that they warn you about). After the reboot, I started Hoster and it converted the database. After the conversion, I tried playing a song, and it starts and stops. It does not play the song. I tried playing an mp3 file and the same thing happens. I tried reverting back to 5.02 and the same thing happens there now as well.

It has all of the latest updates, I've followed the steps for making sure that hoster runs on Windows 7, and I'm stuck.

You will love 5.03. I cannot believe how fast the Singers Database is now. It is almost instantaneous even with singers with over 60 songs each. I cannot wait to load it on my desktop machine that serves as my backup. It was going way to slow on searches before. This is going to fix that problem. Kudos MTU.

Don't worry about the kma folder.

KMA files will be ok. The only thing that changes is the Songs database file which would make it incompatable with 5.02.
