Title: I almost had a heart attack Post by: Suteetat on May 28, 2010, 05:00:45 am Love the new GUI but I could not find a way to do continuous play or loop play yet. Is this an option?
Anyhow, as I still am burning in my new DAC so last night I left my computer on with CMediaplayer playing continously. This morning, without thinking, I started XXHighend while CMediaplayer was still running which resulted in blue screen of death and automatic shutdown. After that, my Lynx card would not work even when I removed and reinstall the driver. In the end, I had to remove the Lynx card and reinserted it and then reinstall the driver for it to work again. I thought I broke my Lynx card :( So big lesson, XXHighend and Cmediaplayer don't mix!

But also, of course, this is related to the "half support" of Kernel Streaming by Microsoft. Anyway, glad all works again.
Only A-B looping for one track currently works. But what is the problem with loading 10 albums (or 100, or 1000) ? Title: Re: I almost had a heart attack Post by: Suteetat on May 29, 2010, 04:18:26 am One problem with loading 10 or 100 albums is that I still get
"engine 3 or engine 4 did not start in time" message once in a while and XXHighend would stop. I think 0.9z is better in this respect than older version but the problem is still there. I tried leaving 0.9z running overnight and it worked through Das Rheingold and almost all of Meistersinger before it stopped (May be 0.9z did not like Wagner :) ). So it seems that CMediaplayer is a bit more stable at this moment when I want to keep things running overnight or all day long for burning in purpose. Title: Re: I almost had a heart attack Post by: PeterSt on May 29, 2010, 08:23:51 am I think this is caused by Engine#4 which still isn't as stable as Engine#3 for attended playback. It is also tough to work on, and even more tough to test and find what happens, already because I don't want to use it at listening.
Anyway, you are correct in your findings ... PS: Don't try Engine#3 for 0.9z, because it doesn't work at all.

But i really want this. I sometimes like to listen to the same album 4 or 5 times in a row. Please, peter add a "repeat playlist" (that works ;) ). |
