Problem with Unattended 0.9z4-1

[SlickenSmooth]

OK, so I put all the McAffee stuff in the list on services and processes. Now, the message that XX is stopping services and please wait dissapears after a while. Still when I hit Alt-P or Alt-X nothing happens. My hotkeys are working though.

I'm almost there hopefully! Here's the latest logfile

[PeterSt]

What happens if you let run the "Remainder" Services (so deactivate that button), and change NOTHING else further ?
(meaning : does your Alt-P ever work ?)

[SlickenSmooth]

Everything dissapears.. But no Alt-P does not work. The hotkeys seem to only work when I do attended playback

[PeterSt]

My Autohotkeys DO work when I use them at attended.

It may be a matter of wording, but your AuytoHotkey (!!) does not work.

See here : AutoHotkey Install.

[SlickenSmooth]

It's working now!! I didn't I had to click the autohotkey shortcut for it to work! 

Much better sound! Wow!

[SlickenSmooth]

Thanks everyone for being so helpful!

Hello,

I am also having problems using the Unattended playback option. The message: Services will be stopped will not go away. If I click on "OK" the message will dissapear but playback will not be started. My hotkeys are working as I can get XX back with ALT-X.

Here is my logfile.

Maybe someone can help me out?

Hi there !

I had quite another text in here earlier, but I scratched it for now. Somehow what I see in the log file is confusing, and it can be because of you pressing OK. So :

Can you please do this again, and from what I see in the log file, wait 8 minutes before you grab the log file. So, don't click anything. Just Play, and 8 minutes later grab the log file and post it again. Can you do that ?

Thanks,
Peter

PS:

To avoid another cycle of responding to eachother, you can do the same as above, BUT now press Cancel before grabbing the log file. Don't click anything else after that, but be prepared for XX and all coming up again. It is okay to grab the log file after that (coming up stuff).

Hello,

This is the log after I followed your instructions.

[PeterSt]

Very good thanks.

So, this is BitDefender.
I'll now paste in my earlier scratched text :

To me it looks like BitDefender may causing you problems. Of what I can see this is about at least (Updatesrv) and (VSSERV).
You also have anti malware running, and (SBAMSvc) is part of that.

You can do two things in general :
- Don't run this always ever slowing down stuff in the first place (this is completely up to you of course);
- Prevent from it shutting down by obtaining it in the excluded list. Notice that you must find them all, and you should search for them in the "Stopped" list (see log file !).

In this case you can see in your log file that it is (bdagent) causing the problems. So, put that in the Excluded list, and *maybe* that is all. Does it still hang the next time ? just look in the log file. It is not *that* easy, because anomalies may occur just the same.

Regards,
Peter


PS: Small warning : You will see two sets of "Stopped Services" etc. in the log file, while the second list of such a group really is about Processes. Just a bug in the log data. So don't get confused ...

[PeterSt]

Another PS:

Now we know it is really something "hanging", you really don't need to wait for so long (8 minutes) with a next attempt. Something like 90 seconds could be normal though, depending on the PC and what is all running. Just try to get the feel of that.

It seems that the unattended playback is working. I have excluded all services and processes of bitdefender including: bdagent.

However, I am getting BSOD after reverting back to attended mode via ALT-X.

A couple of times I have got the message: STOP: 0X0000001E and: usbport.sys. Maybe it is trying to shut down another usb device connected to my pc? For instance, my Razer mouse? Though I must say that my mouse is working after using the attended mode using ALT-X again.

Note, the BSOD is not instant, I can work with the pc for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes, the BSOD shows up.

Btw, this is my setup:

Intel core i3 550
4GB DDR3 memory
2TB HDD
Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Version (no SP1)

I am using a modified M2tech Hiface MK2 connected to a Dacmagic feeding my Decware CSP2+ amplifier.

This is the log after a succesful unattended play.

[PeterSt]

I don't have much time to look in your log file right now, but of course it will be something similar. But what ?
What I would do is give all the Stopped Service names to Google, and quickly (or briefly) find out what they are for. Is it somehow USB related ? exclude it.
Remember, you can just paste the whole list from the log file in the excluded list. Then all should keep on working. Putting an asterisk behind a name - like (AeLookupSvc*) - effectively removes it from the exclude list, so you can more easily try things or groups.


Btw, am I completely crazy, or did you change that second group of "Services" into "Processes" in the log file (for the wording) ?

[PeterSt]

Another method could be to look in the windows event viewer (Start - Run - eventvwr) for errors. But careful, many errors may be there, all "on purpose". But they may be about .exe files, which are your Processes. So, put such an errored process name (without the .exe) in the Excluded list for Processes.
This is not (or may not be) all much straight forward, and may need some "interpretation" which is not really your skill ...
