Title: 1.186a Change WP pop-up
Post by: Tjeerd on February 07, 2014, 02:08:56 pm
Hello Peter,

I’m using XXHE version 1.186a on an audio-PC (W7Pro / i7 / 2x SSD / NAS), playing in unatt. and min-os, and I get (some times) the following pop-up;

Change WP
Error setting the Wallpaper: Er is een generieke fout opgeterden in GDI+

The music plays (by the way, his version off XXHE sound very very good) and the wallpaper appears. So there seem to be nothing the matter except the pop-up.

Question: what to do?

Greetings,

Tjeerd

Hi there Tjeerd,

Is this with Q3,Q4,Q5 = 1,1,1 ?
If yes then the OS has too much difficulties with showing the wallpaper (no matter it does appear) and I think this error can occur. Solution : don't show the Wallpaper (see Settings).

But is this 1,1,1 the case ?

Regards,
Peter

Tjeerd, you can also try change the SFS slightly and see whether that helps (and now leave on the Wallpaper showing of course).

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the tip.
At this moment a have disabled “At Attended” (blue) in the CoverArt setting, and so far this seems to help (with Wallpaper showing).

Uhm Tjeerd ...
And that ChangeWP popup came from UNattended ? Or did I just assume that ...

Hi Peter,

Hereby an update.
I have changes the SFS setting 16 days a go form 120x120 to 12x12 (and still playing with this setting and with “Wallpaper showing”).
The pop-up is still appearing, but only when playing FLAC-files (resolution 16/44,1 - 24/88,2 – 24/96 – 24/192).

Showing Wallpaper:
-   Sometimes the wallpaper shows after a few minutes (the music is already playing).
-   Sometimes the wallpaper don’t show at all (the music is playing).
-   Sometimes the pervious wallpaper is still showing at the moment a new album is starting (the pervious will disappear and the new one shows).
-   When playing FLAC-files the track indication (mirror side of the wallpaper) stocks at the first track.

Any ideas’?

Greetings,

Tjeerd

Hi there Tjeerd,

Thank you for the update. But ideas ? I already told I'm afraid : don't use the Wallpaper (or don't use the 1,1,1 setting ;)).
But a question : Suppose you make 0,0,0 of Q3,4,5 - do you then still see that back of the FLAC album stuck after the first track ?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,

I will try 0, 0, 0 for Q3, Q4 and Q5 and let you no what happens (and listen carefully for sound changes).

Just a question for you:
When will XXHE perform (sound, processor use, memory use, etc) at his best;
A – just playing Flac-files as it is?
or
B – Convert Flac to WAV (with FLAC Frontend) and play this converted file?

Greetings,

Tjeerd

Tjeerd,

If all is right it will not matter - but use a Playback Drive. Next you will see that each kind/sort of Playback Drive matters ...

Regards,
Peter

I have Just purchased 1.186a, and it sounds great.

I get the same error, and I read that the Q settings might have something to do with this. Are there any standard/generic settings for Q, SFS, and Clock Resolution that I could start from which might help prevent the error from occurring?

No, sorry ...
Well yes, set Q4 to not 1 and the same for Q5. But that violates the SQ severely.

Just shut off the showing of the Wallpaper in Settings for sure avoids the error message. So solution : don't show the Wallpaper Coverart.

Can't make it better or at least not at this moment (but will look into it).
