Hi Mani,
I'd say : take care that XXEngine3.exe isn't running, and unzip the UpgradePatch over de lot again.
But I think the problem is with the "locked" Engine3.exe now. Heck, I wish I could mimic this behaviour so I can try to solve it in advance of this sh*t.
Let me know how you fare. Peter

Hello Shreekant,
Hmm ... I think the problem is caused by the ._ file you see. These come from the NAS and/or Mac.
Is it possible for you to delete those files (this is harmless, even for the NAS/Mac !) and use Clear and reload that track and then retry ?
Btw, I can not imagine that this is new to 2.10. So it should be coincidence that you now run into these ._ files ...
Kind regards, Peter

Arvind - that popup is fine and not related (well, it is good that it is there). How was that again with your NAS and Coverart not showing (I really already forgot). Can't this be a similar issue ? So notice that you can't test by moving around the data (structure etc.). You could, however, change the Intermediate File Folder as well as the Tidal Folder to something which is not-NAS. Remember, the MQA determination which previously (2.09) happend per MQA decoding itself on the Music Server PC, now changes to looking in the FLAC header ... The MQA decoding just seems to be OK (log file). But the "detection" as per FLAC header seems not ... (I am not really experienced in debugging that, as it is brand new). Btw, I call it a day now. You should too. Best regards, Peter

I will report here once I get one of these glitches. I don't remember the reboot requires a trip to Normal OS state and back. Just want to be of some help. Yes, and this is VERY much appreciated !! Thank you Zheng, Peter

All right Arvind, then I am at a loss what is going on with your Audio PC.
Can you imagine anything not being "original" from when you received it at first ? I mean, you can have been swapping RAM-OS Disks, for example. So with all your efforts as of now, I am in a stage of "this can not be".
Hmm ... What if your first MQA-Decode attempt requires Normal OS ? ... If that is so then it resembles a kind of what Zheng experienced (I did not witness that - he just told about it today afaik).
Btw, there's logging about this too. So if you engage that and press Play (can just be Attended) and grab the XX log file of that and attach it to a post here, I may be able to at least prove that your decoding does not work. But please try Normal OS first because when it requires some install I am not aware of, then it's that.
Sorry for your troubles ! Peter

Peter let me know your opinion on the two options I'm considering for playback Telstar, my only option would be to have it 100% error free first and then see further (it will also determine possibilities). On a side note : that out of memory can virtually only come from the OS Disk. Do you have your Virtual Memory on for Drive C: (OS Disk) ? "We guys" mostly have it Off but we also have 16GB or 32GB of memory. You should really have it On (RightClick MyPC, Properties, Advanced, Advanced tab, Settings in the first section. Peter

Hello Arvind, Image is attached which tells the whole story. Yes, that you now have one track in there which is not what I showed. So again it looks like Preparation for one track only ... (looks, not guaranteed at all). You know about RightClick on the Library Item (in the Music Server PC !) - Streams - Prepare Streams, do you ? (see below screenshot). Otherwise please don't hesitate to do what Zheng proposes. I don't know anything about it, but who knows ... Regards, Peter

Hi Arvind, Attached is the image (3) from the Music Server during playback of one track. We're in a loop now and we already talked through that no playback is required (nor often possible) on the Music Server. So most probably this is how it's done that things get arranged for wrongly (so to speak). Please do all again but now with the notice : - Prepare is ONLY to be done on the Music Server PC. - Audio Playback is ONLY to be done on the Audio PC. OK ? Peter
