The error no data and Engine 3 stopt working apears for 4 time's in a row today  when i pusht the left library button and leave the window open. Than XX come's with errors. That apears when the window is open and at the same time the songs ends and whants to go to the next track.
EDIT 1: I just have seen ( buglist) that it is when new tracks are loaded in. But in the case i am writing it you only need to open the left library button and leave it open.

EDIT 2: Maybe just open and closing is the problem?

Ahh ...

Gerard, this makes perfectly sense;
When you leave the window open (the one which pops up after clicking the Library button), the program can't do anything else ... while it should provide the next track when playback is active.
oops

Thanks. Something to solve ...

Thank you guys. Really appreciate it.

15108  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / WARNING : Degraded SQ from off 0.9n u/i 9.0p on: November 03, 2007, 05:56:42 pm
blush1
From various angles it comes to me that the SQ on versions 0.9n (but possibly from off 0.9o only) u/i 0.9p is degraded;
Soft crackles may emerge, depending on the soundcard used (and possible buffer settings in there).
This may start immediately or start after a few tracks playing.

Please revert to 0.9m-1 to be sure to have the good SQ again.

Thanks for everybody reporting this, while I myself was busy judging MP3 sound (which for me is without crackles, but here too others report them).

Edit :
But please note this is not sure; e.g. I myself can't copy this behaviour.

Very nice effort vojin. Really appreciated.
Also, I think you described things in a way which really can be useful at judging systems. It would be "my way" at least.
You must have much experience ...

Thank you,

15110  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Hypethetical case of losing license... is it? on: November 01, 2007, 11:17:36 am
First of all let me tell everybody that he/she is perfectly allowed to respond to this, and all is just open and not appreciated as offending (me) or whatever.
I waited a bit ... but since nobody vents an opinion, here is mine :


Formally Andrey is right in his judgements. Added to that, for him 72 euro means something like 1100 - 1400 euro. Similarly for American people the 72 euro is well over 100 euro these days. With this I only want to say that this is not so much "nagging", but merely a serious issue when things happen as Andrey descibed.

Quote
As far as I understood form the "activation how to" "explanation" in this case there is no way for Peter to identify that you is you.

This is not completely true;

The combination of the data I receive from the original activation with what "you" would be asking for when such a thing like a stolen PC happens, and where this "asking for" would be by means of PM obviously, will indicate that it is you indeed. In fact, this is no problem at all, and the only thing what might be an issue is your trust in that I will provide an Activation Code (for free) again. But I happen to know that Andrey's context is a little bit different ...

What it Andrey really is about, is that someone could just TELL his PC got stolen, that this someone in the mean time resides at his friend, he obtaining a free Activation Code for this friend by this means ...

With the latter possible situation in mind, it just needs that twisting upside down, and there is the problem Andrey expects (from my judgement) when his PC gets stolen etc. ...


Just for fun, the situation is a tad more complex, and Andrey knows that :

Allow me Andrey ... You told me that you activated "a" PC at your work, but wanted the license for your home. The context however, is this : http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=229.msg1364#msg1364, first post.
Now a few things are going on ...

a. Whether you tell me that you made a mistake in activating the wrong PC, or -worse- when you tell me transferring the Activation just does not work (which happened one time before without I could explain it !), it doesn't make much of a difference because in either case I cannot check whether your story is correct;
b. When so much money is involved, firstly you 'll get a sad mood, and secondly you'll try anything to get things right. Thirdly however, I *know* much money is involved, and I can expect anything to happen to gain 1100-1400 euro illegally.

With this I do not, by any means, try to expres that Andrey's case of not being able to get the Activation where he wants it, is based on illegal activities. Not !
It expresses though, how difficult things can be to judge, while coincidentally several issues are going on at the same time, and I am not able to judge all anymore ...

(btw, at this time I am still working on these things, offline with Andrey)

Anyway ... although Andrey expresses his (more or less) virtual/hypothetical problems the way he did, I myself think it is justified to worry a bit about either that, or the underlaying potential problems.
One thing : as long as everything is told honestly, and history can make that consistent, there won't be a problem and you will get a Activation Code when needed. All is about trust ...

I can add to this, that it happened twice that people got in trouble at Activation (both cases were about not following the procedure correctly), while those both people just paid again to get things right (they were in a hurry I suppose), and *then* asked to get their money back ... which of course happened so. Obviously such a thing can only happen when 72 euro has a value of 72 euro; when it would be about 1400, personally I would not go about like that ... wacko

Thanks,
Peter

Gerard, is it correct that I did not receive anything ?

Btw, I myself still did not find any anomaly yet .

Not much helpful, right ?  blush1

Read your PM. Happy
Sorry for the inconvenience.
15116  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: LAN Activation fails on: October 29, 2007, 02:39:12 pm
Hmm ...
Since you copied the whole folder from the originally activated PC ... could you delete the .DAT file on the "new" PC and try again ?
If this helps, it is just something I did not think of ...
15117  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Bitrate in MP3 is a hoax ? on: October 29, 2007, 10:53:57 am

I am writing this in advance of the upcoming (0.9q) bitrate indicator for MP3, which does not workout as intended, or better, the promised bitrates in MP3 files do not work out ... evil
On another note I personally wonder what is going on;

What XXHighEnd does, is calculate the effective (!) bitrate opposed to the filelength and the duration (play time of the track). With this, the sample rate (44100) and bit depth (16) is assumed. Now, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) 320 Kbs (as officially indicated in the file header) files turn out to be anything in between 224 and 320.
Files, officially indicated as 256 can also turn out to be (near) 320, although this is more rare (i.e. usually the effective bitrate is lower than indicated).

I did not try to create MP3s myself in order to find out what's really going on, but is this a known phenomenon ?
Are we possibly hoaxed at downloading files with a presented too high bitrate ? (think of AllOfMP3 -> MP3Sparks where you pay more the higher the bitrate).

Am I missing something ?

15118  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: 64MB limit Engine#1 on XP on: October 29, 2007, 09:05:53 am
Hi Andrey,

I understand your wish for this, but it can't be helped. It's an XP limit in the driver area.
The only thing you could do is get yourself a Fireface400 and use the MME drivers from it. It would be bitperfect in the mean time ... (but you wouldn't be able to alt-tab and back to XX, because then sound stops).

So it's either the 64MB limit, a Fireface, Engine#2, or Vista ...
sorry

You are right at that moment the mp3 loading was above the other numbers. But when you say that you have those errors when listening  to .Wav,  than this conclusion is wrong.

Well, if I have that myself (as described in the buglist) ... wacko

Quote
With this i mean that during playing mp3 XX just stops playing..

Of course I believe you, but now ... how "legal" is that file ?
Would you be so kind to PM me an example ?
Sidenote : AFAIK (or intended) all MP3's should play (opposed to FLAC (as explained elsewhere)).

Thanks Gerard.

Hi Gerard,

Quote
all the songs ends with .00

That's normal for MP3 (in the case of XX).

Quote
The Pic's (xx2.png and xx3.png) Will show you some errors that shows up often.

These are described in the buglist ...

Quote
I have never had such errors when only .Wav is loaded in.

I have ...

Quote
I like to say that than a cd with Wav and Mp3 are loaded in XX.

Which is not the case in your xx2/xx3 example. No times ending at .00 in there. Tongue

Quote
VBR (Variable BitRate) files were *not* tested. If they don't work as they should, you will notice this by a wrong indication of the duration, which goes along with a too early stop of playing the file when the duration is indicated too short, or currently unknown anomalies when it is indicated too long.


This happends a lot.

What do you mean ?

a. I rely on this :

I've had an extensive listen this evening to a wide range of familiar tracks encoded at anywhere from CBR 320kbps all the way down to CBR & VBR 128kbps and I'm once again impressed with how you're processing this format !! Foobar is yet again a distant memory for me .. LOL

b. By now I myself did not run into any problem (including VBRs indeed).
