Peter,

Tried it, problem persists.  BTW, I'll be traveling for the next few days, so my apologies if I don't respond to this thread during this period.

Thanks,

Kuo-Yao

Peter,

I changed "split file at size" to 2500.  No help there.  I tried timing my song, and some songs appear to finish on time while others seem to finish ahead.  But I thing some of my songs have silence recorded at the beginning and end.  Accounting for the silence in track, I think the timing here is okay.

What is interesting is that when I play only one song, the slider completes its course until the very end.  But if I queue more than one song, the slider DOES NOT reach the end, but resets about a centimeter before reaching the end.

Note that is problem only starting appearing after W5 and there has been no hardware change in the meantime.

Peter,

Error just occurred with a wav file!  Strange.

Kuo-Yao

Peter,


Following probable caused numerated in your post and attached a zip file with log.

1. My computer is configured never to sleep.  Also tried OS disk.  Same problem.

2. I'm using a direct SATAII disk (400 GB) and have not ticked copy to XX-drive by standard. 

3. CPU: Intel Dual Core 1.8 GHz 4GB Ram
   - Using 32 bits for DA, also tried 16 bits
   - Tried "Split File at size" to the minimum of 12MB, 100MB, 800MB same problem
   - This PC is ONLY for listening to music.  I have not even installed MS Office.

4. Don't understand about "DAC runs too fast."  I'm feeding the signal to an RME AES32 card
   which then outputs digital via professional AES to a Lavry DA.  I did timed the problem events.
   - Approximately 25 seconds after slider ends and starts from beginning the "No Track Given Error" msg pops up
   - Approximately 60 seconds after "No Track Given Error" msg pops up, msg disappears by itself and second track starts playing


THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED when I used wav files. 

Regarding computer crash...it happened when I tried to "advance" the slider to the very end of the song while duplicating the "No Track Error" problem.  Don't know if it's related.  Don't have another Vista machine to experiment.

Pls let me know if you need an email of the log.

Peter,

Some background about my computer.  I'm using English Vista (menu and messages are all in English) with Traditional Chinese support.  I'll email you the characters just in case.

Kuo-Yao

Peter,

Any Chinese character in directory name will cause an error.  I can play the file, but when I exit XX and re-open XX, the error appear and I have to press "OK" for EVERY track I had in the playlist with Chinese name in directory.  Note that this doesn't seem to occur for Chinese tracked filed under English directory.  English track filed under Chinese directory will cause error.

Regards,

Peter,

I'm openning a new thread to address this error.  It appears to the unrelated to previously mentioned error.  In response to your queries regarding the problem:


* This is a sample of the track name: d:\my music\chinese\金池\心醉了\01 - 心醉了.flac
d:\my music
chinese
金池
心醉了
01 - 心醉了.flac

* Yes, I get an error with just one track
* This problem has always been around

Best regards,






Hi Kuo-Yao,

1. Please read a few posts back too, addressed to you.

2. Can you please send me a track name in chinese ? Send this *and* by means of copy paste in here *and* a copy-paste by email in the email body, *and* via an attachment and copy-paste in a Notepad file. I just don't know how I will receive it.
What I want you to do (when you have the time) is the following :

a. Load that one track in the Playlist Area of XXHighEnd, and see if you can get the error with that one track only. I hope you can, otherwise things will be too cumbersome for you.

b. Your track will be in a folder structure, like c:\MyMusic\Dance\The Dance Group\01-First nice track.wav
Now I would like you to copy each piece of that structure separately, so it becomes

c: MyMusic
Dance
The Dance Group
01-First nice track.wav

Of course you have your own data, including the driver letter !
Copy-paste those lines as how I described before.
From this I will be able to mimic a music track with this folder structure, and see what happens. Probably I can't deal with it anyway because of the codeset I use, but if we don't try we get nowhere.
In the mean time I will look in the program whether I can find a solution from theories.

Another question : I assume you always had this ?

Lastly, please look at the title of this post. Have that in your reply the same, otherwise later I can't find it back. It should have been in a separate topic anyway ...

A lot of questions, but I hope we can solve it. Thanks for your help,
Peter


PS: You can do the copy paste of those parts easily by means of going to each folder (and in the end the file) and start Rename. Instead of renaming it, press ctrl-c to copy the contents.
 
 

Peter,

I'm using the newer engine 3 as you specified.  Problem persists.

Peter,

I switched in the new Zipped Engine 3 and still get the same error.

Don't know if this is related...when I play a file in a directory with Chinese characters (unicode), it'll play, but will give me a message saying "Error XXHighEnd-00 : illegal character in path" next time I re-open XX.

Also, if I fast forward XX usng the progress bar on the bottom of the screen, XX will crash my computer (Task Manager won't even engage).

Cheers,

Kuo-Yao

You're right.  No problem using unattended.

I'm not using unattended play.  Now when I press OK on the error box, I get another error "no track found."  This problem did not occur with w5.

Peter,

When using version w-7, I get a popup error message saying "No Track Given."  Then after several minutes or when I press "OK" it will continue playing.  Pls help.

Thanks

When I opened the folder for sharing, I mistakenly opened XX from my notebook while trying to backup code to notebook (seemed to have opposite effect).  Do you think this may be the cause?

Hi Peter,

Sorry to bother you again regarding Activation.  I renamed the directory XX is on and changed share permission.  Guess what?  I cannot reactivate my XX highend again! 

Error Message: "Code at Target 306610565282706 Code to Target 246771904085556".  Will this happen everytime I rename a directory?

KUOYAO

Hi Peter,

I'm having the same activation problem as the others on my second PC.  As I'm upgrading my primary PC to Vista and I'm backing Activation Code (failing) to a notebook through the Wireless Lan System.

Please advise.

Thanks
