... I hope you also tried Alt-9 ...

Did not, yet but I guess this will then be 9 times 1.5dB?

Which is....ehhh 13.5dB?  scratching

Wow. If it works for you than now it must work for totally everyone ! haha

I do hope it does for everyone...innocent

More than 1.5dB steps ? ah, try Alt-4 followed by Alt-d to go down 6dB in one step (ok, two of course).

Alt-4 giving 6dB? That is then 4x 1.5dB? Where is the logic in that...  Wink

Btw, I'm always careful with applying two commands in a row, although all is made for it (this is your RequestPending thing).

Alt-4+U works well though (holding the Alt key with hardly any pause between 4 and U) so for my system this works way better than expected. I now only have to wait for about 2-3 seconds and the volume has changed... Happy

Quote
Btw, notice that you can now use the OSD Running Time quite safe again...

I have the monitor turned off during unattended so it will only be a black screen or showing XX otherwise.

But for other people it could be very helpfull.

Next thing to try will be the 16x upsampling but for that to work I'll need an upgrade first...

...finally works for me!!

Thanks! Even in attended I can now normally change the volume using the slider (that did not work for me either during playback).

One question though, how can I adjust the volume using bigger steps than 1.5dB in unattended mode? I can't find it back on this forum if possible...

Since it takes a few seconds for each 1.5dB step it would take too long to adjust 6dB in total or even longer if a  higher step is desired.

Ok Bert. I will just start describing what I see.

Thanks, then at least the yesterday tests that were done was not totally done for nothing...

a.
It takes 18 seconds to start that album for unattended.

This is the very first track played after a reboot (as described in the post). After that is takes only a few seconds (even with SFS set back to 500 again).

Quote
Well, at least I am able to explain now what actually goes wrong...

Great, then we only need a solution for this and the existing problem is solved.

Good to know that this is not a problem I've created myself being a "user" not restricted by any knowledge whatsoever.

I hope you'll find the solution for this situation soon...

Okay, new tests and related remarks...

My guess it is all related to Hotkey itself (not the coverart!).

Okay, PC rebooted, checked Log and started to PLAY Unattended

  • Same as before, XX from memory and it starts to play but coverart does not show. Cover art only shows at the start of the next track (not manually but when XX starts to play the next track when the first one ended).
  • Alt-U and nothing happens but looking in the log-files I do see that file error again. Reactivity not different than tested before but now logged...

See log-files...

I tried to play tricks with the file "XXRequestPending.dat" and followed what happened.

  • Open XX-folder and looked for the file but not there at all...
  • Copied my own made file into the XX folder but it will be deleted as soon as XX is starting (the program) and then things are back to normal situations as before...
  • Copied the file again into the XX folder (XX already running) and then clicked to play and then file remains there
  • Now the weird part, Hotkey does not work anymore in unattended mode?!

At least I do not see any response in Taskmanager or anywhere else but the file is still there. Log-files don't show any activity either (those are not attached).

It is needed to remove Hotkey from memory and to restart XX to have all things working again as before...

Clarification :

You may recall the last time we did this excercise, and at that time this was about a file which couldn't be found but which should be there, remember ?

Nothing changed since then, it only got worse now.

With the previous version playing unattended never worked as it should but after calling XXhighEnd (Alt-X) and then change the volume during playing worked well).

With the last version as it is now (new clean install of OS and XX) nothing works related to the volume. Not unattended, not attended either (exactly the same response with both). Only when XXHighEnd has stopped (not playing any files) makes it possible to change the Volume.

Mind you that the coverart section is acting weirdo too somehow as you can see from the tests. Probably not related but still, it might...

Will start logging the events...

It would be interesting to have the log files of this exact situation (from your post with the picture !).

Log files? I'll have to check that option first... unhappy

Quote
...in the mean time use a larger SFS (12 would be very ok).

Will do all over again...later. wacko

Okay, covert art shows after half hour playing without touching anything...?

Alt-N plays next track and only one XXHighEnd shows in taskmanager, so far so good.

For Volume nothing changed (Alt-U, extra XXHighEnd showing in taskmanager, gone after a few seconds, no volume change) but also the cover art does not show any changes (-34.5 still -34.5 after one Alt-Up).

After 10 minutes trying Alt-Up once more but after a short while the Wrong Command Error shows again.

No visible changes whatsoever.

Okay, test. See picture for test configuration (minimising possible resource hungry functions as far as I can tell).

What happened after I click on [PLAY]:

  • XXHighEnd dissapears from the desktop but desktop stays (no Cover Art shown at first)
  • One time Alt-Up, XXHighEnd appears in Taskmanager and disappears after a few seconds, volume did not change.
  • Again Alt-Up and XXHighEnd shows again but does not want to go away on its own and after some time a popup message comes up telling me about a Wrong Command. Apparently the first command was still on going hence the error after the next command
  • Removed all extra XXHighEnd from memory through Taskmanager and did Alt-N for a next track.
  • Next track starts playing and Cover Art shows but it does not look the same as before (volume part shows ".0")

I wanted to make a screendump of the shown Cover Art but I am not able to have XX to show me any covert art at all again (as background).

Even after rebooting et all, no more coverart to be seen at unattended?

Anything else you want me to check?

Just back from a nice bicycle tour... heat

Quote from: PeterSt
But a question in between the lines : did you alter your XX.ahk config file ? and do you now indeed use the latest version, as it came with 0.9z-6 ?

Same file as it came with 0.9z-6, nothing changed in it myself. Did that before to remove that "path" message, it's not there with the new version so no need to change anything...  Happy

Will test the situation as suggested in a few minutes. I'll be back.

Bert, since you have it as you have it - and then mainly referring to Unattended :

When you change the volume (just ONE time Alt-U/D and *only Unattended pleas) and you observe TaskManager; How long do you see XXHighEnd being in there (if at all) ?

From memory (attended and unattended) it is always there (at attended 2x XXHighEnd). Even when the player is stopped or turned off it remains there all the time (unless I kill the process with taskmanager).

But I will test unattended again with Taskmanager in the background...

312  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: SFS Privileges on: September 25, 2011, 11:54:42 am

I have reinstalled W7 vanilla and XX now I can just about get SFS 100 with SC also the volume control OK.


What do you mean by OK? Does it work always as it should at attended playback and at unattended playback or only when the player is stopped?

For me it only works when I don't play anything. For the rest I can see the slider go up or down and then a green bar shows (will always be like this until I stop the player without having actually changed the audible volume). This is at attended (unattended probably too but then I can't see anything) but also with minimized OS and also with SFS at 0,2 ( and mixed, mixed SC or SC).

Nothing changes the behaviour of the volume control, it simply does not work here for me.

Must be something else in the software turning off something during playback or generating a never ending loop stalling this functionality to adjust the volume during playback?

313  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your questions about the PC -> DAC route / Re: Best USB cable between PC and NOS1? on: September 21, 2011, 04:09:55 pm
Hi Pedal,

http://www.shop.bt.com/content/uni2/documentation/4ppw/belkin_network_hub.pdf

I have used this one before with another DAC and it seems to be USB2.0. I never found it slow and worked well...

Not sure if it is compatible with the NOS1 USB DAC though as I can't test that myself.

At least it is a lot cheaper than the one you've found... ;-)

Problem will be the network activity though...

314  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: SFS Privileges on: September 19, 2011, 04:43:34 pm
Can it be so that the differences in the two situations are about Pro (more SFS) vs. Ultimate (less) ?

I am not using Ultimate but Pro and I can get it up to 500 (including fresh reboot) without a problem. 510 was too much but if once played unattended and minimised then even 550 was not a problem but rebooting will this then give the SFS error again...

I use this PC with a clean OS (not any update whatsoever) and for XX only.

- Run as Admin is not necessary and can even create problems (depending on the OS). Shut off UAC should always be ok and sufficient.

Huh? This is new to me...what am I missing?
