mm freezing and artist duplicating [#12681]

[Lansluaght]

Hello all,

I've been using the Mediamonkey app on my smartphone for a while now, and it's showing some strange behavior. I'll preface this by saying that i no longer use the standard OS on my phone because of bloatware and performance issues. Instead i have Cyanogenmod running on it, which works a charm, but also seems to have resulted in an issue:

Music will stop playing randomly.

There is never an indication of when this will happen, sometimes it'll play for less than a minute and stop, sometimes it'll play for a number of hours and stop. There seems to be no corrolation between me touching the interface or not, at what screen i left the interface, what band of type of file is playing or anything. And if i leave the phone untouched after it has stopped playing, media monkey will start consuming large ammounts of batteryjuice which will drain my phone in under an hour. The only way to prevent this is by rebooting the device, where during the shutdown process music will continue playing again briefly. So i know this is related to the OS, though it's given me no clues as to what process is killing MM.

Second issuet is the apparent tendency of the MM app to duplicate the artist tag of the songs on there. This also used to happen when i was still running the stock OS. When i open her up on my pc an album by the foo fighters will have some songs with the artist tag "Foo Fighters", then a couple will have "Foo Fighters; Foo Fighters" and some might go up to "Foo Fighters; Foo Fighters; Foo Fighters; Foo Fighters; Foo Fighters". I have no earthly clue as to what's going on, there's no order to this behavior. I always have randomize enabled so it wouldn't be playcount... I just have no explanation for this behavior.

Anybody recognize any of this?

Thanks in advance

Which version of MMA?

You can send debug logs (from the About screen) after anything goes wrong in MMA. If you add the log ID to a Support Ticket you can get feedback on the issue and provide additional details if needed.

Lansluaught,

I don't test with CM X, so I'm not sure... but it's certainly possible that they've made some changes which could affect MM. As suggested by Lowlander, a log would be helpful.

Re. duplication of artist name: I've never seen that, but would love to get more information if you can think of what might trigger it.

Hey Lowlander and rusty,

The playing error didn't happen for like a month, partly due to me not traveling as much, but it happened again a while back and i remembered what you said.

Here's what my phone saved from the error report:

Log ID: VRDFNQZ35C
Description: song randomly stopped playing, screen showed it was paused, hitting play doesnt do anything.

Don't know where the actual ful log is, should it be on my phone?

I'm using version 1.1.1.0411.

I also read it would be helpful if i had information on how to reproduce the error, but i've no clue what triggers it. Wish i did, so i could try and prevent it from happening.

Thanks in advance,

I was on crappy internet, it appears the logfile was lost in transfer. I've got a couple of others, which were also sent during crap internet time.

Log ID's:

Hope they got through.
