MM crash on flac to mp3 bulk convert
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:06 pm
When I select multiple files on a NAS and convert them to mp3, MM crashes.
More specifically: Using MM 4.1.1.18.1853 on Windows 10 with the music files stored on a Synology NAS connected with direct Ethernet (not wifi). I select a bunch of flac files and then pick Send To, Folder (Rip/Convert), and Convert Files Replacing Originals, with the default mps settings, so the original on drive R:\artistname\albumname\trackname.flac is replaced by R:\artistname\albumname\trackname.mp3 (well, not replaced since the extension is different so both the flac and mp3 will be there afterwards).
After a random number of files have been converted, Windows will say MM has stopped. If I do this multiple times, I'll also see that some of the mp3 files are only a few KB instead of several MB so probably one file was not fully written during the conversion.
I tried a simpler test and did the convert but wrote them to a temp directory on C instead of back to the NAS, and that did not crash. So, it seems converting many files from a NAS and writing them back to the NAS again has a problem.
Let me know if you need more details. I haven't tried this with the debug version yet.
