MM 3.0.0.1105 freezes, not downloaded podcasts [F4051]

Post by PolarBear2k »

Hi,

When I click on a podcast subscription i get a list of the podcasts that I have downloaded and the available podcasts that I can download. The ones that I have not downloaded are grayed out. When I try to play an un-downloaded podcast MM just skips to another track within the subscription and when it cannot play that one it jumps to another and so on. If I click pause to stop, MM freezes. Clicking on X displays the End Program dialog. I'm running Windows XP SP2.

I cannot reproduce, it is expected to skip the track, but only in the case it cannot be played, e.g. if your internet connection is dropped. Are you sure your internet connection was all right when you tested this.

I cannot reproduce too. Check over this again in RC3 (1109), please. Thx.

Same thing is happening in 1109.

I open MM and go to podcasts.
Select one of my subscriptions.
I get a list of over 100 files.
1 file is downloaded and has length and track # etc details.
All other ones appear in gray and have no length, track # details.
I double click on it and it starts playing, then I move the slider almost to the end.
When that file finishes, MM moves focus to the next file, one that is not downloaded.
The title and author that display the current file update accordingly.
After about 2 seconds it goes to the next file and so on and so on.
When I press the Pause button, MM stops responding.

I can also just double click on one of the not downloaded files to start this process.

I still cannot reproduce at all.
Is this specific to a particular podcast? Or particular output plugin?
Could you please write here the feed link on which you test this?
Thanks.

I decided to do a clean install.
I removed all folders that MM used: main program folder, the one in My Music and Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey.
Installed 1109 without changing any settings and launched it.
Right Clicked on Podcasts Subscriptions > Subscribe to new podcast.
Entered the feed link : http://www.cnet.com/i/pod/cnet_buzz.xml
All the info got loaded. Pressed OK.
Got a list of 133 files and first 10 are queued to download.
I double click on one of them and the Now Playing window gets populated with ALL of the files (I didn't notice this before because I didn't have this window open)
It tries to play it, after 2-3 sec it skips to the next one, so on.
I press Pause and it freezes.

Oh, I tried it with another podcast and when I double clicked the file it started to stream it. So I guess there is some problem with the other of not being able to stream.
