Access Violation (reproducable)

trh · Post by **trh** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 12:18 pm

I found a few reports of access violations in this board, but none described the problem reproducable.

I get the error:
Access violation at address 0043445F in module 'MediaMonkey.exe'. Read of address 0000000C.

Steps to reproduce it:

Start MediaMonkey, doesn't matter if the Player is playing a file or doesn't, click on "Location" in the Tree Navigation, make sure that no entries appear in the upper right pane, click a few times on the "Title" header (or on Artist/Album/etc) and *bam* you'll get the error.

As a software developer i'd guess there is some array access without checking if there are any entries in the array (=list).

Some infos about my system (but i guess that doesn't matter)
Windows XP (32) SP2 english, MediaMonkey 2.5.4.978 Standard Edition, AMD64 Athlon 3000+, K8V-X, 1GB RAM

greetings

weird... I too get this error, although this is the first time (never tried this method before lol

)

I'm running version 2.5.5.980.

This seems to be a different error though, (certainly a different address) to the error many are experiencing with the Pretty Pictures script (ie access violation error at address 0063C3C0; read of address 00000250).

Sheesh, I must admit that I'm impressed, trh, that you found it. It makes me wonder what else one should try in order to investigate these weird errors. (I'm going to try playing only tracks by German artists, while clicking randomly on the monkey "about" screen, typing with the left side of my nose and standing with one foot in a bowl of warm porridge...)

Thanks for the report, I confirm that a double-click on tracklist header when the tracklist is empty causes this AV. It will be fixed soon...

Well, that one was found by accident, i thought i had some songs in there and clicked blindly in the pane while i was surfing on my second screen, accidently hitted the title bar and grinned, when i got the message.

If you want to find errors, it helps to know where you make "typical" errors as a programmer, so the best way is to learn a programming language with gui abilities

(i'd recommend C# or java)

p.s.: The track playing was a german artist
