Crash after 15mins playback

Post by mknabster »

Hi there! I'm a new user of Media Monkey 5, came from iTunes. I run Media Monkey 5 as a service on my local file server which has a sizeable library, then share that throughout the house to other computers. I have noticed that within about 15 minutes of playback on computers accessing the server's library, the Miniplayer will go white and crash. I have to kill the process in Task Manager in order to launch and get it to play again.

I have tested the Miniplayer with a local library on one of my computers and it doesn't seem to crash at all. I was able to play over an hour's worthy of music with local stuff, but server based media causes a crash. What could be the issue here? Let me know fi you need anything form me to help determine the cause. Thanks!

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey is crashing and is running in MiniPlayer mode necessary to get the crash?

Sure, the build is v5.0.4.2692. I did try playing it once without the miniplayer, it did last longer than 15mins, maybe 20 or so before it crashed with the regular window.

Please try the latest MediaMonkey 5.1 beta as it may already solve the issue for you.

After I did some testing, this 5.1 Beta also has some crashing issues, though not of the same nature are my first post.

This time around, it crashed when i was skipping songs using the miniplayer. I'm going to try to use it in the normal view now to see if it behaves the same.

Please capture these crashes in a debug log (step 4b) with the latest beta debug build and attach the log to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why this happens on your setup.
