Trying it here, that stream seems to be fine. Are you still having the problem with it now? If so, please post the stream's URL (eg. from the "Track info" window), just in case you're getting something different.

Problem is with that particular track, other track seems to be fine. |

OK. Please post the stream's URL, which you can get by right-clicking on the playlist entry and selecting "Track info". Also, does the problem continue throughout playback of that stream or does it eventually go away, and does it occur every time? Does the problem immediately stop if you switch to another stream, and then immediately return if you switch back to the troublesome stream?

Here's the URL, http://46.4.76.142:2011/It was ok until that track (Whitesnake- Here I go Again), also next track was ok. I listen this stream alot, 'Whitesnake- Here I go Again' is repeating once in few days, I haven't noticed problems earlier,and for sure I will check next time it's played.  |

Ah, so the problem only happens when that particular track is played in the stream? Looking at your screenshot again (more closely this time), I notice that there is a lot of gibberish after the track title, and I guess the problem is related to that. Next time it happens, please check whether the problem (high CPU usage) still happens if the "Scroll long titles" option is disabled (in the "Titles" options page). If you have another player (Winamp/etc), you could also check whether the gibberish is present in that too.

Or even better, rule out badly programmed plugins by first removing all of them and keep adding plugins until xmplay crashes on adding those files again.

have no plugins other than default output ..
no corrupt files, 30 root folders, 100's of subfolders up to 4 deep, and many files on root of drive, and the only things on the drive are mp3's, ... yes, adding 1 folder at a time worked
what would be the purpose of verifying file content if it's going to try to load corrupt files?

If so, please check whether you can still reproduce the crash (rename xmplay.library, don't delete it ). what would be the purpose of verifying file content if it's going to try to load corrupt files? Well, XMPlay can't determine whether a file is corrupt without loading it. 'Verify file content' will prevent unplayable files from being added to the playlist, and can pick up file that seem unplayable at first glance. |

(in the meantime, still wondering about persistent ratings .. had the drive letter change due to O.S. reinstall and lost em all .. again) |

The PortableApps.com version of XMPlay uses a wrapper around the program and makes the drive letter modifcations to the files as needed. This is great for people using XMPlay from USB drives or external hard drives since drive letters change frequently. While it probably isn't ideal to permanently use the portablized version on your local hard drive, it may fix this problem. Download and run the portable program once without any data, then copy your "broken" library, pls, ini, and your "stuff" version of XMPlay.exe over the corresponding files in the \Data directory, and then run again. It should edit the files to make the drive letter changes. Then copy your "fixed" files back to where they came from. Edit: some stuff is in the \Data directory, some in the \App directory (like the exe). Here's the link: http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/xmplay_portable |

..come to think of it, those few jpgs and playlist didn't affect anything whilst adding the folders one at a time.. I don't expect those files to be a problem either, though it is odd that it does work properly now. Ideal to work with, but hard to debug . |

Do you have the "Automatically check other drives for missing files" option (in the Playlist/Dead options page) enabled? If not, it sounds like that could be what you're looking for. Regarding the crashing, it sounds like you found a way around it, but if you can still reproduce it, please provide a "dump" file for the crash to find out what happened. Assuming that you're using Win7, you can have Windows generate dump files (in your user "AppData\Local\CrashDumps" directory) by applying this "localdumps-full" registry entry... www.un4seen.com/stuff/localdumps.zipAfter reproducing the crash and getting a dump file, you can upload it (compress it first as it could could be quite large) to have a look at here... ftp.un4seen.com/incoming/You can use the "localdumps-off" registry file to disable the dump file generation afterwards. |

Assuming that you're using Win7....
windows xp.. for adding entire drive root ... way around the crash was to get rid of anything that wasn't an audio file, a few stray playlists and jpgs that were buried in a couple subfolders, .. seems it didn't like trying to filter them out ... no crashdumps for you sorry thanks Jimmy, but that's not a solution
And why not? because it requires using 'someone elses' 'fix' for something the database/library already seems to have options for, or capability of, but isn't completely clear about |

OK, I can't force you to fix it in any particular way. You could wait for relative paths instead of absolute, or maybe some other 'fix'... that's OK. I was under the impression that you wanted to save yourself the hassle. |

Yes, the library info (including rating) should be retained for a track at its new location. But it needs to be the existing library entry that is updated to the new location, either automatically via the "Automatically check other drives for missing files" option or manually via the "Recover dead tracks" option. Don't re-add the file to the library from the new location otherwise you'll end up with entries for both the new and old locations (and the old one will have your ratings). windows xp..
OK. In that case, please upload your DRWTSN32.LOG file, which you should find here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\ |
