A common YADB failure mode (dueling popups)
« on: October 12, 2003, 12:30:35 am »

This happened to me a lot in 9.0, so I was hoping it would have been fixed by 9.1, but I still get it...

Sometimes MC gets into this mode where when I insert a new CD and click on it in "CD, DVD, & Handhelds", it pops up one window saying "Gathering information & updating view" and another saying "Accessing disk YADB information", and the 2 windows alternate being on top every second or so, until finally they both go away, at which point there is *nothing* in the view window, nor is there any error message indicating failure.

If I click on "Update from CD database", it goes thru the same dueling-window dance again.  So I quit MC and restart it, and it fetches the disk info just fine.

Is this a known bug?  Is it avoidable?

Hate to just say "me too", but the description above covers things fully.

I've had the same problem.  For me it happened when putting the second disc in a two disc set in... directly following the first disc.
