Hi All,

MJ is locking up on my laptop after it has been playing continuously for about an hour.  At the lock-up point it says in the play control window that it is buffering.  This started to occur for at least the last 3-4 updates, as this did not happen early on in the 8.0 build process.  Any ideas?

My computer details are as follows:

Media Jukebox PLUS 8.0.388
Install Path: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\

CPU: Intel Unknown 82 MHz MMX
Memory: Total - 523 MB, Free - 324 MB
OS: Microsoft Windows XP  Workstation 5.1  (Build 2600)

Internet Explorer: 6.0.2600.0000
ComCtl32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shlwapi.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shell32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
wnaspi32.dll: Internal ASPI Layer

No idea.  Are the files you're playing local or on a network PC?

Yes, all files are local on the laptop.   It works fine for a while, but after extended continuous playing, it locks.  I just duplicated it by playing MJ overnight.  When I awoke, it was locked.

Two ideas:

1) update your sound card driver

2) switch from WaveOut to DirectX in MJ -> Options -> Playback

I got it to freeze-up once again.  I find it interesting that it did so while playing song 101 (I was not around the computer to hear if song 100 malfunctioned, as well).  I am considering that when the active-playing song in the playlist got over #100, problems occur.

Any thoughts?
