Hi all,
Often, while analyzing a bunch of files (read: more than one) my MC hangs (mostly when a file is around 98% completely analyzed).
CPU usage drops to a normal level (indicating analysis is not actively calculating something, while this happens it is near 100%) and the mc window just freezes. (when dragging other windows over it the mc window gets completely white showing no contents).
I haven't managed to isolate the problem, but what I do know:
- it does not always happen on the same file
- it is not restricted to files on a network share (though the problem seems less frequent on a fixed drive
- It happens more with m4a files (both nero and quicktime) than with mp3 files.
- It is not related to tagging updates as I have tried disabling the 'write tags to files' option
I've always had this problem with MC in one form or another, but have now noticed something strange: I previously assumed that the program just froze. This does not seem to be true: the log file is still showing activity. (though not related to the on-going audio analysis.)
It seems that only the playback engine freezes, as currently playing songs also stop when this happens.
After the crash I still see lines like this appearing:
0156921: 25036: Sharing Plugins: CHTTPRequestMessage::ReadPreamble: Start
0156921: 25036: Sharing Plugins: CHTTPRequestMessage::ReadPreamble: Finish (0 ms)
0156921: 25036: Reader: CHTTPRequestMessage::ReadPayload: Start
0156921: 25036: Reader: CHTTPRequestMessage::ReadPayload: Finish (0 ms)
You can find the full log
here. (the analysis crashed around line 3930)
