Deadlock when playing offline files
« on: March 24, 2010, 03:42:33 am »

Hi

Everything hangs forever when my server or HDD's is offline. Only way to get out of this lock is to hit ctrl alt delete and killing MC.

I got a media server with all my media, and I need to run some manual tasks on the drives to set them online. Every 14 days or so, the server restarts with or without my knowing (power loss, updates etc). If I forget to initialize my drives, I get a unpleasant hang in MC14. There have been more than one occasion I've been close to hitting my image restore shortcut. Which would result in some restore work on my expense.

I have a hard time understanding why there is difficult to check if the file is actually there, and to give a prompt if it's gone. This is up the same ally as the library server issue with missing files I think. There HAS to be a way to solve this.
