Title: Failed to connect to YADB and time entering data is wasted
Post by: canaro99 on December 30, 2004, 04:10:33 pm

This happens frequently:

My CD is not in the database. Like a good do-bee, I enter everything, click to submit.........I get a could not connect error and everything I've spent time entering is gone and now I get to practice typing all over.

My cure: I won't submit anything to YADB. Sorry, but I really tired of duplicating entries over and over.

Anyone else have any ideas??

you can only put up with that a couple of times then you don't bother anymore.

i've got the whole thing set to manual, i right click the cd and select "update from cd database" and if a cd's not in the database i always just abort the add new data form and enter it directly in the list view (and tags if required), then once thats done right-click on the cd and select "submit to cd database".

not automatic but so much easier and less stressful.

"Could not connect" is probably a network error.

MC should handle it better.

Don't think it's a network error because it happens all the time and any other network dependent program on my system works fine.
PLease fix the fact that when you rip 2 CD's simultaneously (A & B). When A finishes before B and you put a new (to be ripped) CD in A. The whole ripsession for B starts again from the beginning. Please fix this.

Yep, MC should handle it better. I wonder what is causing MC to display that message. Not enough capacity an YABB's side ?

Firewall?

I installed Norton Firewall only a few months ago. The network connection error was since I started using MC. It has been much less for a while with MC10.

What about the error of restarting a ripsession ?
