MC 13 not responding on exit
« on: April 08, 2009, 03:47:32 pm »
MC 13 completely locks up when i try to exit. I love the product and it seems to work just fine when i open and play my music files. But I have to shut it down in the Task manager every time I try to exit. I have temporarily installed it on a different system and the same thing happens.

MC needs to do some saving of stuff like settings and database and all on shut-down.

I believe forcing it closed can cause some problems with your library.


How long will it take if you leave it alone until it closes by itself?

It seems that the longer I let MC 13 run (a long playlist) the worse it gets. Thanks

Why do you think it hasn't shut down?  What do you see on the screen?

Any third party plug-ins in use?

No third party plugins. The screen just locks up. All menus are inactive, minimize, maximize, close buttons inactive, etc. The application just locks. Thanks for all the help

Anything else non-standard?  This isn't a problem I can recall.

Nothing else non-standard; just a very large library of over 70000 tracks. After doing some testing MC13 freaks out when a lot of tracks are selected for playback or MC13 is in use for a long period of time: problems I never had with MC12. Thanks for the help.

70,000 tracks is a medium large library.  There are many much larger libraries around.  It isn't that.

But, you could try setting up a new library.  It's possible your old one is corrupt.  Killing the program is one way that could happen.

Under File/Library/Library Manager, choose Add.  Set it up in a new location, and import a few files.  Does the freeze still happen?

I noticed (several versions ago) that the thumbnail checking would take place on exit and could take a minute or so.  But MC would exit if given time.  HDD activity was very high during this time as it scanned the thumbnail database for any orphan files.  A setting allows you to disable this but newer versions have altered how this works.

Thanks for all the help! I cleared my old library and let MC13 rescan the drive and build a new one. It now seems to act much better, although still not exiting as quickly or cleanly as MC12. Once again, thanks.
