Hi JP. There have been no changes to the audio engine in recent updates, so it’s not clear what’s causing this issue. It’s not clear to me what the screenshots you have posted are showing. You are free to revert to a previous version from this page: https://www.playitsoftware.com/Products/Live/ReleaseNotes
Hi Jason the screen shot were the first one showing it was playing fine then all track after that didn't play till the programme was fully closed and restarted again
what ever is causing the issue its like someone pressed the main stop button beside log scheduler
but there was no one near the pc this have happened everyday since last update i thought there may be some bug that was causing it.
Hi JP,
I am still unsure what the screenshots are showing. Time is showing at 19:57 on the clock, but you are showing logs from 08:39 and 14:30. I can see some items were skipped - this is because of the fixed time marker. I can see items after the 08:45:00 fixed time marker were skipped - was there another fixed time marker in that hour?
im having this issue now aswell, i thought it was the Install of windows or damaged sound drivers.
reloaded and setup PIL on a completely different machine with another audio interface, works for an odd amount of time and then locks when trying to play the next track or even part way, files work fine in VLC and Windows media player, song even plays in the seque editor, but wont play normally
Nathan, I would suspect some corrupted files or for some reason (say a mapped network drive) inability to access the files.
My personal recommendations for PlayIt Live are to have all the music on a local disk in the machine (ideally a solid state drive - SSD) and a backup elsewhere. Don't play from USB sticks or similar.
Also don't have much other stuff installed on the machine. A dedicated machine with a "clean" operating system install is best.
If you do this, PlayIt Live will run for months from my experience.
Thanks Mark,
did an isolation test with another computer
(This now takes the test and issue to 4 different computers)
Fresh Installation of Windows,
Fresh Install of Play It
Re Re ripped 25 CDs as a test
Kept Isolated of any network and had the files on a secondary SSD (Not the primary) and it still happens
even was just trying to run the onboard audio output without an audio interface as i thought they may have caused it
im running out of ideas
Well Nathan, I'm very puzzled.
From my experience, in practice, PlayIt Live is quite undemanding on modern computer hardware.
If it's OK when the "Spec Check" (Help -> Spec Check) is run (green ticks) then it really should be OK.
I assume the music files are MP3 rips (I would suggest 320kb/s if possible but that's just to preserve audio quality).
Fresh Windows installs seem to take a while to "settle" (updates etc).
Are the computers you tried up to the required specs?

I would also avoid anything beyond the "built in" Windows anti virus/anti malware.

Play it live freezing up and totally stops playing the music it self this only seems to be happening in the last week since the last TWO software updates were issues
its a bit of a pain if you not around to try and get mobile network to remotely access the pc to fully close playit and restart it again
