Any one has problems with RPG scanner? (bug?)

2022-08-10 19:26:03

Hello everyone.
This is some suspicious behaviour with the program every time i do RPG scan a lot of hours of music in one execution..
sometimes it becomes unstable and other pop up the RPG dialog saying "bad location" so i apply "update.." and therefore Foobar2k crashes.

I'm using the version 1.6.11 and the latest beta but i think the problem comes from earlier versions.

i'll try to investigate the cause but is very time consuming and CPU demandant to scan round thousands of files.

I've run it on a library of about 4,000 tracks without a problem.

But did you tried to rescan replaygain? recently i tried with around 600 tracks and the 'bad location' message appeared again.
Also this time with messageboxes saying something like "..couldn't write to playlist.."

Please clarify how to "rescan" - I tried Library > Album List > All Music > Replay Gain > Scan per file track gain (on a backup set) and it just searched for tracks which did not already have the ReplayGain tags.  Am I supposed to "Remove" first?

Could there be an instability with your hardware?

Have you run any stress testing tools like Prime95 or Linpack Xtreme?
