Hesitation/temporary freeze

**oekundar** · 02-25-2005, 07:33 PM

Has anyone experienced this? When using frodo for music, once in a while it will freeze on any track, sometimes eventually come back...other times...stays like that until I reboot...any ideas?

Did you check the cpu usage when it freezes...I'm kinda getting the same problem on certain mp3s. Checking the cpu usage shows like 95-100% cpu usage, thus causing a temporary freeze.

I will check and let you know...

edit...I checked and it froze on 100% usage...I think you and I have the same problem...interesting.....

man, this is really starting to annoy me.

basically, any time there's any visualization...the system grinds to a halt. it also hesitates at the beginning of songs too.

WTF?

btw...just checked cpu usage in Windows Media Player 10...guess what? 95-100% with visualization on. Winamp 15-25% with visualization. Centrafuse 70% with visualization.

It must be something set up wrong with WMP10 (which is was Frodoplayer uses).

you can always use 9

**oekundar** · 03-01-2005, 01:12 PM

how can I/(we) switch to verion #9?

Thanks,

**ZenerDiode** · 03-01-2005, 01:13 PM

yeah...i'm gonna try that.

i'll still love fp...so i don't want to give up on it.

Nope...going back to 9 didn't help the problem.

I noticed though, the problem seems to occur when switching from dir to dir sometimes. Say I'm in the Cake dir, playing a song, switch to the Pearl Jam directory and start another song, the cpu will go up to 100%. But if I switch out of the Pearl Jam directory to another one the cpu will go down again....then if I switch to the Pearl Jam dir again, start the same song, the cpu level will be okay. Weird

I wonder if it's a database thing? I keep trying to sync/build my database and everything seems to go okay. But then when I come back into settings 1, it says "0" in the database. Frodobaggins any thoughts?
