Alpha 6 - Access violation 007E6871 when playing M4A files

[Guest]

I'm getting seemingly random "Access violation 007E6871 ..." errors when playing M4A files. I'm not doing anything else - MM is just playing the playlist.

MM doesn't crash though - it just carries on as normal after the Error Reporting dialog.

Using:
Glider skin; Win2003 server sp2; 2GB mem; Intel core2 6400; Soundmax audio drivers.

BTW, This is only happening at the end of a track, just as the crossfade starts.

... and MM doesn't actually carry on after the error. It just stops. When I press PLAY, it continues to play the next track.

...and the M4A tracks are 128k ripped with iTunes.

Not sure if this happens with MP3s, as I haven't been playing any.

I experienced this exact behavior. I think it relates somehow to the install of MM3A6 and the corresponding database update. I finally uninstalled MM3A6, then located & deleted both the directory in which it was installed and the database file (mm.db, found in documents and settings/user/local settings/application data/mediamonkey). I then reinstalled MM3A6 and had it scan in all my music files, forcing it to build the new database from scratch rather than update it. I haven't had one of the errors since, and they were regular errors before the reinstall.

Good luck, Danny

Thanks for that tip Danny - I'll give it a try and report back.

Also of note, is that I've been playing MP3s, not M4As, for the last 2 days and have not had the error. So it seems to only happen with M4As.

I did what you suggested Danny, but no change. Worth a try though. It still errors and halts playback. They should have got the message by now, so I just click "Don't Send" and carry on.
