MPD hangs when changing tracks or seeking

MPD is VERY touchy when I change the current playing track, or seek.
I've been using ncmpcpp, but I witness the same behavior with other clients too.
Since I've seen other people mention the same stability issues, I was wondering if anyone came up with a solution for this ?
I was hoping to use mpd to build my music db, but I 'skim' through a lot of music, so it's not usable to me right now...
Will appreciate any help.
Cheers

Try that link out and try setting it up via user in the alternate setup. I had issues it running as deamon... This way it will run as a local user and just add it to a start script when you start your .xinitrc or autostart.sh...

My iPod Video hangs when changing track

Just now, my iPod Video hung when changing to another track... So I had to reset it (something I don't want to do). Does anyone have the same problem?
By the way, I didn't charge my iPod till it says it's full. How much would it affect the battery capacity? (It only last for about 5 to 6 hours...)

mine does this too
and occasionally it hangs (pauses) when changing screens
also when i click for the album art in full screen it often takes about 5secs+ for it to register

Music Stutters when changing tracks encoded using FLAC

When changing tracks encoded with FLAC, the song stutters a bit at the beginning of each song. The rest of the song continues to play fine. It's just at the beginning when changing tracks manually.
These very same tracks played fine with the previous firmware on the iPod and play fine on my MacBook now using iTunes.
Anyone else running into the same thing?? Everything works, but its rather annoying!!!

Macbook Pro Hangs when Changing locations

Hello Everyone,
I have a Macbook Pro 2.16 running Leopard 10.5.1 and every now and then when I change network Locations from Wireless access point to anther (WPA Personal to WPA Enterprise or vice versa), the laptop simply hangs?! Mouse stops moving and nothing responds. I need to hold down the power button to restart the button. It's go em really worried as I have am using FileVault and crashing the box like this will like lead to corruption in the FileVault volume. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? It's never happened to me in Tiger!

I have wondered if VMWare fusion is involved simply because it sets up a lot of network devices.
VMWare isn't necessary for this to happen, since I've had it happen a few times to me, too, but I don't have any of the Windows stuff: Boot Camp, Parallels, or VMWare installed.
I think you're right that it's only when I switch from wireless to ethernet. I've had a couple of theories along the way, but each time it happens, things seem to be a bit different, so now I'm not sure.
One interesting thing is that at least once I did manage to get control of the machine (sort of) by logging in via SSH. Because I was in a hurry to get to work, I just shut it down using the Terminal. So I don't know if I could have gotten complete control by killing the login window, for example.
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to happen shortly after I've rebooted anyway. Yesterday morning I installed a security update and the new iTunes and QuickTime, which meant a reboot. And last night I got this hang when I was getting the computer ready to go to work today. But before I updated yesterday morning, the uptime was over 30 days. So it's not common for me.
I think, in another post, Gnarlodius mentioned only changing the location via the System Preferences and not having this problem. I may try that for a while.

Hanging when changing channels

I am currently on release 1.9 build 10.95. Ever since the software was "upgraded" I have noticed the following:
Intermittently, when changing channels, by selecting from the guide, often the system will hang, for up to a minute, before the channel finally changes, almost as if it is waiting for something to time out.
Intermittently, when I use the remote, the green light will flash on the box showing that a signal has been received, but nothing happens. I may have to issue the command two or three times.
This has happened on all three of our DVR's - Motorola QIP - 7216 1
I have reset the box via software, physically reset the box by pulling the power chord, and put new batteries into the remote, numerous times, and the problem persists.
Is it only me, or has this problem been reported under a different heading?

Usually, you can turn off a video setting and it speeds up the responce time of the set top box. Try hitting menu - settings - video settings - sd override and selecting off. There are other settings in there but they dont seem to affect the responce time much.

Sound is hanging when changing patch.

Hello.
The problem is that if i am pressing the sustain pedal while im changing a patch, the last notes in the previous patch stays on. it doesent goes of untill i hit the space bar or panic button.
Help.
Could it be that i need to configurw some All notes off when changing patch? Not an idel solution but that would be better than to end upp with a hang in a live situation.

Im not expessing my self corectly.
The way i want it to work is as you describe it. The note from the selected patch sustaind untill the pedal is released. Thats the way my master keyboard (Roland A80) works.
But the problem is that it newer STOPS sustaining ( after patch change, and pedal release).
Im using a New MBP, New Motu midinterface and a Clavia Stage88 keyboard.
If MS comes with the sustain feature (and thats what i want), i will check my pedal (polarity?) delet the old pedal and make a new. mayby something whent wrong whan i created the pedal.
Does that sound like a good plan?

[SLVD] MySQL Query Browser (1.2.12) hangs when changing schma/database

After a rather big upgrade yesterday (see paste below) I have got a problem with MySQL query browser which is found in package mysql-gui-tools. Everything else seems to be okay, but after upgrading mysql-gui-tools from 5.0r12-3 to 5.0r14-1 (..and now, after another update, its at 5.0r14-2) it is no longer able to refresh schema/databases. Every time I try to change/refresh schema in the schema menu to the right the program hangs and I have to kill it. A refresh icon appears as normal to the left of the schema I'm trying to refresh, but that icon too has frozen. I am however able to execute normal SELECT queries etc if I write the full "path" to the table in the SQL query, but when I try a USE query the same thing happens.
I have done some searching on the Internet about this and found this thread to be interesting. Too bad it's from July 2007..
I tried to downgrade to the old version of query browser, but then I got this problem:
/usr/bin/mysql-query-browser-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
..So I guess theres a dependency problem here with the old version.
Has anyone else got any problem with the MySQL Query Browser after upgrade or has any ideas for a solution?

I found the error on this. In the current PGKBUILD found in AUR, the patch mysql-gui-tools.chema_change_freeze_bug.patch is no longer applied.
I downloaded all related files to this package and built it myself now, with some changes to PGKBUILD and the mysql-gui-tools.chema_change_freeze_bug.patch. It works again :-)

Iphoto hangs when changing layout of cards

Hi,
I create a card with some pictures in it. When I change the layout all pictures are gone.
Now I have to exit iphoto ohterwise it hangs.
Can someone help?
Sbroesamle

There seems to be a bug with iPhoto 8.1.2 and Mavericks 10.9.2 on some machines. Report your problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. However, since iPhoto is up to 9.5.1 now I doubt if there will be any effort put in by Apple for that version of iPhoto.
You can upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 via the App Store but it will be a paid upgrade.

Score Window: Thru Instrument no longer changes when changing tracks

Today is my 8th day working in the score window and all of the sudden the thru instrument no longer changes to the track (stave) selected in the score window.
What button/key command did I press and how do I get the previous behaviour back?

some of theswe 'inconsistencies' are there for a reason:
- because that is the way the program evolved
- because they are not inconsistencies on another level or work flow.
also you should be aware that logics philsophy is to be customizable. in general it is almost always possible to set something up so that it behave you would like or expect it to. there problems inherent with this kind of philosophy, but it is what makes logic unique and very flexible.
i would strongly advise you to start perusing the ley command list at every possible moment. reassign key commands so that they behave more consistently for you. for example i have developed my own heirarchy of key commands:
- single strokes for all the most commonly invoked key commands and opening of editors.
- any other editor or subeditor i will use the 'shift' modifier (ie for me shift means open...)
- then complex modifiers for actions that are quite drastic, such as merge etc.
i try to keep all KCs relevant to their function...so for example
c = convert
m = mute
q = open event editor (ok not that one so much)
finally, when in doubt customize, customize, customize.

Gnome hangs when changing theme [SOLVED]

Hey guys,
Don't know if anyone had this problem of if its been posted before so anyways .....
I recently installed Voodoo with kde, gnome & xfce.
My main desktop is KDE but I do use GNOME & XFCE occasionally.
When on KDE I like to be able to change my gtk theme so I installed gtk-qt-engine.
After choosing a theme in the GTK-QT-Engine settings box my gtk apps would adjust accordingly and everything would be fine.
However, when I logged into GNOME and tried to change the GNOME theme .... my desktop would freeze
If I did a ctrl+atl+del I would be taken to gdm but would now get .Xsession errors when trying to re-login.
I would have to login back to KDE, delete the gconf directories and only then was I able to log back into GNOME.
Now the reason I could not change the theme in GNOME was coz the gtk-qt-engine program modified my .gtkrc-2.0 .... and this was causing all the hang ups .... pun intended.
So I edited the gtk-qt-engine modified .gtkrc-2.0 file & commented out everything.
After this GNOME works perfectly and changing themes is now a snap
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers,
hack

Thank you! This saved my life! Well, it did not save my life but it was important. I thought my GNOME was borked and ended up deleting every config and re-installing it before I came across this. DOH!

Odd Error When Changing Track T

I am getting the following error when I try to change the tags on some songs:
"The Track Information has been updated in PC Music Library, but not in the audio file, because the file may be in use, or the file is marked as read-only."
For some reason, the Artist, Album, and Genre are (Unknown) on maybe ten tracks. When I change any one of them I get the error.
I am using Creative MediaSource, (because I am too dense to figure out MP3 Library) as I want to update to the newest firmware, which will format my Touch again.
In Windows, the files do not show the read-only box checked.
It would not be a huge deal to just re-rip the songs, but does anyone know why this might happen? I want to prevent it in the future.
Thanks,
Eric

Have you downloaded and installed the latest MediaSource v3.30.2? If you have already done so, and you are sure that the files are not read-only and not in use, I am interested to see the file because I think that the file may have a corrupted tag. If you don't mind, you can send one or two of the "problematic" files to me at:

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

System hanging when i try to display or change or create a function module?

Hi Experts,
My system is hanging when i try to display or change or create a FM using SE37 transaction. I am able to execute SE37 transaction but when i give a FM name which is already existing, the system is getting hanged up. If i give a FM which is not present in the system and try to display it, it gives an error "FM does not exists". I have unistalled the SAP logon and reinstalled it again and restarted my system but still this problem is encountered.
Can any one please help me in this issue??
Thanks a lot in Advance!
Regards,
Lakshman.

Hi Prasad,
Go to se38 transaction and look at UTILITIES-> Settings-> ABAP editor-> Change front-end editor to old(if it is new) and check once. Hope this solves your problem becuase this is what i have done for my problem and let me know whether the problem has been solved.
Regards,
Lakshman.

Office for Mac 2011: Tips for speeding up Word when using tracked changes and comments?

I run a fresh installation of Office for Mac 2011 (v. 14.4.1) on a brand new Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM running 10.9.2. The Office package is fully up-to-date.
I mainly use Word and find that it is extremely slow when I track changes. Documents need not be particularly large - even in a 30-page document after a few pages of tracks typing becomes a pain, in particular in comment bubbles where the text shows up letter-by-letter and only finish several seconds after I've stopped typing. Other programs run at the same time do not suffer from this horrible lag.
I have searched and seen that this is not uncommon so it appears that Microsoft's coders are not particularly well versed in coding for Mac.
My question is if other users have found ways to improve the situation, for instance by trashing plists or something like that? This is really driving me crazy
Many TIA
Philip
