Crashes / Not Responding
Crashes / Not Responding
We have been having this problem for quite some time, and I simply can't figure out why. Our 24/7 running proppfrexx occasionally freezes and thus stops playing. I have noticed it is generally around 3-4 minutes past the beginning of the hour, but the hour which it happens on isn't consistent.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Re: Crashes / Not Responding
Note really. Andy hardware issues?
Any errors reported in the ProppFrexx Error-log file?
Any errors reported in the Windows Event Log?
When the 'crash' happens - try to create a 'Dump' file (from within the Windows TaskManager right-click on the ProppFrexx process and select to create a dump).

Nothing seems out of the ordinary, and the hardware is running great. On the next crash I can catch I will check it out a little closer and report back.

Yes, try to create the mentioned 'Dump' from within the TaskManager...

Re: Crashes / Not Responding
It happens here also sometimes ... lets say about every 2 till 5 Days. I will try to great such a dump next time when it happens, as PF is not writing anything about this in the error log.
Everything is possible ....
Re: Crashes / Not Responding
Please also try to 'monitor', if this happens with certain audio files only (as I suspect, that it is related to this - which still shouldn't crash of course).

Re: Crashes / Not Responding
There is realy no pattern to this - sometimes he freezes with an empty overlay even. The watcher encounters the freeze but is not able to terminate the running pf and this results in not restarting sometimes

Re: Crashes / Not Responding
For a while this seemed to resolve itself for me, but as of late the issue has returned...
I still don't know its origin though.

Re: Crashes / Not Responding
Sometimes (and honestly) most often the root cause might be a system or OS issue.
You might also want to double-check this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=915
It can also result from a Windows or driver update which happened in the background (almost unnoticed)...

Without any details (error log, dump etc.) there is nothing I can actually do...
