mb "freezing" prob

[eddi]

hey there

my version is 3.1.6466 and since a few versions before i´ve noticed a bug or something. it occurs randomly that mb seems to be "freezing" while playing.
the music plays on but when i start to skip to the next song or something else, nothin happens. no function is available until i close mb via task manager and restart it.

sometimes i have to do it a few times and then everything seems to be ok for a while. until it happens again...

does some of u have the same issue? if so what might be the prob?

any idea anyone?

thx eddi

[Steven]

i had a look and i wasnt able to reproduce any issues or see any things that i thought might be problematic

I have also been having this problem. Can't remember if it was pre-v3 but it has definitely been happening since v3+

For me it usually happens after listening to music for a while but can also happen on first few songs. It will finish playing a song, then go to 0:00 of that song and is unable to play/skip/etc any playback functions just stop working. The rest of MB works just the playback functions won't work. Wish I could contribute more info but there isn't any noticeable triggers as to when it stops.

I have exactly the same problem.

[Steven]

can each of you send me a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings)
also could you indicate what output device you are using

[Steven]

@antietam, in your case the only thing i can see that you might try is disabling the izoZone dsp. I guess also ensure your output device drivers are up to date.
Everything else looks very straight forward

Thank you, Steven. As this is a comparatively new issue (I mean occasional freezing) I have been experiencing since the end of September, I think I'll stick to Version 3.0 which is flawless to me.

Viva MusicBee (I will never be able to use any other media player).

[Steven]

I have had a few reports of freezing but its not clear to me whether the issue is actually musicbee or something to do with the last major windows 10 update; something related to the updated bass.dll or a genuine introduced bug in MB.
I ran your settings for a few hours yesterday without issue.
If you find MB still freezing even using v3.0 could you let me know

[Steven]

@eddi & Jubs v2, it seems at least in antietam's case it was his security software, so you might try whitelisting MB in that software

@antietam, could you let us know which security software you use?

Dr. Web & Windows Defender.

Since yesterday,Dr. Web has been detecting MusicBee.exe as DPH:Trojan.Encoder.4.

Hello! As you can see, I'm pretty new to the world of MusicBee, and what a great player it is! The "shuffle different artists" option is absolutely fantastic! No more Itunes system-hog for me!
I was having this same problem, and it was pretty bad, with MB freezing up multiple times. I was looking for help in this thread and, somehow, managed to click on another thread dealing with a different issue. In that thread, someone suggested unclicking the "remove silence" option. I decided to unclick it to see if it would help with the freezing and, in the last week, MB hasn't frozen on me a single time! If you're having the freezing problem, give that a shot.

which version are you using (in help/ about) ?
also it would be useful if you were able to send me a link to a zip of one of the files that had this problem
