Thanks, have the file, will be about 1 week before I can look.

Hi,

you have left it for awhile, the compression to a wav file is done at the end (ie it might look like it has locked up, leave it a minte or two).

The problem with that is I lose access to the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and am unable to regain control of explorer until forcing a reboot. Also, this happened when converting a single directory (~10 files). I guess the likelihood of it being something on my end is increasing, hmm.

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

Make sure you did not set the priority to high (drop menu on the converting page).

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

That wouldn't explain the multiple (up to 8 or more) CoreConverter.exe processes running, though, would it? Using your official FLAC encoder, I can encode all day long (have not touched the priority, though I did check the option previously).

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

So if you encode 1 file to flac there are eight coreconverters running?

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

I apologize. I left out that it's only when batch converting. I just tested with a single file and it worked without issue.

And now I'm currently encoding a full album again with the CLI encoder and monitoring the processes. I'm over 75% through the encode and only one CoreConverter is running. *knocks on wood*

Sorry about this...perhaps it's another one of those mysterious self-repair situations (haven't touched dbpoweramp or the associated encoder since I was having the problem initially).

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

Followup, it happened again. It happened with the batch converter while trying to mass convert around 500 files (and overwrite the source files). Basically, I lost access to the taskbar and had to do a hard reset.

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

Try leaving task manager on screen so you can see what is happening (the CPU percentage).

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

This is a difficult error to reproduce...it seems to require that I batch transcode large amounts of files (more than 5 albums at once). When I did it previously and checked the task manager, the CPU didn't seem to be maxed out but there were multiple CoreConverters running. I'm currently trying a 262-file transcode as we speak.

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

What are you converting from and to? and using dbpoweramps codecs?

[vinnie97]

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

That 262-file transfer completed without a problem.

I was transcoding from an older FLAC build to the latest FLAKE build (via CLI) here: http://win32builds.sourceforge.net/flake/index.html

The problem isn't reproducible with Dbpoweramp codecs.

Re: CoreConverter.exe Crash

I do not see why it should be leaving multiple coreconverters open, what is your command line in flake?
