MilkyTracker Bug Reports / Re: Windows Mobile 6 bug ?

« on: April 24, 2008, 10:47:10 »

Ok, using the Windows XP version I created a "milkytracker.cfg" file with a buffer of 371ms (16.3K).

Then I used it with the Windows CE version. It worked fine, no more freezes. Then I started lowering it of small amounts each time. It works with values up to 220ms (9.7K). Any value under 220ms starts freezing the device again.

Such a solution could be acceptable if you only want to listen to some tracks... but it is not accetable if you try to compose something. Hearing a note with a 220ms delay is not that good 

Don't know how other apps sorted out this problem but I am sure they do not use such a large buffer (audio is always synced with images in players or with character's actions in games).

Ok, the problem is now clear.

I tried to increase audio buffer from the "Config" panel inside MT. It lets me change every setting (buffer size, sample rate, device name...) but as soon as i click on "Apply" or "Ok" my device freezes. I can not change anything that is related to the audio settings.

It is with no doubt a software bug connected to the way MT handles the audio device. I don't think my device is buggy because I have a lot of programs such as video players, MP3 players, games and emulators... they all handle audio perfectly synced with images and none of them has ever fronzen my TyTN II. I suppose there is another way to handle audio on WM devices. Sorry, can't help you in this 

I hope one day you'll be able to fix this bug... I consider MT a very good and usefull tracker but now it is useless to me

If I configure MT to display the taskbar, screen coordinates on its interface are shifted of some pixel... touching the place where the taskbar should be I can launch a task manager. If I gracefully kill MT's process my smartphone hangs again... but if I kill it immediately (brute kill) the process quits without freezing my smartphone.

So I presume it is a bug related to resource allocation. When MT's process frees allocated resources something goes wrong (at least on WM6 units).

Unfortunately I'm not a WM developer and without a debug option I can not help you in any way

I'm using the default settings.
I've never changed the buffer size.

I'll try a larger size but it is strange since TyTN II has 128Mb of total RAM and I have 64Mb free for apps.

MilkyTracker Bug Reports / [workaround only] Windows Mobile 6 bug ?

« on: April 21, 2008, 11:01:45 »

Hi,

I'v tried the latest version on my HTC TyTN II smartphone (WM6, Italian ROM) and it works well until I quit... then it completely hangs my phone and I have to hard-reset it. In a few words after pressing the "Exit" button I can still see Milky Tracker interface but it becomes completely unresponsive, hardware buttons do nothing too and every background funcion (I.E. receiving phone calls) stop working at all. And hardware reset is the only solution.

This is the first version I've tested on my TyTN II, don't know if the problem was present in previous versions.
