Scheduler crash - access violations

[p00ch]

Hi,

I'm running 0.39.7 on Windows 7 using Windows Firewall and AVG free antivirus (although I'll be changing back to Avast today). I don't log anything, so have no logs to paste, sorry. I'll turn on logging tonight.

I hadn't used the scheduler before but my ISP just started doing a free bandwidth at night thing and I wanted to grab some large files, so I set the scheduler to run from 1am - 7am every night of the week. Just started doing this last night. Had an access violation on Alt.Binz yesterday morning when I came home about 10am. When I went to the computer and switched Alt.Binz (bringing it up from the system tray - I minimise to system tray) it gave me the error. Didn't record the error except to say it was an access violation error. Just one of those "oh well" moments because I was shutting it down anyway. I opened Alt.Binz again and checked the downloads and then closed it down (it was closed down - nothing in the system tray).

All day I noticed that the laptop fan was operating more than it probably should do under idle/low use, but I assumed that it was perhaps because it had been encoding and just needed some downtime. That evening, however, I tried to open Alt.Binz and couldn't - all I got was the icon appearing in the system tray and couldn't actually maximise the program.

I switched to the task manager and saw there were two Alt.Binz instances running - one was consuming about 50% of CPU time and about 60mb of memory, whereas the other wasn't consuming anything significant. I shut them both down and started Alt.Binz. Worked fine. Set scheduler, left laptop alone.

Came home this morning about 6.30am, scheduler still running, Alt.Binz still running but with an access violation error on screen. Didn't record it, sorry. I closed it down and Alt.Binz carried on running. Was sat at the computer at about 7am when the scheduler was due to end. And it ended, only I got that Windows error noise. Switched to Alt.Binz and then saw it had crashed leaving me with an access violation error.

Decided I should probably record it and post it here, because it seems to be related to the scheduler. This is the error I got this morning when Alt.Binz shut down (also attached):



Setup in Alt.Binz is pretty much:

Connecting to SSL server
PAR2 checking and repairing on
unRAR off

That's pretty much everything different. Everything else is vanilla. Seems to be related to the scheduler ending, or something that's happening during the scheduled period, because to my memory it hasn't happened before.

Thanks.

Okay, so it crashed about 20 minutes after the scheduler kicked in at 1.20am. Lost a whole night.  There's nothing in the logs that might indicate why it's doing it. Nothing at all. It just stops logging at 1.20am:

Came in at 6.20am and it had crashed with the same access violation error.

You got PM.

That crash error message is the same thing i've been getting, happens at random several times a day. Sometimes it's just downloading away and freezes up, or it's sitting there doing nothing as spits out that error message. Only started doing it when i upgraded from 39.4 to 39.7

Code: [Select]

The program altbinz.exe version 0.39.7.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Yeah, the problem is that now I can't replicate the error. I made some changes, but nothing I would have thought was significant.

Windows has updated at least once
AVG antivirus has been swapped for Avast
CCleaner has done junk files, internet history and the registry
Alt.Binz is the version that Rdl sent me with Eurekalog

And now I can't replicate the damn error. Even started encoding last night and left it running alongside Alt.Binz on a scheduler and uTorrent, but nothing doing. More stable than ever.

well my pc was only clean installed a few days ago, but as soon as i updated to 39.7 it just crashes all the time, so i went back to 39.4 and it's fine now. It's a pity tho because while it was working the extra NZB search indexers came in very handy.

I think that problem will be solved in next version (few days)

Awesome Rdl, thanks
