Will do Peter.
Thx Barry

Peter,
Found the songs.
You were right it is waveform related.
I have some tracks that have no audio in them ,just a blank file a few bytes long which I use for lyrics only.
I suppose you could say it’s my version of a ST2 placeholder.
As ST3 can’t find any audio to display waveform it crashes.
All good now.
Cheers Barry

Could you send me one these tracks anyway? Waveform rendering can handle no waveform data. So this crash should not happen and no matter what I try, I can't generate test data that causes a crash.

Bazz02 BTW when ST3 crashed it wiped the ST3 folder from my IPad with all the converted songs plus the Backup

Only iOS can remove this folder. I guess what you saw is the caching of the Files app. Sometimes it takes a very long time for changes or folders to appear in the Files app.

coopdawg Can someone tell me WHAT a placeholder is in ST3?

This is a song without an attached audio file. You can use to to display lyrics for songs you don't have a playback.

Beejaywh Just a quick heads up. Colours don’t work properly in ipodOS 13. Especially on the queue screen if no tracks selected. Plus selected tracks are pale colours not normal ones.

Thanks, but as I mentioned above I will not start looking at iOS13 until a release candidate is out. It is a moving target at the moment and a lot of glitches will be fixed in the coming 2 months. It makes no sense trying to find workaround for them at this point.

Last post should have said.
”Found the songs causing the crash.
BTW when ST3 crashed it wiped the ST3 folder from my IPad with all the converted songs plus the Backup.Any ideas.

I’ve heard it referred to many times but have no idea what they are.

Bazz02

coopdawg You can use a Placeholder as a lyrics only file.

This is the same if iPodOS is selected to either dark or light colour scheme.

All else appears to work ok on 13

Checked again with song Belfast Lyrics which I emailed to you.ST3 crashed.
The only way I can get it up and running is to delete ST3 which deletes all data and Re-install.

Cheers Barry

Bazz02 Thanks, I got it and finally fixed it 🙂. The fix will be available in the next beta.

I have just finished the first version of the new documentation. You can find at at https://stagetraxx.com/user-guide/

Please drop me a note if there are things missing or some descriptions are too cryptic.

peter Just had a quick look at the user guide on my iPad. The video clips seem to be huge on screen. Too big! You can’t get a whole clip on screen, you have to scroll to see the bottom. 👍

Would it be possible in 3.1 to have a switch in the Network Session for SLAVE device to display or not display the lyrics AND show the top 5 or 10 songs in the queue? Or maybe one or the other.... queue/lyrics?

Used ST3 again this weekend without incident. Loving It!

peter

JDSMUSIC Maybe it is possible. I will take a look at this for version 3.1.

JDSMUSIC

peter For the network sessions on remote devices....in the meantime could you make the Next Song a more noticeable color / bold font....kinda gets lost in the lyrics.

Thanks

Hi peter, Did another 5 gigs this week with ST3, All the little refinements are coming together. Got the AirTurn bt200s-6 working a treat and can now start/stop, whizz up and down the queue list, select next song, toggle auto play and open/close player window all whilst playing. So I can say ... to all those who play instruments and want to control their entire show with a foot pedal then the bt200s-6 is the way to go. It works perfectly. 😀

peter

Fretwizard Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

Fretwizard The video clips seem to be huge on screen.

Yeah, seems like a lot of images are blown up to full page width on iPad and iPhone even though they should be only small icons. I will need to correct that.

peter

The image problem should now be fixed.

I am not able to restore backup? I just got a new 32G ipad 6th gen and installed TestFlight and then ST3.

I hooked my old ipad air to itunes and selected file sharing and saw the ST3 appeared as a folder. I selected it and then it showed all the music tracks. I then did ctrl-A to select all and they were copied to my PC... 499 songs.

Disconnected old ipad and connected new ipad to itunes and went to File Sharing and successfully copied all the files from PC to the new ipad.

Went into settings on new ipad, selected Backups/Restore. It displayed the ST3 folder. Following directions in your new documentation, I touched/selecting the folder. It opened the folder and all the songs displayed half intensisty? No confirmation? Do I Wait for all them to be selected?

What am I missing here?
Thanks
JD

peter

JDSMUSIC You only need to copy the backup file to the new iPad. I guess you missed creating a backup 😉

Old iPad: Create a backup in Stage Traxx and copy it to the new iPad
New iPad: Restore the backup

Don't copy the songs, they are included in the backup.

JDSMUSIC

Yes, the very first thing I did on the old IPAD was create a backup. As I said, it appears as a Folder with ST3 on it.
the old ST you could AIR-DROP a backup...

peter

OK, when you created the backup, you gave it a name. Just copy the file with that name to the new iPad. So open the Folder with Stage Traxx icon on it and search for the backup file. This is the file you need to copy. Nothing else.
