Hello there;

There may be a bug in this version, because when I select the path of the modules to load (quite a long list, but it worked perfectly even in the old version), it takes a huge time to load (which never happened) and then , a guru meditation.

Tried running Hippo outside Workbench, but same result. This time it loads the list of modules (after a long time) and the module is empty, but the program seems to detect the modules, since it tries to load them, but shows an error every time.

Another problem is the Favorite modules implementation, which does not work. Since always, when you press the right button, you minimize the window, so there is no possible way to mark any module as favorite.
Hope this can be fixed as it is my main reason for updating :-)

Personally, I would feel very comfortable if pressing the right button did not minimize anything and did something more useful for the program.

Another possible features would be:
-Allow the tracker window to be larger, as for tracker musicians like me it would help to see important information :-)
-Right-clicking on a module in the list of modules might be enough to play it, without having to select the module and click Play or Enter.

Thank you. When using AHI as output device I always get the error "Trouble with the player group". I have copied the new .group file too, of course.

You could maybe try removing S:HippoPlayer.prefs, too, and retry.
I think this error message should not be related to AHI settings at all :confused

It never happened before untils this recent version.
I'm a musician, so have lots of drawers and mod files, plus XM's, IFF's...etc.
I have a unique drawer which contains all these subfolders and files, so, I click on "New" and double click on that drawer, then selecting "All".
In the previous versions, it took about 5-8 seconds or so, but in this version it takes around 15, at least, making strange things, like guru meditations, showing a requester requesting an inexistent volume which name is formed by simbols and numbers, or just an empty box, with the blue bar selecting "nothing" and trying to play it. After 2 seconds the program tries to play the next, and so on until the fourth or fifth, when an error shows up and the search is stopped.
However when I select a drawer with less files in it, it works OK.
Something was modified which avoids to load a huge files list (which always worked)


Just to be sure, is the "Favorite modules" checkbox enabled in prefs?

Ok... That was not mentioned in the Aminet doc... yeah, fixed! :-)



- Having larger tracker scope window is a good idea!

Yes! The PATTERNSCOPE, as, the bigger the window is the more time you have to see the sequence and commands. With only a few lines is too difficult to see what's being played :-)
I think the size of the other scopes are more than enough.


- You could maybe enable double clicking in prefs, so you can double click to play.

Ok, also done. Thank you. I didn't know this :-)

There's now a debug version of v2.47 available here:
https://github.com/koobo/HippoPlayer...dist/HiP-debug

It has a debug log window that displays a lot of messages. It might help in pinpointing problems mentioned in this thread.

Could you please try to reproduce the bug by testing the "HiP-Debug" version mentioned above, to see the logs Hippo outputs, and also run SnoopDos at the same time to see what it says?
