I'm using Vista Business, SSP 7 June 2007.

Without fail, everytime I try to import lyrics from SongSelect SSP crashes. It crashes straight after selecting import, before it even lauches the internal browser window.

I'd love to get this fixed as it is really holding me back from using SSP at the moment.

Could you please clarify and explain exactly how you are trying to do the download? I have downloaded songs from CCLI using vista with no problem.

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

I had to completely reformat my machine the other day and start again from scratch. So everything is nice and fresh. All windows updates are installed. Except that means I've lost my 60 day trail.

Ok, so here is what I do:

1. In the Songs windows: Import From > SongSelect Lyrics Service
2. Crashes immediately before the browser window appears

I also tried:

1. Songs > New Song... > Import From > SongSelect Lyrics Service
2. Crashes straight away, same as before.

The Windows crash message is not particularly helpful either. It simply says “SongShow Plus has stopped working”.

I have a sneaking suspicious it could be a windows update, or an update to internet explorer? Any help on diagnosing the problem would be greatly appreciated!

I found a strange twist to the problem today, which may help in it's solution. It sounds like a bug of some sort.

I managed to get the SongSelect Lyrics Service import to work, but only after I switched practice mode OFF. However, if I closed down SSP and opened it again I got the same error I was having before (see above). If I then turned practice mode back ON (and did the mandatory SSP restart) it works again! This cycle keeps repeating every time you close down SSP and come back to it later. I hope this helps!

This is the same problem I have with Vista Ultimate --- Using the workstation version of SSP.  -- It happened after a SSP update, not Windows though.

You guys need to get these bugs fixed, computers don't come automatically loaded with XP anymore.

mposter,

In response to our email communication, I am glad that turning off the practice mode resolved your particular issue. 

All,

We will continue to look at this odd behavior and see if there is an identifiable root cause to address.

If anyone would like to give further input on this, please answer the following questions:

What version of Vista are you using?
Are you on a workstation or projection installation?
Did it work the first time after switching out of practice mode?
Have you tried it several times with SSP and system restarts since it started working again?
Have you tried going back to practice mode to see if it will fail again?

This information would be helpful in tracking root cause of this issue.
- GEORGE

It's crashing on SSP startup?

I would try a reinstall. If that didn't help, I'd dig though add/remove programs and uninstall it.

Hi,
Actually the Practice mode has not been removed, per se, it was just changed to "Embed Display" along with some operational enhancements.  To the end user, the function is the same.  Please review the KB on this change at this link.

This should help - If that does not show up either, you can give support a call.

(George, His post was actually about SongSelect import crashing in Vista again.)

The January 2008 Edition of SSP will include upgrades to the SongSelect import plug-in. We'll test it with Vista to see if we can fix any lingering issues.

When you say "crash", do you mean an error message pops up, but the import proceeds anyway without any problems, or does it crash an prevent the import from succeeding. The former is what has typically been reported.

For me, Vista pops up a message telling me the application has crashed and it ends the process. The entire application is closed and the only way to get going again is to re-open SSP.

So this occurs when you first open the SongSelect import window, or after clikcing the save icon to complete the import process?

This is correct. When I had the function of "practice mode" it went away. As soon as I did this latest update --- the beast is back.

Mark,
Tim replied to my email indicating that he moved back to XP some time ago (I guess his response regarding this Vista issue was from memory) so it looks like I need some info from you to look into this further. 
If you did not get my email let me know here and I will resend.  I used the email address associated with the forum acct that I have used before.

Again to reiterate - the "practice mode" function still exists - it is called "Embed Display" and the controls are in the same place as the former "Practice Mode" as described in the KB article.

Thanks,
- GEORGE

Got rid of version 7 --- everything is back to normal again. I think I will wait for some better updates first. Works fine on Vista without this last update. If you get rid of the practice mode... you are unable to use the song select import. I will wait for a better update on this fix.

I am running Vista Ultimate and just updated to the April 5/28 release of SSP. When I try to import a song through the Song Select Import module, I get a window that pops up and says that Song Show Plus as stopped working would I like to search the Net and find a solution or close the program. Either option closes the program. I will be rolling back to a later version as mentioned above, however, I wanted to keep this issue on the screen as it is a pretty big deal breaker for me.Thanks, Eric

I'd call Tech support and report it to them. It may help troubleshoot and eventually fix this if there is specific data (logs, whatever) they could look at.

I'm doing an evaluation of SSP7 (Jan 2008 edition) running on Windows Vista Home Premium (SP1). Everytime I attempt to import a song from the SongSelect website, the program crashes as described by others above ("SongShow Plus has stopped working"). Given that I have an evaluation version, tech support has been of no help even though they requested all my configuration information, which I provided. Any suggestions? Needless to say, the evaluation is not going very well.

RE: Recommended Professional Level Video Cards (DI009) by George in Display Issues

*******ALERT*******

There has been a reported fan speed issue related to the NVIDIA 196.75 video driver. Consumers are reporting low video card fan speeds, overheating and hardware failure.

LINK TO NVIDIA DRIVER NOTIFICATION

This particular driver is not one that was recommended by the SSP Team, however there may be cause for concern if you recently updated your video drivers.

NVIDIA has removed the 196.75 driver version from the download area but it is worth checking your system to ensure you do not have it installed.  If you have this driver installed the recommendation is to uninstall it immediately and install an older driver.

RE: LogMeIn.com by fbcgoshen in Tips & Tricks

I use logmein every week to set up my program. As a matter of fact i just got done setting up the service for tomorrow using this. It comes in really handy if you are unable to attend a service and they are having issues. I have corrected monitor settings and what not from my office or lazyboy.

The other thing is we have a digital mackie mixer hooked to a different pc. I am able to run the board from home. I am able to work on the live audio feed from home since you don't always know what is going on with the feed at the church. I can also help other sound techs when they have issues.

I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is free unless you want the advanced features. It is also a good way to keep office computers going.

RE: Bug in 2/26/10 build by akins in User Support - V7

I might add to what George said by directing you to "presets" for songs and other items. We use somewhat similar formats for songs and scriptures each Sunday and I have "preset" these for quick application. I then can make modifications as desired for a particular Sunday.

RE: How to use ssptimer files by akins in User Support - V7

Just select the type you want (5 min, etc.) from the list and place it in the program. You can then edit the timer changing font, size, color (just two), placement, and two lines of text. Actually, the editing choices are fairly limited and have been the subject of wishes for sometime, but you can usually play around and get a decent look. Right clicking on the timer in the program and selecting "display properties" at the top of the list will allow you to add background color, images, and/or videos and you can apply "advance effects" to any of these.

Right-Click copy/paste menu does not work in PPT song import panel (TS098) by George in Troubleshooting

Symptom:
During a Song import from PPT the right-click menu is no longer available in the Slide Text box when importing song text from a PPT.  This may cause difficulty in editing content. Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible, only the right click menu is affected.   

Possible Cause:
Unknown - the root cause of this is still under investigation.
 
Possible Solution:
Import is still possible and text entry and deletion are possible.  The CTRL-X, CTRL-C and CTRL-V keyboard shortcuts work as well.  If a significant change in the arrangement of the text in the PowerPoint file is needed, this can be done using Microsoft PowerPoint.

H.264 videos or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up (TS097) by George in Troubleshooting

Symptom:
H.264 Video or thumbnails may cause SSP to be unstable and lock up when added or viewed.  

Possible Cause:
It appears that there are some H.264 video that can cause trouble in SSP. At this time this is very rare, however, the root cause of this is still under investigation.
 
Possible Solution:
This was discovered using movie trailer files that would play fine in applications other than SSP.  At this time there is no solution but it is best to try a different file to make sure it is not a wider issue.  Please contact the Support Team and provide the video file for analysis.

RE: Audio clip doesn't restart when slide show restarts by George in User Support - V7

Hmm - Interesting...

I just tried this using blank slides entered as program elements and got the same expected behavior I described before.  Are you using "blank" blank slides (default blank slide is black color only) or do you have something else set for your blank slides?

I would say at this point if the behavior persists and you can duplicated it, contact the support team so they can do a remote with you and actually see what is going on.

RE: SSP Version 5.5 with SongSelect Online by iamgap in User Support - V5.5


I too would recommed that you backup/archive/zip your current R-Technics folder and install the evaluation of version seven. If the PC cannot handle it, which I doubt, do a complete uninstall of Version 7 and go back to version 5.5.

It is my understanding that version 7 is much more stable, and can function more efficiently on an older machine than version 5.5 can.

RE: 32bit vs. 64bit by iamgap in User Support - V7 on Windows 7


To add yet another fly into the ointment...

I didn't realize that my MoBo has a 4 year old (2 yr older than the mobo) chip on it (intel 945). So even though the processor and motherboard can support up to 4 GB of RAM, the chipset can only address 3.2 GB of RAM.

What I am most upset about is that the board advertised that it could support up to 4 GB of RAM, but didn't say it could only address 3.2. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought this board. Time for an upgrade. Now I gotta find a board that supports the RAM that I just bought for this board.

Video file types supported in Video Chain (MI016) by George in Media Issues

The video file extensions that are supported in SongShow PlusTM for the Video Chain tool are a subset of the video file extensions that are supported in SSP globally. 

Keep in mind the required codec/filter still needs to be available on the system for proper playback of these file formats.

  • Video Clip (*.avi)
  • Video (*.mpg4)
  • Video (*.mp4)
  • Video (*.m4v)
  • Video (*.mp4v)
  • Video (*.mov)
  • Movie Clip (*.mpg)
  • Movie Clip (*.mpeg)
  • Movie Clip (*.mpe)
  • Movie Clip (*.m1v)
  • Windows Media Audio/Video File (*.wmv)

If some of the listed types do not appear in the Video Chain panel, review the instructions for selecting visible video types in the KB article MI010.

Cool!! I wonder when they'll finally add this as a feature??? I also wonder WHY it hasn't been added in the past. It just seems like a "No Brainer", because it's a basic feature to support. ESPECIALLY, because we're dealing with a projection type of program. Like I said, PowerPoint supports it and probably has for years... I guess it just confuses me as to why it wasn't always a part of SSP, being the awesome program that it is. GIF's MUST be harder to deal with than I think.

Thanks for your reply.

Update 3:

I have updated to the december release. It appears the problem has gone away for the time being. I noticed there was an update in the visualitation'S .dll . Also this machine is 4+ years old. I wonder if the video card might not be beefy enough for the improvements you have give the program during that time. I did run the hardware test and it didn't have a problem with the card.

Well, the problem is under control for the time being. Let's let it die.
