Audacity - playback sound quits, cursor continues, user input ignored

Submitted by RichR on March 20, 2020 - 4:22pm

Just as I was about to post this on audacityteam.org, I figured I should try here, first. If this has been mentioned here before, I apologize but, since it's not in Known Issues...

I'll be playing a track in Audacity and suddenly, after I do something — not sure but I think I pressed the spacebar to stop — sound stops, the cursor keeps on going as if it's still playing, and the application won't respond to the mouse, keyboard or anything. This continues until the cursor reaches the end of the track. Then, everything returns to normal.

wxMP3Gain

Submitted by ElSid on January 28, 2020 - 4:38pm

I just found this after using MP3Gain.zip for way too many years.
Happy that this fires up; however, is there a reason why it's using version 1.5.2 of MP3Gain? The latest version, from 2018, is 1.6.2 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mp3gain/files/mp3gain/) and this App was uploaded in November 2019
I don't know how to compile this stuff to self update. Assistance is requested

PotPlayer Settings Inconsistent

Submitted by Huisie on August 23, 2019 - 6:03am

I have spent hours trawling the interwibble and searched this forum but can't find an answer to the problem I am having with PotPlayer settings. Apologies if the answer is available and I'm just not seeing it.

Basically, I install PotPlayer and set it up as I prefer. When I open PotPlayer, it uses the settings I choose. I can open a media file from within PotPlayer and have the player use the settings I choose.

Audacity Portable opens the Audacity Manual and Quick Help in browser

Submitted by PortableJeff on August 11, 2019 - 9:26pm

Even though the PortableApps installation (2.3.2) has a folder, apparently located in the correct position, with the contents of the Manual and the Quick Help, when I attempt to open either of them from the Help menu, they open online in the browser instead of locally.

Is there a workaround for this, or is it a bug requiring programming correction?

PotPlayer information

Hello, as I said in another topic, PotPlayer probably became adware, so do you plan to release the next versions (without adware)?

I found also some issues in the program description:

System Requirements: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
- AFAIK, 1.7.17508 is the latest version which support Windows XP

[Fixed] VLC Portable: "Java not found" error when I play a Blu-Ray

Submitted by XJDHDR on June 7, 2019 - 11:41pm

When I tried to play a Blu-ray disc with VLC, I was informed that VLC could not find Java and so it could not display the disc's menu. This is despite me having Java Portable available.

I did some digging and found that the reason for this is that the PortableApps Launcher for VLC was not coded to expose Java Portable to VLC. After noticing this, I added the required lines to the config files then re-compiled the Launcher EXE and tried VLC again. After I did this, VLC was able to play the disc's menu.

Audacity, no crash recovery process?

Submitted by RichR on May 21, 2019 - 3:46pm

UPDATE: Hah, never mind! When I closed the unhelpful Audacity instance and right-clicked on the unedited file to "Open with >" and start over again, Audacity Portable did, indeed, offer to recover the crashed projects, just like 'normal' Audacity does. Not sure why it works that way but I'm thankful I didn't lose all those hours of edits. Smile
