Drop of connection on live broadcast and no reconnect until mixxx is shutdown and restarted...

[Demetre]

Hello,

I'm using v2.0.0 and before that v2.0.0 rc1 under win 7, running on a i3 with a Korg nanokontrol2, in general mixxx is stable. However there is a major issue on live broadcasting:

Drop of connection on live broadcast and no reconnect until mixxx is shutdown and restarted...

I have seen other posts complaining about mixxx thinking is still connected and the icon appears to be connected, but
the biggest problem is when 1) You can't reconnect unless you shut down mixxx and run it again and 2) there is no auto reconnect functionality... You can spend hours thinking you are on the air but in fact you not !

I have come to use third party utilities to keep track of the connection which gives me a heads up. Restarting mixxx takes a minute or two which is a minor inconvenience, but when doing an unattended live broadcast and the connection drops it is disastrous...

Thanks

Hi Demetre,
of cause this should not happen.

on which os are you?
Can you provide the mixxx.log of a faulty run as well?

Thank-you Daniel

Hi Daniel,
Sorry for delayed reply.
I'm running mixxx under windows 7. I'll look for the log entries and submit them later today.
Thanks

I'm having problems locating the log file.

I have used the -developer start command, but can't seem to find the log file...

The connection failed again today so there should be data to at, but where is the log file ??

For the location of the ``mixxxx.log`` file, see http://mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/troubleshooting#troubleshooting_other_issues

Also seeing this issue on Windows 10 and another user on Windows 8.1. Often when it happens the shutdown to restart crashes and you need to force kill it.

We have prepared a alpha build with more debug output.

Please try the latest build found here:
http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/master/release/

.. and provide the mixxx.log from a run that disconnects.
