Crash due to NullReference
Issue #2096
new
Version 7.0-beta-23 System.NullReferenceException
This error pops up ocasionally after selecting a rom and quicky changing to a different one. The roms in question have custom background images in .png format and single .mp3 songs at 48KHz associated with them. The problem seems to be derived from failure to load the .mp3 files on time, but I'm not able to further debug.
Error occurs both in LaunchBox and Big Box.

Thank you Manuel; can you provide the full stack trace?

Unfortunately, when the error occured in Big Box, no error window showed up. In LaunchBox I only got the information for the NullReference, no stacktrace attached. Is there a way for me to force LaunchBox to provide me a more detailed stacktrace? I'm sorry if this is detailed some where I haven't found.

The bug still occurs in the latest beta. I can't understand why it's happening though. The fact that it doesn't show a stacktrace is even more unhelpful. Are there any definitions for media that should be adviseable? I'm using png images, mkv videos with mpeg encoding and mp3 songs edited through audacity in 48KHz. I'm also using VLC as well.

HI Manuel, are you seeing a popup come up at all? Is the app just locking up? I'm confused as to how that error is being presented.

Well, sorry for this Jason, but it seems that after one of the updates the app changed back to use Windows Media Player. After switching back to VLC, I haven't been able to reproduce, so that might have been the issue. For now you can close it. Sorry for the wild goose chase.

No worries, I'll do some testing with WMP if that seems to be causing the issue.

Further testing reveals that the crash seems to occur when quickly switching between 3 different games. If after selecting a second game and the music hasn't yet started playing I try to select a third game, the application will crash. In the background, it will still strugle for a while trying to play the song of the second game, instead of the song of the third game. This easily occurs when quick browsing.
