Re: Beoport hangs during file scan

The action of doing a scan also means it is also reading almost every file on your disk(s).

If any file has a fault in a way that the Windows file handler cannot deal with, then you are likely to get a process hang. The fact it happens in exactly the same place each time means its almost certainly a corrupt file which is causing the problem.

I suggest you run the Windows disk "Error Checker" by opening Windows explorer and right clicking a hard drive, then left click "Properties"

then Click "Tools" then click the button which says "Check Now" next to Error Checking. Do this for each disk on your system.

Beoport hangs during file scan

My beoport 5.00 hangs each time it performs the harddisk scan at 97% of step 3 of the process. I had the same problem with 4.83 and I was hoping that the 5.00 update would fix the problemen, but it didn't.

I tried to remove all mp4 and m4v material that was on the same disk that beoport cannot play anyway, but that didn't help either.

Anyone who knows a solution?
