================================================== ===============

If you find that the display of tracks in the player and / or the cat is not in sync with the current title,

try to "play" on paramêtres "Stream buffer" and "Player buffer (crossfader)."

 

All peramêtres software are stored in the Windows registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ UpdateTitleApp \ UpdateTitle2 \ Params

It is not advisable to try to change the registry by hand.

 

Tip:

if you need updater titles on multiple servers simultaneously, you can copy the executable in UpdateTitle2.exe UpdateTitle2-stream2.exe

for example, and run the executable in parallel 2nd 1st. Specify the parameters on the 2nd server to manage and press Start.

The preferences will be saved separately. For example, to UpdateTitle2-stream2.exe, preferences will be in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ UpdateTitleApp \ UpdateTitle2-stream2 \ Params

So you can manage as many server as you need by simply copying the executable and renaming it for each new server to manage.
