sc_serv crashes on new track and no metadata

[oarking]

so this wasn't happening yesterday nor the 4 days prior, then all of a sudden i wake up today the station is crashed, sc_serv crashes when it switches songs and the id3 tags aren't being transmitted which WAS working before last night.

the error that *randomly appeared last night* is as follows, the next track gets queued and as soon as it switches it says:

code:


terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

  what():  XML parser error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 7

Aborted

now i looked in the conf files and line 7 is commented out properly (it's part of a description not a command at all), *in fact* the error changes at random between line 7, 5, and 3.

i can relaunch sc_serv and it will play for 1 song just fine then crash all over again with the same error but a different line number.

the second part of this is that the metadata/id3 info suddenly doesn't work. if i restart everything then the metadata will show up correctly and be correct for a couple hours then suddenly it starts crashing all over again. in my sc_serv logs it says:

code:


2011-06-17 23:35:27	E	msg:virtual void AOL_logger::consoleLogger_element::log(const AOL_logger::message&) Error writing to console

and in sc_trans it says:

code:


2011-06-17 23:34:06	E	msg:virtual void AOL_logger::consoleLogger_element::log(const AOL_logger::message&) Error writing to console

and to drive my point home this all suddenly happened overnight when no one was tinkering with anything and probably no listeners at that time, but it still plagues me.
