Upgrade to EP 1.1 failed

Here is my experience of upgrading.

I did a upgrade of EP 1.0 to 1.1 but the database was corrupt after the upgrade. Wrong content was shown in the creates. If a create was renamed it was then showing nothing or other songs.

I did revert to my backup and it was working perfectly. Then I was doing the upgrade again. Same result.

I removed the E.P and all databases and did a clean install of E.P 1.1 Then I had to recreate all creates again but all loops and cue points are of course lost. After this I hope next version of E.P works better as I have put down a huge work to get it working.

My findings in E.P 1.1 are:

  • Not possible (for me) to upgrade, all creates, loops, cues etc lost.
  • Very high CPU even if no tasks are shown (goes down after a hour) when adding new songs.
  • If order of Title, Artist, BPM etc is changed, E.P forgets it to next time you start E.P

Now some pictures: High CPU with no tasks

Technical This is tested on my MACBook Pro and latest OS. All songs (>40k songs) are on external (exFAT) disk.

Hi Eric, this one point has been noted by a couple of other users, and has been noted to the development team to look into for the future. I appreciate that whilst it only takes a few seconds to re-arrange the columns to individual taste, it’s something which used to stay put on 1.0.

With regards to the loops, cues and crates issues, has any non-Denon DJ software been used to manipulate your music library? If so, it’s worth contacting the supplier/distributor of that software for a data repair remedy.

The only other program used is Serato DJ. No other program used to manipulate the database.
