+CharlieP Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I use Spinner/Plucker to load gpx files to my pda and have recently been having a problem with Plucker locking up on certain files. It locks as it is loading the files, and locks in the same place depending on the file, e.g. file 145 of 1157. I suspect it has something to do with a link in a particular cache page, but am not sure. Anyone know what is wrong? Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've heard of three other users who have experienced the same problem. Two of them sent my GPX files, but they worked fine for me. Plucker ran flawlessly. But I'll try again. Could you please send me your GPX file that has this problem? Also let me know what version of Plucker you're using. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+fizzymagic Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Make sure you have plucker spidering set to only get URLs from the base server. Quote Link to comment

It locks as it is loading the files, and locks in the same place depending on the file, e.g. file 145 of 1157. Just happened to me, and it happened whether the .html output was from spinner or gsak, so the problem does not appear to be related to gpxspinner. I installed the javabase sunrise distiller and it worked like a charm. I've put my plucker distiller out to pasture. Quote Link to comment
+Shilo Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 This just happened to me too for the first time on friday. Maybe its coming from something in the file from gc.com. I shut spinner down and respun the file and it worked fine. LilDevil- I'm not at home until Wednesday so I can't send my file to you. If it happens again I will send it to you if you still want them. Merry Christmas, Shilo via Peru, Indiana Quote Link to comment
+Cathunter Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 After using Spinner & Plucker for a couple of years now, I have recently been having the same problem. Seeing that it's not just me, I have to think that something has been done to the PQ's that causes this. Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I used to have that problem. I replaced Plucker's desktop application with Sunrise desktop. It runs faster, doesn't crash, and allows you to get the pics on your cache pages. Quote Link to comment
+Allen_L Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Well I have found the source of at least one of CharlieP's problems. Geocache GCNGKB has HTML <td style="width:100%;height:10px;" bgcolor="#339933> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="> I not sure why the cache page writer used all these escaped html commands. CharlieP's GPX contains for this geocache <td style="width:100%;height:10px;" bgcolor= "#339933> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="> Then GPXSpinner converts to <td style="width:100%;height:10px;" bgcolor= "#339933> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="> . Notices the escape html is converted to true html, but this isn't the problem But Plucker barfs on the <td align="> It apparently doesn't like the single ". So it isn't directly GPXSpinner's problem, the cache page has bad HTML which browsers ignore. But when GPXSpinner recreates this bad HTML out of the GPX, plucker hangs on it. I don't know if Lil Devil can catch it and "fix" it or not. Quote Link to comment
