2016.26 will load to Layout but crashes immediately in Sequencer

[JonB256]

Was running 2016.25 just fine (OpenGL 2.x)

I can open 2016.26 but it crashes just going to the Sequencer tab.

Can you try reseting to 3.x before opening a file (or flipping to any of the other tabs)?   

If you then have problems with the 3.x (rendering or otherwise), post the logs.


I also wonder if you have an older video driver.  Your log has:

Code: [Select]

WaveForm - glVer:  3.3.11672 Compatibility Profile Context  (ATI Radeon HD 4200)(ATI Technologies Inc.)
whereas mine looks like:

Code: [Select]

WaveForm - glVer:  3.3.13399 Core Profile Forward-Compatible/Debug Context 15.201.1151.1008  (AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5800 Series)(ATI Technologies Inc.)

Mine has the catalyst version number in there (15.201.....) and the third param at the start is WAY higher than yours.   You might want to check the ATI the driver autodetct thing at http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/auto-detect-tool  to see if if finds a newer driver.

Daniel, I reinstalled 2016.26, then reset to OpenGL 3.x, closed and reopened xLights.

Now it is not crashing AND I see the waveform (which it would not do in 2016.25 without using OpenGL 2.x)

thanks.  Jon

here is the "problem" file if you need it

I also had a crash when opening a sequence in 2016.26.  In 2016.25 I was set to OpenGL 2.

I manually changed to OpenGL 3.0, closed and reopened XL (2016.26).....did not reinstall.....It worked fine on the restart....

I spoke too soon.

This morning I opened a sequence....It was set to OpenGL 3.0.  .....clicked on the 'icon' for picture that I had previously placed in the sequence and XL crashed and threw the debug report up on the screen.  The sequence opened fine and I could click on other effects to include video and they all worked except the picture effect.  But as soon as I clicked the icon in the sequence for the picture effect it gave me the debug report form.  The odd thing is....once the debug form pops up I can see that the actual picture did load and is visible on the preview screen.  But then the crash comes as soon as I click on either 'cancel' or 'ok' on the debug form.

I dropped back to OpenGL 2.0 and XL won't even open....I just get the debug report box......  Tried auto detect and it has the same results as using 3.0.

I attache the debug zip.....Was using OpenGL 3.0
