Can't load a sequence with .40

[amtrak115]

1) If you go to the Layout tab, does that display?

When I clicked on Layout tab...it hesitated then crashed.  (xlightsproblem8.zip)

2) If you open xlights and immediately open a sequence that includes audio BEFORE going to the sequence tab, does that work?  That should have at least initialized the data that I was seeing being used before it was initialized.

opened a sequence immediately after starting xlights without clicking on anything else..  Crashed....

Wow.   I really have no idea.   There aren't any error return codes for any of the OpenGL calls. All of the drawing that WE do is supposedly succeeding.   The only call after these is the wxWidgets SwapBuffer call.   I really have no idea what to do to fix this.

Can you also try flipping to OpenGL 1.x and seeing if that helps?

Not only that but the crashes are not logging any information about the crash. The last crash in the log was on July 13 @ 4:30pm.

Since then it has crashed a lot without logging anything about the crash. Curiously on 23/7 @ 4:12pm it seemed to run normally ... for a while ... The autosave times are quite slow ... your J drive ... is it an old flash drive or a network drive?

j drive is a fairly new USB stick.  When I entire J drive (usb stick) over to the hard drive.  I got the same thing.

move the J drive to an intel laptop and it worked fine..that's was on .40  haven't tried .41 on laptop.  Laptop is my wifes' that I'm stealing to go on a trip tomorrow.

I just stuck a xLights-Win-Test.zip  file up on http://dankulp.com/xlights that contains some new DLL's and exe.   It contains a little bit more logging and some minor fixes.   Can you give those a try?

[amtrak115]

sure I can try that...also,  went to the Windows Applications event log.  attached is the details from the last error with xlights...

Dan/Keith...

I may have found the issue.  if you look at the application event log that I sent the faulting module path is
c:\Progra~2\raptri~1\PlaysTV\......

I believe that is an application that is loaded as part of the AMD display driver set.  once I removed that PLaystv app from my system  everything appears to work.  I'm going to reset everything back to .41 off the distribution site and try it again...

Ok,  it appears that removing that app fixed the issue.  I've started xlight 3 different time loaded a couple of sequences, played them then closed xlights.  everything normal.

thanks for all your help

Nice find.  Wonder how many other AMD users having issues have something like this being loaded.

maybe we should store a list of running programs into log file on a crash?
