Xlights hangs on save... 2019.58

[jumblinjim]

Not sure if this is actually a bug or user error, but here goes:
Issue: - Existing sequence hangs on save.
Version 2019 .58
Tried Settings V1 and V2
If I create a new sequences it appears to works
Logs attached

This appears to have started after I swapped the IPs of two of my matrixes... .133 and .134

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

More info-If I open and save other sequences XLights crashes. see additional logs

10/19/2019 – More detail.
In reading other posts I learned this appears to a rendering issue. Render on Save was on. When turned off Sequences save with no issue.

So, to the rendering issue: this is a recent problem. Started yesterday, and I loosely believe it started after changing IP addresses of two matrixes. Other recent (last few days) changes:
1.   Upgrading multiple FPPs to 3.2
2.   Uploading sequences using V2 to those FPPs (I’ve tried V1) (this feature/function is new to me)

Note: I’m not sure if I have saved a sequence since I upgraded to 2019 .58

In troubleshooting I see many (more than 20 rows) with the below Warning.

WARN: Canvas mode enabled on an effect it is not normally used on. This will slow down rendering.

Makes sense this is related to my issue. Not sure why it just started happening.
None the less now that render on save is off I attempt to uncheck Canvas on all effects applied to the sequence.
The problem is after save the check box returns. I cannot uncheck Canvas to test if this is the root of my rendering issue.

In addition XLights does occasionally crash. I sent logs last night in which is crashed twice saving other sequences. And, this morning it crash while nothing was happening. It was not even attempting to render a sequence. See below from Event Viewer.

Again thank you in advance for any help.

More info:

I installed xLights on a different computer, copied my show folder, and it appears to render with no error.

On the problematic computer I removed xLights, deleted all folders (backing them up), reinstalled 2019.59, apply the show directory, and the problem persists. It hangs on render.

Try updating your video card. It seems to be crashing on exit but other than that I cant tell much more.

OK - Will give it a go. Odd to me that it started seemingly out of nowhere. If I learn anything specific will post back. For now I have migrated to my newer system Thank you for the review/suggestion.
