Kaleidoscope Crashed Xlights
« on: February 24, 2019, 02:02:31 PM »
I put the Kaliedoscope effect on a strand of lights (dragged and dropped), 3 strands in a column 50 lights on each strand and Xlights crashed. I'm using 2019.13.  I attached the crash log.  It's never crashed since then, but anytime I put the Kaliedoscope effect on any model, nothing shows up on either the model or on my whole house model.  I just have a black screen on the preview screen.

Well Keith fixed a Kaliedoscope crash 4 days ago and released 2019.14 2 days ago so you gotta try that first before anyone will look at this.

I'll have to make a correction.  I did download 2019.14 yesterday after the crash.  It has yet to crash, but I just get the black screen when I drop the Kaleidoscope effect on any of my models.  I just dropped the Kaleidoscope effect on one of my models again with the same results.  I attached a zip of the log files.

Did you have an effect on the layer underneath?

I don't see anything useful there it didn't record a backtrace.

Did the crash window appear?  The log almost makes it look like you had it running again in 10 seconds.

Program crashed 1 or two times before this report & then again once after I reported. NO crash window DID NOT appear.

No I didn't have anything on another layer.  I did  take it off and put it back on a couple of times just to double check that I had dropped it where I intended.

Kaleidoscope does absolutely nothing unless there is an effect underneath it on the same model.
