can't get timing marks

[tombmatt]

have latest release of xlights have audacity and have downloaded the QM vamp plugins. have put them everywhere i could think of (plugins) have them is sys folder have them in their own folder under C:, have them in their own folder in nutcracker, but when i try to start a new sequence  i only get the 50ms timing mark. where is the vamp plugins supposed to go??
thanks tom

Are you using the installer from the xLights download page?  It should put itself where it wants to be I've never picked where it goes.

[tombmatt]

yes i used the download from xlights org page also downloaded the file from vamp plugins page exe and files and copied them to system file and nutcracker 4.0 file also made a vamp file under c: and installed them there. nothing seems to work . open new seq and try to add timing in the wizard and all i get is 50ms.

Install them under program files and ensure you are creating an audio sequence. They won’t show up with an animation.

[tombmatt]

they are installed in both program files and program files x86. i am opening a new musical seq and do not get them listed when i open timings. I am running win 10 development not the commercial version 64 bit but that really shouldn't matter.

[keithsw1111]

Did you install the 64 bit. Version. Check the log. Vamp errors are logged.

[tombmatt]

looked in the log and the plugins show being found  :Loading plugins.
2019-06-10 20:35:38,872 4308 log_base [DEBUG] Vamp: plugin dlls found 13.
2019-06-10 20:35:38,872 4308 log_base [DEBUG] Plugins found 13.
and then it lists all the plugins saw no errors. went to the files and checked and they are the 64 bit version. still don't show up in xlights have closed and restarted several times (xlights) with no change. they do show up in audacity.

If you look at this thread we helped someone with a similar issue.  Their problem was the VAMP_PATH variable was pointing to the x86 program files folder instead of the 64bit one.

the line to point to vamp plugins is not in my set file it has:
c:\program files (x86)\xlights\xlights
c:\program files\xlights;
C:\Program Files (x86)\xLights\xLights

how do i write to this file to add the " VAMP_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Vamp Plugins"

[keithsw1111]

It sounds like a mess. What I would do is delete all vamp installs. Then just reinstall the 64 bit to c:\program files\vamp.

If you need to set a vamp path you will need to google how to set environment variables as there are plenty of guides out there.

[tombmatt]

okay so i deleted xlights and vamp from C:  i went everywhere and deleted everything i could find. Reinstalled xlights and then reinstalled QMVamp plugins from the download page for 64 bit. Still do not get them when I try to create a new sequence using the wizard or from settings - sequence settings - timings. looked at SET from cmd prompt and there is no path to the plugins still.

[keithsw1111]

So they are in program files vamp and you are creating a musical sequence.

Show me the log.

[tombmatt]

have attached log. however i found this:

[keithsw1111]

So it looks like it found them and loaded them. Are you creating an audio sequence.
