FxTeleport + VI Editor open = crackles

[St_phane]

Hello,

I'm testing the VI with 4 Fxteleport slave computers. I've several problem and the first one is that I've a lot of dropouts when the VI GUI is open. The Fxteleport panel shows me some dropouts even if i don't play.
If I close the VI GUI, everything is working correctly.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Paul,

The 5 computers are differents, from a P4 2.4Ghz with 1Gb of ram, to a P4 3.6Ghz with 4Gb of ram.

Nuendo 3.2 on the master with a Rme Digiface
Fxteleport v1.04
VI v1.06
Lan : 1Gb an all computers with a 8 ports 1Gb switch.

This setup was used with COP Pro + Gigastudio 3, and was working perfectly.

Hi,

this happens on all 5 computers in the same way, and only when the GUI is open, right?

Does anyone else experience this behaviour? It hasn´t happened on our systems yet...

Thanks,

Paul

[St_phane]

Yes, it happens on the 4 slave computers, and only when the VI window is open.

I don't know if someone else experience this problem, it's why i post on this forum [:)]

I sent a mail to the fxteleport support, and waiting for an answer.

I will testing with a fresh computer this afternoon

I have the same problem without FXteleport ... I have to close the GUI and it works well.

i only have one suggestion from experience - changing display device colour quality from 32-bit to 16-bit on the servers. Of course it could be something totally different, but i had a similar problem with fx-teleport until i tried that.

Some fresh news :

I installed VI and Fx teleport on my notebook : no pops (don't know why)

I found several stranges behaviors :

- On the 4 slaves computers, if the VI Gui is open, and if I change the screen resolution or the color deth, the crackles diseapears. But if I close the gui and reopened it, the drops are back.

- If I move the window outside the visible area : no crackles

And the most beautiful one : If I click on the Vienna Instruments logo, a little animation appear in the "central info screen", and.......... no more crackles [[:|]]

Please help me as soon as possible, I should leave my customer studio tomorrow.

Regards,

I don't know if this other problem is related to the VI but I wanted to give all the informations :


On the slave computers, there are Fxteleport, VI and the Vsti Host "bidule".

When I close a Nuendo session on the master computer, and if the Vi gui is opened, it closes the Fx server too.

If the VI Gui is closed, the server stays online but doesn't free up the memory, and sometime I've got a VI bug.

I don't have these problems when I use EnergyXt instead of Bidule.

Best,

After a clean windows install on the 4 slave computers, I don't have the drops on 3 computers, but the problem remains on the n°4 :

I don't have the memory problem anymore.

I still have some crashs if I don't close the VI GUI before I leave a Nuendo session : The "server.exe" from Fxteleport quit, or I've got the Vi crash you can see in my precedent message.

After one week with many many tests, I think, there is really a bug in the VI Gui.

Ok, since the VI 1.1 update, no crackles left on the Pc n°4 [:)]

I have to do some tests to check the others problems.

Thanks

Stéphane, my apologies for editing your post - but the size of your screenshot streched the iframe too much to the right .... (if you send me an email with your registered email address i can move the file to your personal userfolder)

the graphical bug ... i remember a similar problem ocured for another user, but i can't remember now if it was a graphic driver issue or could only be fixed reinstalling windows ... have you changed some registry values for the GUI resources or applied a very strong gigastudio optimization?

The strange thing is that I don't have any of these problems whether the GUI is open or not. I haven't updated to 1.1 yet (in the middle of a project), but it will be interesting to see if the situation changes.

i should have added, that this appearance ocured with an earlier version of the ViennaInstrumentsPlayer, so it is not depending on the version but to local drivers/settings.

I had several problems a few months ago with some computers previously used with gigastudio, even though I had reset the memory settings. A clean windows install solved a part of these bugs, but not all.

I still had various GUI problems until v1.1.

Now, I need to go deeper in the tests to see if this new release solve everything.


BTW : Is there a good reason for v1.1 not supporting LAA ?

[cm]

AFAIK the capabilty for LAA has to be present for the host - if you talk about the stand-alone version, i hav to ask ...
christian

[St_phane]

Yes, I talk about the standalone version.
V1.06 standalone : LAA
V1.1 standalone : not LAA
