Deck-to-deck crash

[Physalis]

Hello,

I have a bug which I can reproduce each time during the session. Resolume 5.0.4, Win 7, 32 Gb RAM, GTX 780M and a Bad luck.

I have 5 decks, ~5 column in each deck (yes, I have a lot of videos DXV3). The firsts layers with 50% alpha transition (it's important I think). Well, when I chose any deck and click on column that starts the clips in the column. When I change the column by another one, the other clips starts with an alpha transition. If alpha transition is not finished and I change very fast the DECK , it makes me a software crash. If I'am waiting for the end of transition and after that I change a deck, It works perfectly. And each time I can simulate this bug with any column and deck.

Thanks for the reply!

What's the size of your composition? you may be maxing out your system especially if your 780m is 2GB.

Compoisition is 1080p. And the 4Gb VRAM.

P.S. And I also checked there are no twitch effect in project

I wouldn't be surprised if this causes a crash.

During a deck switch, all files of the old deck are purged from memory, and the new ones are loaded in. We try to make sure you don't accidentally access a non-existent clip, because this will result in a crash. This is for instance the reason why midi messages are buffered during a deck switch. Your computer reacts very badly when you try to change the properties of something which isn't there

In your case, it sounds like something is going wrong and the transition tries to access the clips in the transition, but one of them no longer exists.

I'll see what we can do to prevent this.

If you need to change decks in the middle of a transition, why don't you move the content your last column in deck 1 to the first column of deck 2, change decks early, and wait for deck 2 to be loaded before triggering column 1?

Edit: I just tested on my MBP and I can change decks no problems in the middle of transitions with multiple 1080p30 DXV movies but I get a crash if I trigger a new column while the deck is loading and the previous transition is underway especially if I do it repeatedly.

To be clear, I'd consider getting in this situation user error.

Switching decks in the middle of a transition is just a bad idea. Of course Resolume shouldn't crash, but it could very well be the fix we make will just cut the transition short when you decide to switch decks halfway through.

Thanks to all for responses and advices!

Yes, now I understand that was a bad idea. The one reason why I did this, cause of a specific live show where I'am playing with a many clips manually using AKAI APC 40 and I prefer to see all clips in Deck on my laptop without scrolling the columns. The show it's really speedy and I change very fast the clips and the decks at the specific moments.
But yes, I agree with you. I will remake my project with one Deck I think.

Thanks!

Maybe this is a DXV 3 codec problem bug !
