Arena Crash when loading Spout Source

Post by AdevProjects »

This is something that I have no actual use for but I happened to discover. On windows with Spout installed, if you load the Spout Cam source Arena crashes. This is with spout output in Arena disabled.

Also, if it didnt crash, what would happen if you had spout output enabled? A crazy feedback loop?

Yes a crazy feedback loop !

Now that Arena has Spout output, SpoutCam picks up Arena which is itself which is Arena and itself and so on and so on and it disappears into itself.

What you need is another sender running as the most recent sender, then SpoutCam will pick that up first.

The next version of SpoutCam will have control over this, You will be able to double click on the SpoutCam source and select the sender you want.

In any case you should not need to use SpoutCam at all within Arena.
