LX crash on OSC data

nizer · Post by **nizer** » Wed Aug 19, 2015 8:05 pm

I am using sliders in Lemur to adjust position on a moving light. It works most of the time, but I get crashes sometimes when I adjust the fine adjustment; or adjust a lot. Is there a way to limit the data that LX is receiving.

Any thoughts?

Is this a crash or is LXConsole becoming unresponsive because of a backlog of OSC messages?

It's a full crash. total bye bye of LXConsole. Mac is still OK.

The latest build 3.9.5 (9123.1) has some serious efficiency improvements that should make this crash impossible.

This build should be considered a beta version of LXConsole 4.0. Focus areas include the main output thread and DMX input. Thoroughly test this version before using live Do not upgrade to this version during a currently running production.

These improvements decrease the time required for some operations on the main output thread to 10% or less of the previous time. This should allow greater responsiveness when LXConsole is being controlled through OSC. But, there's always a risk with big changes that something slipped through the stress testing and could cause a crash...
