Midi Overlay Panels in Compiled Plugin Crashing DAWS?

Soundavid

@Goodflow Its working like charm for me too in my system, Im going to build it on windows today and report

Goodflow

@Soundavid All good on Windows here so far (tested HISE & plugin). Firing up a Linux vm to complete the trifecta, but this really seems to have done the trick.

@Goodflow Ok I debugged a lot this problem and I think I found the culprit... the problem persisted in my project when i called an expansion that loads the Midi Overlay and this is what I found.

The Plugin Crashes when is removed and loaded again but only if there is one instance running.

If you have multiple instances and remove/load the plugin works fine but when you remove the last one and try to load it again it crashes.

This means that the problem is when the plugin is closed completely so I checked the Midi Overlay Factory class in the source code and I found that the class is derived from the DeletedAtShutdown class from JUCE, this class deletes everything when the app is closed but maybe JUCE doesn't call this in plugins until the last instance is closed...

So, I removed the DeletedAtShutdown from the Midi Overlay Factory class in the Source code of the plugin (not re-building hise) and the problem disappears in the plugin...

I tested the plugin today in Logic checking memory and Cpu loads and works perfectly for now but maybe this could be a problem with another type of Midi Overlays or using the Standalone App or Windows (im using two MO tiles, Drag n drop and Midi Viewer).

@Christoph-Hart Maybe you might want to check this out

I have the same crash and I want to try your solution but I'm a little bit confused about what to delete where to delete? Can you point it more clear for a newby please?

@mehmethand

HISE/hi_components/midi_overlays/MidiOverlayFactory.h

Line 40:

class MidiOverlayFactory: public DeletedAtShutdown

gets changed to

class MidiOverlayFactory

This fixes the Midioverlay Disappearing?
@Matt_SF Matt, Take a look ️‍️

Matt_SF

@ILIAM @Goodflow awesome. Thanks!

d.healey

@ILIAM Is there a PR for this on github?

Matt_SF

@d-healey not yet. I though i'd make a PR tonight after verifying it

d.healey

@Matt_SF Noice, yeah good idea to check it doesn't break anything

Is there not a risk to let something pending in memory if it's not deleted?

Matt_SF

I haven't faced any weirdness while tesing it, but of course I can't test it on different systems, so that's a questions for @Christoph-Hart : should I make a PR ?

ILIAM

@Matt_SF Matt,Hey
So the Disappearing tile fixed?
did you tried on different DAWs ?

Matt_SF

@ILIAM Yes. I've tested it in Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper and Cubase

Great news, fam! Everything’s runnin’ smooth as butter — no issues at all with the MIDI Overlay Panel on Windows 10.

Tested the plugin in these DAWs so far: Ableton, Reaper, Cakewalk Sonar, and FL Studio — all solid!

big shoutout to @Goodflow for puttin’ in that work, squashin’ the bug, and droppin’ the fix!

ILIAM

@Matt_SF You tested on Windows too or Mac?

Matt_SF

@ILIAM On windows only - My plugin is not compiling on mac yet because of network compiling errors, on the latest commit.

ILIAM

Yo @Matt_SF, I’ma give it a shot. I’m runnin’ the 2024 HISE build right now — don’t think there’s been any major changes to the MIDI Overlay Panel lately, so if it’s solid on the older version, it should be all good on the new one too. I’ll report back with the Mac results in a few hours!
