VU meter not working on compiled FX plugin

[rzrsharpeprod]

Evening all,

I have been struggling for the past couple of hours or so trying to get the VU meter working in my exported FX plugin. I have tried searching the forum too but couldn't find an answer that worked.
It works fine inside HISE and the meter(s) respond as expected to the sine wave generator I have in there to test

I have added
ENABLE_PEAK_METERS_FOR_GAIN_EFFECT=1
and
ENABLE_ALL_PEAKS_METERS=1
in the extra definitions but the meters don't respond in the exported plugin.

Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks in advance

@rzrsharpeprod Is it showing no value at all?

Yes it's showing absolutely nothing in daw but it reacts as expected in HISE before compiling

@rzrsharpeprod Can you show a screenshot of your module tree?

[rzrsharpeprod]

@d-healey I'll upload one when I get back from work tonight

@d-healey sorry for delay on this I have had an unexpectedly busy few days.

I reverted back to an old dynamics based VuMeter script and that I have used before.
This seems to be working in the same FX plugin so I think something is probably wrong with the code I tried to implement that was using the getMasterPeakLevel.

Lesson learned, stick with what worked in the past/if it ain't broke don't fix it basically.

Thanks for your responses though, appreciated as always

I wonder if it is the same bug I reported here:

'getSourceGainValue' not working in compiled app

I have 2 types of meters. The 1st uses 'getCurrentLevel()' to get the value of ChildSynths. The 2nd uses 'getSourceGainValue()' to get the value of the synth...

@Christoph-Hart Can you please have a look at this issue as well?
