Hi Enrike, please, for PD-related questions, always write to the list. Some questions appear again and again and others should be able to look them up in the archives.
I am testing on mac a patch that uses xsample and py. This sample was working fine in the computer i was using previously but now it does crash PD. I try to describe the situation to see if you have any idea of the problem.
Creating xplay~ or xgroove~ is ok but then if i move click on the xplay or xgroove or any pd subpatch, crashes pure data after a couple of secs being frozen. Note that clicking or modifying pd objects like
- or atoms doesnt cause the crash.
If I run PD from terminal i get this when crashes Pd : signal 4 closing audio ... closing MIDI ... ... done. pd_gui: pd process exited
however i did some other tests and i found out that: The xsample examples work ok, even if i try to move pd subpatches etc.. Creating an empty canvas and creating there xsample, xgroove or xplay is ok
What is the difference between what you describe in the last sentence and the situation above?
do you have any ideas why this is happening? i talked to Hans and he pointed into the externals. I tested this in different versions of PD, basically in the extended versions with same results. Initially i was using exactly the same version i was using in previous computer, i think it was 0.39.4-extended-RC7, now i am on RC4. Millers ditro does not crash but i get a very strange error, it doesnt load xsample, so i foused on my tests on 0.39.4-extended-RC8
When you say, Miller's distro doesn't load xsample, which error message (with -verbose) do you get? Above all, which xsample version are you running?
best greetings, Thomas
