Giada crashes upon adding plugin

Post by Trombone enthusiast » Sat Jul 18, 2020 2:19 am

Giada is my first step in to digital music production, and as I was exploring plugins, I ran in to an issue where Giada would immediately crash after I tried adding a plugin to either a MIDI or sample channel. I tried a different plugin, and the problem was the same. Here's the debug message. I am using a Windows 10 OS and Giada version 0.16.3.

Hi, thanks for reporting. This is weird, especially the following part:

Code: Select all

[pluginManager::makePlugin] plugin found, uid=VST-Sitala-831ad220-53697461, name=Sitala...
[pluginManager::makePlugin] no plugin found with fid=VST-Sitala-831ad220-53697461!
Could you please try to delete the plugins.xml file, re-scan your plugin collection and see if the issue persists? The file should be located in the same folder of the executable. Thanks!

Additionally, this is what is found in the XML.

Minor Update:

I decided to try running an older release to help narrow down the source of the problem (release update, windows update, setup of my specific rig, ect.). 0.16.2 Does not have this bug, which strongly points toward the problem being release specific. Tonight I'm going to try comparing the two releases in git to see what changed w/r/t uid and fid. Notepadd++ found 232 instances of those terms in the project. Half of those were just part of the word gUIDe, so Ruling those instances out I have about 100 or so places to look. If someone has a better idea for getting to the bottom of this, let me know and I'll try it.
