melodayIs there a list of vst’s that are known to crash Podium? I’ve searched the forum and found that FL and some Betabugs were causing Podium to crash. Niether of those is the culprit though.
This is occuring after i ‘select the vst folder’ then ‘create’. Podium loads most of the plugins….i removed spectral monkeyage and my haydnx midi plugs folder after noticing that they were causing the crash. With those removed, Podium scans my vst folder but now it doesn’t crash, it just freezes without recovery.
thanks!
melodayokay. so uninstalled Podium CM and reinstalled the demo 1.8. When i scan my vst folder i get no crashes, even with the haydnx plugs in the folder. however, after the scan completes, i get an error message saying:
‘a plugin has performed an illegal action’.
if this has been covered before, my apologies. could someone point to a relevant thread?
also, if this is a problem with the CM version, zynewave might want to have a specific fix for this build so he doesn’t lose potential newbies who are checking out this fine product via the magazine 😀
thanks!
Zynewavehowever, after the scan completes, i get an error message saying:
‘a plugin has performed an illegal action’
Does the message appear after the scan dialog is closed? Normally it is the last plugin written in the dialog that is the culprit.

yes, the vst scan seemed to finish before the message appeared.
ZynewaveWhat was the last plugin displayed in the scan dialog? If you temporarily remove this plugin, does the illegal action dialog still pop up?
ZynewaveBtw. I just checked the code, and the name and filename of the plugin causing the crash should be mentioned in the error message.

Well, remember this specific error message was with the 1.8 demo, not the CM version. I’ve since, uninstalled the demo version and reinstalled the CM version. If i remember correctly, with the 1.8 demo, the scan seemed to completely finish, then the error message appeared. In that same error message, it said something about saving and closing the project, then reopening it. I did this and the project opened fine with all of my plugins.
With the CM version the scan doesn’t complete and crashes Podium, no error message.
thanks.

in the CM version–i did get an error message for one of the haydnx plugins. After i removed that folder, the scan progressed up to the spectral monkeyage plugin. it didn’t give an error though. i was carefully watching the scan progress and Podium crashed upon scanning spectral monkeyage. i removed SM and rescanned. Now, during the scan, Podium doesn’t crash–instead it freezes and doesn’t show any errors. i have to force shut down podium at that point.
thanks.
melodaycorrection! With the CM version–i tried to scan again. this time when podium freezed, instead of force quitting, i just left it open for a few minutes. After a few minutes being frozen, the same error message that i got in the demo version appeared:
‘A plugin has performed an illegal action. This may have caused memory corruption in Podium. it is recommended that you save any changes to your project as a new file to avoid overwriting your original project file with potentially corupt data. Finally you should restart podium to avoid further instability of your system’.
No other message appeared; no name and filename of the plugin causing the problem.
thanks.
ZynewaveMy bad. The error message contains the plugin name only if the crash occurs when loading the plugin in an arrangement.
If you remove the Monkeyage plugin, will the scan then complete?
Is there a website for this Spectral Monkeyage? It seems the official site is gone.

yes, if i remove the spectral monkeyage plugin along with haydnx plugins the scan completes. But i still get the ‘plugin has performed an illegal action’ message.
so, one of the plugs in my vst folder doesn’t agree with Podium. I’ll find it eventually….instead of scanning my whole vst folder for every project, i’ll just scan the classics series folder because i know they’re stable….then just add plugins one by one as i need them for that specific project….i suppose i’ll come across the disagreeable plugin at some point.
thanks.
