Parts of GUI missing on Linux + VST3 #6

Closed fractalf closed 2 years ago

fractalf commented 2 years ago

This was in Bitwig 4.1.6 on Linux Mint 20.3. Just tried some synths I use that already have LV2 plugins installed

Typically a plugin's problem. But all of those on your list have non-LV2 versions, so it does not really matter much.

fractalf commented 2 years ago

Yes, this is true, just though I'd report. I'm trying to get x42 stuff working now... How to have Ildaeil look into ~/.lv2 ?

falkTX commented 2 years ago

you shouldnt have to do anything for LV2, it will use LV2_PATH env var if set, but it has sane defaults if unset. but the synth version will only show synths, fx will only show fxs etc.

fractalf commented 2 years ago

Right ofc, sorry my bad.

So, what about this one? This should display more of the GUI, kind of simular to the synths

falkTX commented 2 years ago

Right, yes, this is an odd one. We can see the outline of the top bar, so Ildaeil doesnt resize its internal window properly. Does it happen with other hosts in your system too?

Are you using the VST2 or VST3? I am guessing this only happens with VST3, not VST2

fractalf commented 2 years ago

I only have Bitwig, no other hosts. Yea this is the VST3 one.

Hang on, let me check VST2...

..Oh yea, working perfectly! :)

This is so freaking amazing, now I can finally use some of the x42 stuff in Bitwig.

You are an audio hero, thank you very much :)

Ok, the VST3 support is experimental, so I kinda expected this. Will be fixed in a future release, for now good to know VST2 still works fine. Will update the ticket title

mikobuntu commented 2 years ago

Confirming the VST3 behaviour on Renoise & Reaper too , but it works perfectly in Tracktion_Waveform_12.0.46 ( beta ) , so this issue might be how the host DAW implements VST3 ?

tank-trax commented 2 years ago

this is an issue I have seen with a few VST3 plugins across various hosts

falkTX commented 2 years ago

This should be fixed in latest builds, or building from source with latest git. Confirmation would be very welcome, I am hoping to tag new release tomorrow. Thanks!

fractalf commented 2 years ago

This should be fixed in latest builds...

I can test this an confirm, but couldn't see the latest builds (only 1.0 from feb)

falkTX commented 2 years ago

couldn't see the latest builds (only 1.0 from feb)

right, I found other issues with the vst3 so I had to postpone the release.

thanks for confirming anyhow, appreciated. closing ticket now.

fractalf commented 2 years ago

just to avoid any missunderstanding, I meant i could test it, but need the builds :) when done, I will test and then i can confirm

falkTX commented 2 years ago

ah ok sorry, I totally misunderstood. you can use the github actions tab to get "nightly" builds, like https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/actions/runs/2678367263 just pick the one that matches your system, at the bottom.

fractalf commented 2 years ago

No sorry, no worry m8, I wasn't clear enough.

Tested today and working fine with vst3 in Bitwig 4.1.6 on Linux Mint 20.3!

Thanks a lot for all your effort!
