It doesn't work on Windows

[Z-E-D]

I would like to use this plugin, but it doesn't work for me on Windows 7.

• Kushview Element: after scanning says "Deactivated after failing to initialise correctly";
• DDMF Metaplugin: does't recognize it on scan;
• VSThost: the plugin can be added to the project, but this host doesn't support multiple in/out connections and individual channel routing;
• Minihost Modular: the plugin can be added to the graph, but there is no audio flow through it;
• Pedalboard: the plugin can be added to the graph, but it doesn't switch connections when toggling the buttons, i.e. it just pass audio through, e.g. for 2x2 input it pass In1 to Out1, In2 to Out2, In3 to Out3 and In4 to Out4, instead to route to In1 or In3 to Out1 and In2 or In4 to Out2;
• DarkWave Studio: same as Pedalboard.
• Reaper: same as Pedalboard.

Same problem for me. It doesn't work on Windows 11 using Reaper. Audio just passes through without any switching happening when pressing the buttons. I've doublechecked the track routing and it's all correct.

I forked this project and updated the source code to the latest Juce SDK. It builds and it now works on Windows 11! At least with the 10 channels I tested. The release I posted is VST3 only since there seems to be no VST 2 SDK that can be legally obtained and used. The fork is located here: https://github.com/hectorC/ABComparisonPlugin

Thanks for looking into it! Will update the repo!

Upgraded JUCE to 8.0. Don't have a windows machine at hand right now to test...

Here's the latest build: https://github.com/DanielRudrich/ABComparisonPlugin/actions/runs/9505933847/artifacts/1599662893

Thank you for looking into it. I tested it and now the selection works! The only problem is that now the UI doesn't resize with Reaper's window, the way your previous VST2 version and my VST3 build does. I would also suggest to incorporate the pull request (now closed: https://github.com/DanielRudrich/ABComparisonPlugin/pull/8) that fixed the plugin capturing the keyboard after interacting with it, otherwise you have to click outside the plugin window to be able to control Reaper with the keyboard. The fork I did included that patch and it seemed to work well.

VST3 resizing:

Seems #8 has automatically been closed by me renaming the master branch to main. But I've added the changes now, unconsumed keypress no bubble up to the host.

I've added a ResizableCornerComponent so it's possible to resize the VST2 version. I kind of don't want to add VST3 as a default target because of its channel limitations :-/

Great, thank you! Do you have an updated build of the VST2 to test?

Sure! https://github.com/DanielRudrich/ABComparisonPlugin/actions/runs/9530183431/artifacts/1605081088

Thank you. Everything working great on Windows now!
