Crashes/closes with Rekordbox 6.6.5 #18

Open TheRealMakkus opened 2 years ago

TheRealMakkus commented 2 years ago

After the newest update Rekordbox 6.5.5 this tool does'nt work no more. I updated the path to rekordbox.exe as usual.

After clicking on Start (F5) it closes after 3-5 Seconds.

Windows 11 Pro

Hello Markus,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I can confirm the issue. The workaround for now is to keep a previous version of Rekordbox 6.x installed somewhere. No need to use it to actually mix.

In other words, you can parameter PRACT-OBS to use the 6.6.4 exe file and use the 6.6.5 version to mix.

There's some breaking change under the hood of v6.6.5 that I need to take care of. It may take some time.

Regards, Popal

Thank you for this nice workaround. Actually i am back to the 6.6.4 with no problem. If there is a final fix I will use it. :-)

Good to see there is a pretty easy workaround. I ran into this issue the other day and the workaround works for me as well. Much appreciated!

I was wondering, would this work indefinitely if I kept that version installed? Or could it potentially break entirely with a future version? Reason I ask is because it's tedious having to update the exe location every update thanks to RB's practice of installing each version to a different directory instead of updating in place. If it's possible to just keep PRACT pointed to the 6.6.4 exe indefinitely, that'd be convenient.

I have reinstalled 6.6.4 and pointed PRACT to it, and I am still crashing, let me know if I can provide anything like logs

In never versions of recordbox there is a nice feature: You can edit the time a track has to be playing before it is added to the history. From 60 Seconds to any value of your need. This is great, and i wanted to use pract obs in the newest rekordbox version. I tried this:

Started Rekordbox 6.6.11 and pract obs with the path to rekordbox 6.6.4 in the settings. Now hit play in pract obs. Next: goto settings in pract obs and change the path to the rekordbox 6.6.11. Hit OK, and it works with a 10 seconds instead of 60 seconds interval. Mostly the title-update is done, when the new track is fully mixed. This is sooo amazing!

Maybe this could help you @LePopal for trouble-shooting? Anyway - pract-obs generally works with 6.6.11 and faster pollings with this workaround.
