midi port hangs using loopMIDI Windows10, forcing reboot to reconnect port #64

Closed moebiussurfing closed 5 years ago

moebiussurfing commented 6 years ago

I am having problems sometimes when using 2 virtual midi in ports (loopMIDI / OF repo / Windows 10). The midi in port hangs and can't be reconnected restarting the OF app, and I need to reboot the computer.

No way neither stopping / play the midi port on the loopMIDI gui panel. It says some error message about "HWmidi-mapper-media-device_blabla" to the console, when I try connect again to the midi in port (restarting the app)

There's any way to stop/kill the "windows media midi port service" or something to avoid the main reboot?

Both midi in ports are reciving from Ableton. One for midi notes and the other for MTC (using the new updates) I am using only one newMidiMessage shared by the two ports...

I don't have a windows install available right now. I imagine it's an issue with RtMidi and I suggest asking their developers.

Did you get this to work?

That sounds kind of suspect as the ports might be running on different MIDI threads and there could be a resource access issue. If you aren't seeing any random crashes of the entire app, however, then perhaps this is not the issue.

Yes, it worked. Not sure what was my mistake..
