Invalid or unsupported plugin type #1467

What do I do? It gives this error on every plugin I try (Windows ones). I'm kinda out of options. I kinda need this VST hosting to work on my Linux system so I can route devices to other devices. I'm running Arch linux 5.13.13.

Install the bridges from AUR?

TheJAXi commented 3 years ago

I did.

The plugins/half of them show up in Carla (how do I get the rest to work?), but I'm unable to enable any of them.

TheJAXi commented 3 years ago

Sorry for spamming your thread. I'm kinda in hurry & desperate.

and drag&drop of the dll doesnt work?

TheJAXi commented 3 years ago

Yup it says the invalid plugin thing. The plugins work fine with Windows. I also tried the yab thing (can't remember the name), but the copied plugins don't work either. I wonder if it's something to do with my Linux itself. Is there a command I can use to share some information? Like about the app versions & stuff?

carla might not be recognizing the dll as a plugin. if you run file /path/to/dll (so just the file tool) and post the output, I can see if that is why or not.

carla uses the same stuff as the "file" tool to figure out if something is a windows plugin or not, so my guess is that step is failing.

I'm grateful for the stuff y do. It's alright if this doesn't work for me. I'm just a dummy with Linux still as it's been 4 years since I last used Linux. Decided to switch back a while ago.

Well I am afraid I can't help you. The output that you gave me matches the one that Carla looks for, so the issue is not there. Perhaps your wine setup is just broken?
