2.1 and 2.2 release not working on Windows 10 #26

Closed nivinm closed 3 years ago

nivinm commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I tried running midi-relay 2.1 and 2.2 on two PC's using rtpmidi on both machines or bome network on both machines. Machine 1 was using ProPresenter 7 7.4.2 and machine 2 only had Companion running. The goal was to send a cue from Pro7 to companion to press certain buttons.

Each time I ran midi-relay (2.1 or 2.2) it would not see the cues coming from Pro7. I ran the settings page and everything was blank, even though the console said it was able to load the input and output midi ports.

Troubleshooting

  1. I could use midi view on the Companion PC and I could see the midi coming over from Pro7 PC
  2. I went the reverse (turned off midi-relay on Companion PC, turned on midi-relay on Pro7 PC) sent a midi cue from Companion PC to the Pro7 PC and it was able to read the midi cue.
  3. I used the midi-relay API to query for midi inputs/outputs - found everything
  4. I tried adding a trigger through the api and it said invalid midi port (even though the last api found it)

Solution I ran midi-relay 2.0 on the Companion machine and (yay) worked perfectly.

Did you run it from source at any point, or just the binaries?

nivinm commented 3 years ago

I did, but ran into various missing modules. After I installed one it would complain about the next, after the third one I figured there are a lot of modules that are missing :). Is there a way to run a script of required modules and then install?

Error: Cannot find module 'request' Error: Cannot find module 'express' Error: Cannot find module 'body-parser'

Oh you know what, I just ran npm install inside of the source directory and it took care of all the missing modules. Then ran node main.js and it worked!

Great!

Can confirm, released binaries 2.2.0 for Windows do not pick up any of the MIDI devices on my machine nor other hosts. Multiple machines tested. Suggest reopen or re-release? I have not tried source yet.

Try from source as it’s likely a packaging issue with the binaries.
