Bluetooth AirPods connection crashes xlights

[GadgetAddict]

NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT ATTACH A SEQUENCE THAT DEMONSTRATES YOUR PROBLEM THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY YOUR ISSUE WILL JUST BE CLOSED AND NOT INVESTIGATED.

Describe the bug If you have xlights open and you connect your apple AirPods via bluetooth, xLights will crash.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: (and/or link to a short video showing the problem with audio track describing what you are doing)

1. Open Xlights
2. walk away for 10 minutes
3. come back to find your AirPods are no longer connected to your MacBook - click the control center and choose bluetooth and select your AirPods to connect them -
4. xlights freezes and then crashes .

Expected behavior I expect to be able to re-connect previously paired AirPods or any bluetooth headset, without crashing Xlights. Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Apple MacBook M1 - Mac OS 13.0.1 22A400
• • xLights version 2023.21

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.

Nobody is going to "walk away for 10 minutes" to reproduce this....lol. I'd suggest you need to open xLights after the crash and do a Package Log Files and post that zip in case anything in there help identify the crash.

Same thing happens to me when switching between my speakers and my bluetooth headset, or vice versa. Sometimes xLights just being open in the background not playing crashes. xLights_dbgrpt-58481-20231206T170133.zip
