1/10/18 Plugins That Cause the Red Dot

[matthewfriedrichs]

Bidoo, Bogaudio, dBiz, and Sonus Modular are all causing the Red Dot issue as of 1/10/18 on Windows. Can any one else confirm this?

[AndrewBelt]

For each plugin,

1. Does it load or not?
2. Does it have versions compiled in? If so, does it match the JSON?

[matthewfriedrichs]

Bidoo: Loads, versions do not match. DL = 0.5.15, .json = 0.5.16
Bogaudio: Loads, versions do not match, DL = 0.5.2, .json = 0.5.3
dBiz: Does not load, can not check version
Sonus Modular: Loads, versions do not match, DL = 0.5.0, .json = 0.5.1

[AndrewBelt]

Cool! That information helps a ton actually. I should ask that in the future.

[matthewfriedrichs]

Glad that I could help. I will also just post that information from now on. :)

Matthew did probably not delete the plugins before updating. Just checked myself on windows (all plugins deleted and fresh install) no red dots for 3 of them.

Bidoo latest version to download is 0.5.16 (the same as in the json)
Bogaudio latest version to download is 0.5.3 (the same as in the json)
dBiz doesnt load - I can confirm (possible wrong SHA256)
Sonus Modular latest version to download 0.5.1 (the same as in the json)

[AndrewBelt]

Okay, hold on. I just confirmed myself that Sonus Modular is compiled with the version 0.5.1. How are you getting incorrect information?

[AndrewBelt]

Why is it not overwriting the old plugin.dll with the newly downloaded plugin.dll?? @matthewfriedrichs Can you investigate? log.txt etc

[AndrewBelt]

@Phal-anx Don't post your tokens. Printing GET URLs has been removed in master, but for the time being, this information needs to be private.

ahhh sry!!

[warning] Failed to load library C:\Users\Matthew\Documents/Rack/plugins/dBiz.zip/plugin.dll: 126
The only issue in the log.

After deleting the folders and .zip files that were downloaded for the Bidoo, Bogaudio, and Sonus Modular, they did install correctly. Sorry about that. I will always be sure to delete both in the future before updating from Rack.

[ghost]

but it should actually override them or am I mistaken?

[AndrewBelt]

Yes, it should. I haven't seen this problem before.

[ghost]

it never did it on my end... (windows 7)

[matthewfriedrichs]

I don't know why, but only some files do not get overwritten. The others update just fine. I could not find anything off in log.txt. The ones that loaded still reported loading correctly.

[AndrewBelt]

Okay, let's put this to rest for now. I've disabled the plugin manager until further notice.

[ghost]

okay,

[matthewfriedrichs]

Understood.

[ghost]

maybe one last thing.. add a message on the plugin manager that it got disabled until further notice to avoid 100+ emails why it doesnt show download links (+Free buttons)

[mdemanett]

Windows it will lock loaded .dlls (in a running process), which prevents deletion, or at least casual deletion.

[AndrewBelt]

@Phal-anx Thanks, done.

@mdemanett Ah, thanks, that's it! My UNIX mind did not think of that. That might actually be the source of every single Windows users' complaints.

[matthewfriedrichs]

That makes sense. I did not think the .dll would be in use if the modules in the .dll were not loaded into the current patch.
