| Summary | 0000268: if sound file doesn't exist when loading session, ardour won't exit cleanly | ||||
| Description | I had sound files in partition that I forgot to mount, and loaded (recent) session that used these files. Ardour gave errors (log attached) and when I try to quit, I get SegFault. (Sometimes I don't even have to press 'quit', ardour segfaults itself as soon as I click Session menu) Also, JACK says: jackd watchdog: timeout - killing jackd Here is shell output from the whole episode: Ardour/GTK 0.436.0 running with libardour 0.720.0 Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /root/.ardour/ardour.rc MIDI: MTC on port c0d0 MMC on port c0d0 Use of deprecated SAXv1 function internalSubset ardour: [ERROR]: KeyboardTarget: unknown action "set-mouse-mode-pan" ardour: [ERROR]: KeyboardTarget: unknown action "set-mouse-mode-automation" Loading session /home/signifer/treenit/ma16.2. using snapshot ma16.2. stopping peak file builder thread stopping disk butler thread Segmentation fault | ||||
| Additional Information | Here is ardour's log [ERROR]: SndFileSource: cannot open file "/mnt/test/ch1.wav" (System error.) [ERROR]: Found a sound file that cannot be used by Ardour.

Also with Ardour/GTK 0.446.0 running with libardour 0.724.1 |
|
|
Is this still an issue? What should ardour do if a file can't be found? Just keep going? Draw a black region with an X in it where the missing region would go? |
|
|
Maybe ardour could just generate silence there and inform the user that sound files were not found. |
|
|
Protools informs the user that files were not found and starts to search them. It would be good to have dialog to inform about this and give the user a chance to locate the files manually or just skip the file and draw the black regions with an X where the missing region would go This raises some questions: Q: What happens if the user gives sound file that is bigger/smaller than the region of the missing file? A: Just place the new region start according to the missing region start and get rid of the missing region. Q: What if the user-located sound file causes some load error and can't be loaded? A: Give the dialog again so user can choose to skip the file or locate another one. edited on: 09-02-04 05:43 |

Ardour/GTK 0.529.3 running with libardour 0.827.4 now it doesn't segfault, it just aborts I created new session, inserted audiofile to regions/name list, inserted one track and dragged the audiofile from regions/name to the track. Save, Quit. Then deleted the original audiofile and started Ardour again, loaded the saved session and waited a while for some harddrive action and then Ardour aborted. Here is the log: Ardour/GTK 0.529.3 running with libardour 0.827.4 Loading UI configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_ui.rc Loading system configuration file /usr/local/etc/ardour/ardour_system.rc Loading user configuration file /home/tuimonen/.ardour/ardour.rc ardour: [ERROR]: MIDI: no such port device ardour: [WARNING]: No MMC control (MIDI port "c0d0" not available) ardour: [WARNING]: Your system generates "Mod2" when the NumLock key is pressed.

believed fixed in 0.9beta21. please report back. ardour will now open a session even if some source files are corrupt or missing. |

Missing sound files don't cause problems anymore |
