Importing MIDI files works just fine here. Is this specific to a given .mid file, and if so, can you share that? What synth do you use when importing MIDI files? Perhaps the issue at hand is the synth plugin? |

It hangs at the import progress dialog pop-up with no progress shown. Clicking on cancel does nothing and I have to hard terminate Ardour 6.7. I've tried several different midi files and synths (sfizz, ACE Reasonable synth, ACE fluid synth). Just now I tried to import cest-si-bon.midi using the default ACE Reasonable Synth and it hung-up. I've attached that midi file. Could this be pipewire 0.3.29 related? There's nothing strange about my set-up and it use to work fine. I also see this in the system log file: 6/8/21 7:02 PM pipewire protocol-native 0x55d3146f8e40: client 0x55d31483e860 error -22 (Invalid argument) followed by hundreds or more of: 6/8/21 7:04 PM localhost plasmashell[9080] Command [V,R,I,A]: Cest-si-bon.midi (3,138 bytes) |

The file imports just fine here (using general MIDI synth which comes with Ardour from ardour.org/download) So either it is indeed PW related, easy to test try Ardour/ALSA or a Pulseaudio, or perhaps some issue with your Ardour built. Is that the official binary from ardour.org? midi_import.png (158,119 bytes) |

I got Ardour 6.7 from the RPM in the Fedora jam 34 repository. I don't seem to have the alsa-backend available at the moment, will look into it tomorrow. From the log error it seems to be pw related, I could try to submit an bug report with them. Thanks |

It's an odd choice but Fedora packages Ardour backends (ALSA, Dummy, JACK, etc) separately. Trying without pipewire first is a good idea. If that works then yes it's a PW issue. |

I'm unable to select the alsa-backend I found what looks like a related issue on pipewire gitlab.freedesktop.org. I added a comment to end linking in this report: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1265 |

see also https://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=8738 which is apparently fixed in pipewire v0.3.30. |
