Reaper OSX Crashes without warning (FIXED)

simonluca · 09-25-2019, 02:44 AM

Hello Everyone,
since a couple of months Reaper crashes from time to time without any warning or any sign; it just quits. I thought it was a problem connected to a very heavy project I was working on but no, today it happened again with a kind of light one.

these are the first lines of the crash report, if you need more I copied the full report to notes:

Hi can you send the full report to support at cockos dot com?

(It does appear this is a video-related crash, btw)

simonluca · 09-25-2019, 05:09 PM

hi justin, I just sent it.
thank you,
SL

Justin · 09-25-2019, 07:13 PM

Got it, thanks! I think I have it narrowed down, the next pre-release build (tomorrow) should hopefully fix (if not, I will have some more requests!).

Hopefully not hijacking here, I've been getting similar crashes too!

Not sure what that really has in common -- the OP's crash was the video thread, this is the main thread. Include the main thread's call stack and we'll have a look.

I have no idea how to read these - but other crashes the reports look similar and usually name a random plugin in the first part. Is this what you need? Thanks for the help!

To read these, first you look at the "crashed thread" in the top block, which in your case says "0 reaper". Then you look up "Thread 0", and you see:

Code:

com.plugin-alliance.plugins.au.BXConsoleE

That's the key. Giving that stack can help (so we can see how it is being called), but given the rest of the stack it very much appears like an issue with the BrainWorx bx_console E Audio Unit...

karbomusic · 09-26-2019, 06:23 AM

I thought those were stack frames.

That's a big help, thanks Justin. I'll keep an eye on these and send you the right info if it keeps happening....they were happening a couple of times a day last week, but I haven't had one in a couple of days now!
