Vamp plugins error

[Habbosrus]

I'm just getting back into things after 12 months off and wanting to have a go at XL. I've gone through the quick setup and all looked good, except for the timings. I wasn't presented with an array of offerings as per the manual, which I'm guessing means the Vamp Plugins haven't been setup correctly. I downloaded the plugins and copied them to a folder as per the following

Win 64 -> Copy qm-vamp-plugins.dll, qm-vamp-plugins.cat and
qm-vamp-plugins.n3 to C:\Program Files\Vamp Plugins (x86)\


I've tried them in a number of folders, but get an error each time. Screenshot and debug report attached. Please help this dill get back into the swing of things.

Check the path you used, the plugins should be in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vamp Plugins" and not what you have posted.


If they are in the correct path, and you still get a error, reinstall xlights and see if the reinstall picks them up.

I have them in the path you've provided. The link I gave is from the read me in the downloaded folder. I'll try a reinstall and see how it goes. Thanks for the info

I am having the same problem, I copied the files to the correct folder and crash xLights. It's not an xLights problem, the same set of files in the exact same location also crash Audacity with mostly the same content in the error reports.

 

[Habbosrus]

Yep, just tried a reinstall and the same error occurs.

Has this actually been tested on Windows 10?

 

[Habbosrus]

Update - I just downloaded the older QM files, installed and no errors when opening. Must be an issue with the new files
Downloaded old files from here

Which version did you decide on?

 

[OzAz]

Version 1.7
was just about to ask if that's what you installed. I've had no luck with 1.71.


here's the old vamp plugin exe install file that used to be on the nutcracker site: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j43ms40cqcvd8qf/Vamp_Plugin.exe?dl=0

Which version did you decide on?

I used the 2011 files, circled in pic. These worked on Win 10 with XL4 (so far)

 

[OzAz]

of course you did notice that on the xlights.org website there's a link to the QM Vamp plugin - version 1.7

Did not see that : :-[

 

[Jay.S]

Awesome that worked. Actually didn't see the circle in the screen shot (my bad). Clearly 1.7.1 hasn't been properly tested on Windows 10...

I had the same problem - try this
for Windows 10 x64
Extract the three files from one of the above links (qm-vamp-plugins.cat, qm-vamp-plugins.dll, qm-vamp-plugins.n3) to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Vamp Plugins\
Right click qm-vamp-plugins.cat and select properties
Down the bottom of the General Tab you will see a Security warning that the file is blocked because it came from another computer. Tick the unblock checkbox
Repeat for the other two files
