foobar_midi Always Crashing by MoldyPond at 5:06 PM EDT on August 15, 2019

This wasn't the case up until about a year ago but at some point the foo_midi extension causes foobar to crash. It will always wait about 20 seconds before crashing, literally every single time. Uninstalling the plugin fixes everything. I've also been updating foobar at all times and just recently upgraded to a fresh new copy of windows 10 from 8.1 and it's still happening. Just wondering if anyone else knows about this or if it's just broken now. Thank you very much :)

Can't reproduce?

by MoldyPond at 7:57 PM EDT on August 15, 2019

What do you mean exactly? I keep coming back to try again every few months after updating foobar and the midi plugin but it's still the exact same crash every time; for 20 seconds everything works perfectly fine, then just immediately crashes.

I don't have this problem either.

Is it crashing when playing MIDI? Or just when playing anything? Or just when fb2k is running at all? If it's crashing when playing a particular .mid, link to that so it can be tested.

@hcs
Nope, it just crashes after being open for 20 seconds, regardless of whether I'm playing any type of audio file or just sitting there doing absolutely nothing. In that short 20 seconds it grants me, everything works perfectly fine, even the midi plugin.

[Edit] Here are the crash notes as well

Working fine for me as well, I've used foobar midi a lot since first released and never ran into an issue. Could other plugins you have be interfering with it or something?

@dj4uk6cjm
That's what I've been thinking but have no idea which one could be doing it. Here's a list of all the plugins I have and their invoked order.

The crash minidump (.dmp) would be a lot more useful.

by MoldyPond at 11:24 PM EDT on August 16, 2019

Ah, had no idea.
Here you go :)

Ah, looks like I can't trace that dump with my current files, but I can ask for some files from you to perhaps reproduce it. I'll need:

D:\Users\Eric\Music\Original Video Game Music Files\Nintendo\3DS\StreetPass\Battle\BANK_SE\SE_MESSAGE_NEXT.mid

And possibly everything in the same directory as that file.

by MoldyPond at 10:54 PM EDT on August 18, 2019

Here's the whole folder.
Thanks a bunch for checking into this for me :)

[Edit] So just deleting the whole StreetPass folder fixed everything. I can't imagine what's causing this or if you happen to know a way of keeping it without it destroying foobar. Doesn't really matter either way :D

Fixed division by zero, detected a new class of invalid file. :D

Zero division ticks count, that means file is unplayable, can't calculate tempos and ticks into timestamps.

by MoldyPond at 11:34 AM EDT on August 19, 2019

Afaik I've never even attempted to play that file, so is it necessary to keep that deleted or what?

by kode54 at 10:49 PM EDT on August 26, 2019

It wasn't necessary to play it. Merely having your entire library in the "Media Library" folders list is enough for everything to be opened and scanned on startup.

You can go ahead and delete that one file, though.

Alright then. Thanks again! :D
