1.VM1 and VE Pro 7 - unstable and buggy 12/10/2019 10:07:34 AM

Thanks, I'll look forward to that.

I've only had VM1 a couple of days but I can see some patterns of repeatable behaviour. I've enabled logging from the app.

I'm in the UK and a hobbyist (VIs are not my day job) so email response may not be instantaneous!

Best,

2.VM1 and VE Pro 7 - unstable and buggy 12/8/2019 4:02:21 PM

Yesterday, after watching a couple of videos on YT I took the plunge and paid $29 for the "VM1 helper" app to enable the VM1 iPad app to talk to my PC and communicate with VE PRo 7.  

Specs: Latest VEPro 7 available, iOS 12.4 on the iPad Air, Win 7 x64 with 24Gb RAM on the PC (i7 @ 3Ghz)

Have to say the app looks great but it's operation is buggy and unstable and doesn't seem to have progressed from the screencasts on YT back in the summer (where it crashed all the time for the presenter too!)

I get "Server not found" multiple times, normally after trying to do something simple like add a channel in VM1 or in VE Pro 7. It's so flaky it's almost unusable. BTW, I have had TouchOSC (and it's PC 'helper' app) working flawlessly for the past three years, it never crashes. 

I've enabled the debugging in the app so hopefully it's sending lots of helpful data to the devs at Montreal Labs. VM Helper normally just stops responding, so I have to force quit and restart it. Multiple things can cause this from switching screens in VM1 to adding a plugin inside VEPro 7 which then doesn't sync with VM1. The non-sync is normally the clue that VM Helper has died yet again. Sometimes refreshing the VM1 app brings it back but 9/10 times it needs a force quit/restart of VM Helper. 

I have an old but very stable system. I wanted to use VM1 to mainly be able to enable and disable Instances on the fly as I worked but apart from it failing to recognise the servers or VM Helper crashing there's a huge problem. It just doesn't sync with the instance status properly at startup. i.e. 

I have a server project with three instances all disabled. I save the server project and close VE Pro 7. I start VE Pro 7, I then start VM1. 9/10 times VM1 can't find a Server so I have to force quit the VM Helper that started up at boot and restart it. Then with luck, VM1 finds my PC but the server instances all show on VM1 as "live" whereas in VE Pro 7 they are all showing correctly as disabled. This then negates the advantage and purpose of the app in controlling the status of multiple behind-the-scenes instances remotely!

By the time I've opened VE Pro 7 to see where we're really at I may as well just enable the Instance from there. 

Hardly anyone is mentioning the VM1 app here (or on VI Control) so I guess there's not a lot of take up. Perhaps it's different in the Mac world but on PC it's incredibly flaky. The idea of stacking/auditioning is great and I'd love for it to be stable enough to do this reliably each time but that's just not happening.

Best,

Yes, the Instance disabling is a huge bonus, I'll wait for the icing of folder disabling later on... :) 

Thanks!

+1 for this as soon as possible please. I upgraded yesterday from VEPro 6 and Folder Automation was high on my list of needs.  I spent a couple of hours trying everything last night following the instruction manual and then gave up. The folders have no "disable" automation available. 

Could I respectfully ask that if this feature is going to be a while coming you change page 46 of the VEPro 7 manual to state this feature is not yet working? It would save a lot fo people who are picking this upgrade up on BF sales a lot of time (and you a lot of support Qs I'm sure!). 

Other than that, appreciate all the new developments! 

Thank you.
