Testing a few apng wheel images in pinballX (mainly only 2 frame apngs if that matters), scrolling the wheel... PinballX can crash out after a while, no pattern to it that i've seen. Happened a couple of times.

I do also have apng company logos but not seen the problem before with only those in use (but i have also only just updated to 4.80 from 4.79)

Error in log attached.

Let me know if you need more info..

Still the same badformat error with 4.80 x64 unfortunately  (one day i'll reload windows, honest, it's only been a year! :lol:)

Will see if reducing apng wheel frame sizes in the 32bit version helps for now..

You dont have an old disk where you can test windows on it and install pinballx 64 bit ?

Nope!...  Hoping to update a few things next year so will probably rebuild then.

xdmd.dll is probably installed  into the assembly cache so that's why

Couldn't see anything about xdmd in windows\assembly\ if that's where you mean(?)

but I never see anyone have this issue other than you.

That's because i'm special!

 

Good news is not seen any more crashes with smaller image frames in the apngs under 4.80 32bit. Might just be being lucky at the moment rather than anything else though.

Still running 32bit and still not seen any more crashes like the first post, i did get a different issue and apng error where pinballx hung and i had to kill it (only happened once).

Might still be 32bit related, don't know. Posting the log for reference just in case.

Just tried 4.81, still get the occasional PinballX hang (where i need to kill it) when using multiple apng wheel images.

I know a fix wasn't mentioned in the release note, but i was hoping!

 As you can see from the log, no games launched at any time, just scrolling round the wheel. No pattern to when it happens that i can see.

Thanks and sorry if I have been a little slow. I have been busy but had a few motivation issues too. Sure your all feeling it too.

Slow ? It is a free product, and I really appreciate all your efforr you do for this community.  Any issue you address and fix mate. 

We all have our moments with motivation issues, but that make us human !

Keep up the good work Tom !

Yeah, spot on Mike..  Tom does a great job!

Tom - can you send me a database xml for your tests?, then i can tailor the test apng wheels to it so you can just drag them across.

Here you go Tom hot off the press, test wheels for your VP database. File names use table names not description.

I've used your db and confirmed the cropping still occurs with these, and if you scroll left and right for a while 4.81 32bit will eventually give the error in the log and hang. I am also using animated company logos but haven't seen the hang problem using just those.

If you think it's the related to the file size, compression or number of frames then i can have a rethink (or maybe that idea to have an option in PinballX to only animate the wheel for the selected table would help, dunno..)

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks mate!

Hi Tom, not seen any more crashes in my tests with v4.84 - not sure if you fixed it when changing the png/apng file extensions or if i just haven't tested long enough yet, but i'm pretty sure it's working now.

I'll report back if i do see a crash in the next day or two, otherwise this can be closed off.

(still get the apng wheel image cropping mentioned in another thread in v4.84 though  - https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/25480-heads-up-apng-support-incoming/?do=findComment&comment=199984)

Just wanted to say so sorry for being slow on this and thanks for all your help. Ill get there!

No worries Tom,  we all know you're a busy guy!.  Still no crashes yet with 4.84 anyway so may well be fixed (intentionally or not!)

@scutters should I combine this thread with the one you referenced for the cropping or close this thread once you are satisfied that there's no further issue and let Tom address the cropping in the referenced thread?

I think they're two different issues (that just happen to be apng related), so i'd leave them split. Should be able to close this one off soon :)
