[AG-TECH] RE: AGVCR

[Phillips, Joseph]

Thanks for the quick help Derek- it worked! It seems to be working fine now. The program has still crashed twice during playback since I made the switch to GTK 2.8.9, but it doesn't seem to be a regular thing like before.
Thanks again- looking forward to more of your additions in the future!

        Hi Phillip,

        I was able to recreate the problem on a windows machine (AGVCR appeared
to lock up after 16 minutes), and it was running GTK 2.6.10 as a
runtime. I then removed GTK 2.6 and installed GTK 2.8.9 (the latest
available Windows installer) and re-tried the test in the same venue
(Venue Client didn't even get shut down between tests) and AGVCR has
been running fine for over 45 minutes and still going as I write this
email, so I would suggest trying GTK 2.8.9 to see if it helps you too.
        I think I will need to update the Windows GTK runtime to 2.8 and
possibly put a note on the website. Given the apparent GTK bug with
AGVCR running on GTK 2.6 I may even move to compiling the Windows build
against 2.8 to make it 'compulsory' to use 2.8.
