Timecode window display problems

Post by friso »

Bernd

Next problem has started with version .46
Randomly the remaining time in the timecode windows is not displaying anymore.
Sometimes during one hour all is diplaying correct, and then starting the new playlist for the next hour, and during that hour i can't use the timecode window anymore.
The windows is black, and only the mic indicators are lighted. Can you check this, or know what's going on here?

thanx

I have tried to reproduce the issue here, but with no luck.
In all my tests the timecode window just works fine as expected.
I also did not change anything in the timecode window with the latest versions, so it is quite strange, that your issue starts with v.46.

How is your timecode window arranged? Is it docked to any other window, is it a floating dock panel window?
Are you using multiple monitors and is your timecode window maybe moved to a secondary screen?
Are there any exceptions being logged in the 'Error.log' file (contained in your ProppFrexx AppUserData folder)?
Have you maybe updated any other window component (eg. your graphics card driver recently together with PF when the issue started to happen)?

I am using 3 monitors, and it has always worked ok so far.
I did update my nvidia driver, but not sure if the problem occured after this update.

I wil try and do the following.
- Close all my windows and close proppfrexx
- Build up the screens again and test
- Rollback the videodriver see if that works

I will let you know if one of the things solves the problem

Did some tests yesterday on air. One time it disapeared. I figgured out that when i change the color of the numbers in that display, the time is visible again. At one time it disapeared again, i can get it back by changing the colors. Then it's back again.

Hopefully this gives you info where to look for the solution.

Actually not, as here in all my tests on even 3 different machines it never disappears.
The question though is why and when it starts to disappear on your machine...?

That is actually the problem. There is no specific point when it occurs.
I will continue testing this issue. For the time being, when it happens i change the color. :)
