I have been using Aurora for a few days now, without any problems. Then today when I tried to open any of my Seq., Aurora starts to load the Seq, then hangs on this part "decompiling data for editing" not sure what is wrong. I have rebooted the computer a few times, tried a repair on Aurora, and even unloaded, then reloaded it. BUT, no luck. |

I get this once every oh... 6 times that I load a sequence.
Reboot fixes it for me.
I'll bet that Aurora's stuck at 00% CPU as well. This usesually happens to me after something inside of Aurora locks up and it does not quit gracefully.
[edit]
HA! That happened right now! I was loading a seuence and was checking the forums while it loaded.

It has happened several times in a row for me now, and rebooting isn't fixing it. Not sure what else to do to fix it.

I have the same thing happening to me. Vista Ultimate Laptop. I was able to bring up the properties for the sequence, click save and it finished l opening the sequence, but nothing displayed and had a busy cursor in the window. Got the following error when I closed the program: Aurora Error Encountered at 9/27/2008 2:03:33 PM Debugging Information: -2147217887: Multiple-step operation generated errors.

I've had Aurora "hang" while decompiling as well. At first I was alarmed, but now I just give Aurora about ten seconds "to think about it". Then I click on a blank area in the uppermost title bar of the window, and Aurora snaps back to life. If I don't do this, Aurora just sits there. This occurs most often with an imported sequence, but also sometimes after I have cleared the Cache folder (Which I do periodically to get rid of excess experimental data. Aurora just rebuilds anything that's missing when I open a sequence.)

Yes. I found this quite by mistake while clicking around the window in frustration. When I eventually made my way to somewhere in the middle of the bar, Aurora sprang back to life. This is how I often get software to work...by beating it into submission.

Alright so XP did it again tonight...
Stuck on Decompiling for 10 min.
I clicked everywhere.
I was able to use the File menu. I opened file, then properties. I could not cancel, bt I could save.
Decompiling went away, but the CPU stayed at 100%, and I couldn't play, or edit, or do anything in the grid or play.
This time, Aurora couldn't even compleate the backup to close. Prorably because I messed with the properties/save stuff. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Created by me from my own ripped mp3. I added no timing marks, no effects.
Transfered to XP, worked for an hour 3 nights ago, added some timing marks, some efects, drew the mega arch.
Exited normally from Aurora, did misc. email, forum stuff the next day (played the Wii instead of sequencing)
Last night, started Aurora, loaded the file, got stuck. CPU at 100%, couldn't find any sort of errors in the default logs. I did not have the debug flag on.
EDIT: Forgot to say that I only have Aurora, and no other software has touched the sequence. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Does anyone have a way to make this happen in a reproducable fashion (it always happens if I do _____)?
While I have seen this happen here it has been far more elusive than some of you are experiencing (it has happened only twice since 1.0.0). Anything that can point to a way to reproduce this will make it much easier for us to find.
Also, please provide a list of other applications running at the time this happens. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I've been trying to keep notes on what's going on, but havn't found something that leads to it exactly. ... scratch what I was about to say...The one thing that I haven't looked at heavily is the new XP search assistant. I have noticed that it was indexing on two of the occations that I got stuck. Beyond that test that I havn't done, here's what I have.
1. Day one.
A. Work in Aurora on a single sequence perfectly fine with no errors. Durring that time, IE with multiple tabs, Symantic A/V, SonicWall's VPN client, task manager(?), nothing much running. Everything is fine.
B. Exit Aurora for the night.
C. Close the lid of the tablet. (Goes into hybernate)
2. Day two (possibly skipped a day of only internet browsing)
A. IE and the same stuff is running.
B. Open Aurora, select the same sequence that I was last on. Get stuck.
It's a simple step, but I can't figure out what happens. The best that I can start to guess is that (since Vista thinks Aurora crashes) possibly something isn't released fully back to the OS every time and Aurora cannot re-request it. Possibly?
I'll see if I can test the indexing thing tonight. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

NNNNOOOOO!!!!! Can you guess what just happened to me? I guess I'll program another song instead of opening up my firefly test sequence. By the way, restarting Aurora had no effect. It still decompiled to its hearts content. Like Pony_God, I can't give a trigger point for this one. Worked yesterday, not today. ------------- ~Jonathan |

I don't know what Aurora is actually doing when it is decompiling. That may be more than the programmers are willing to tell us. Let's assume it is "unzipping" or "decompressing" the file. If that's the case, then we need to know which version of Zip or PKZip or WinZip or WinRAR or whatever that Aurora expects to use or if it relies soley on Window's licensed version. I'll start by saying that I have never had it stick on "decompiling." Not on XP SP3 or in Vista. I don't have WinRAR installed any more on either computer, so I'll count that out. If you have it, you might try uninstalling it. On my Vista computer, I don't have any Zip program other than what Microsoft built into Explorer. On my XP computer, I thought I had WinZip installed but I checked and it appears I took off both WinZip and WinRAR at the same time. At this point - I'd say uninstall any non-Microsoft Zip utility you might have. It could be interfering. That's my best guess in the absence of more info. ------------- JonB - D-Light user |

BZZZT! Sorry, but you must answer in the form of a question!
Aurora quit using WinRar back around version 0.1 - now has its own internal tool.

Well, I've got McAfee for my virus scanner. No firewall on my system (at least I think so). I've had none to all of the following programs running at the same time Aurora is going: Firefox, Outlook Express, Picasa 3, and the HW Utility (not connected, just there). Usually it's just Aurora and Firefox going. With my decompiling forever issue, it turned out that I couldn't program anything at all until I rebooted. As in I couldn't open a sequence, start a new one, import, play, save, program a command, etc. Aurora pretended to let me do all that, but it never succeeded. And tonight while doing my firefly V2 test, I had a really interesting bug show up. I programmed a brand new firefly test sequence, and when I sent commands out, it played the commands from my firefly V1 sequence (with the music from the new sequence). I hadn't opened or used my firefly V1 sequence since last nights testing. However, the last thing the firefly controllers did was that sequence. After closing Aurora and reopening the program, it did play my new sequence. Weird.  ------------- ~Jonathan |

I have the entire McAfee suite on my XP machine, but I've made certain that it's been configured to notify me when it blocks programs (buffer overflow, firewall access, etc.) So far there hasn't been a conflict with Aurora. Not so with Spectrum, however, as I often had to disable McAfee in order to get any sequencing done. Not sure about how the newer Norton/Symantec products do their thing. Might be worth disabling, if you can, to see if this makes a difference. Or at least delving into the settings to make sure that Aurora is being allowed to operate unencombered. BTW--I have 7-Zip installed, as it is the least intrusive compression shareware I've found. Does zip, rar, etc. Winrar was just too clunky. ------------- Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Alright, so now it seems as though comming out of stand by no longer causes problems.
(I've removed all other compression utilites)
So, tonight I came home and stared the tablet up. (After doing nothing other than sequencing last night, then going to stand by) Aurora started right up.
I viewed new posts on the Aurora forums. Aurora still worked after that.
I then caught up and viewed updates over on D-Light, and downloaded the new Firmware. Aurora was still fine.
Then... I went to to Microsoft Exchange's OWA, and logged in via the Windows secuirity that pops up. Aurora could no longer decompile...
I did nothing else. Same sequence. No updates. No scanning. Was not doing to Firefly update. Nothing.
It's deffinately tied to IE is some way. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

Thanks... if y'all come up with any more info please post it here.
I'm completely guessing here, but it appears memory is being "stolen" from Aurora for some reason. This is difficult to track down since in a full month of testing we've only seen this happen twice in the lab (being non-replicatable this isn't easy to track down). Both were on an XP laptop and one of those times was just after resuming from standby. It seems some of y'all have this happen all of the time while 90% of users never see this at all. While I have no confirmation, experience tells me there is a 98% liklihood this is memory related.
Unfortunately, if I devote too much more time to this single issue we'll never get the rest of the bug fix release out so I'm going to table this one until after the next version (one week has already become 6). In the meantime I recommend not using standby or hibernate. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Well, I do have an XP laptop, and while I don't use standby, I do hibernate after every use. My system now has two gigs on on it. With my decompiling issue, a system restart fixed it. The one thing that has me worried is when Aurora sent out commands for a different sequence than the one I was working on. It hasn't done it since, but I'm not sure why commands from the previous sequence were being sent in place of the current one. (This was for my fireflies). With that issue, restarting Aurora fixed it. ------------- ~Jonathan |

Jonathan, that happened to me once. I opened one very complicated sequence, did some editing, saved, then opened another very different and not nearly as complicated sequence. It kept playing the first one. It obviously had not cleared the arrays in memory. Closed Aurora, reopened Aurora. No problem. As long as Scheduler isn't prone to that problem (not clearing memory arrays) I'll consider it a nuisance, not a show stopping bug. Since Aurora doesn't really have a "close" option, it may be they never intended you to just open a new sequence without closing the application first. Perhaps that could be a Feature Request (if not already). ------------- JonB - D-Light user |

As others have indicated, yes, Aurora shows one sequence (it even plays the right music), but sends commands for another. My question is this: Should I download 1.0.2 or just wait for the big bug release version? I never encountered 339 errors, and it seems the release notes indicate that nothing in that build would help me or my particular system. I can easily install it if it might fix something (like Scheduler), but if the big fixed bugs release is coming soon, maybe I should just wait? ------------- ~Jonathan |

Except for a few minor details the release notes are complete (1.0.2 was an interim release for a handful of users who can't get Aurora to run at all). If you aren't in that group and don't need the autostart option then you don't need 1.0.2. Just wait. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

So I've tried NOT using IE for a few days of sequencing on my tablet and Aurora's been working perfectly.
This is still going into Stady By nightly by closing the lid and opening it the next night.
Aurora's been decompiling all sequences perfetly.
Tonight, I DID open up IE, went to web mail and a few other places and now Aurora can no longer decompile.
I do not have Firefox, or anything else installed here so I can't tell if those could cause the same thing.
My IE is 7.0.5730.11
I have all required and optional XP Tablet updates installed. ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

I have made numerous posts on this bug. I HAVE to close Aurora any time i want to change sequences as the memory is not properly flushed when changing sequences. The software also has another memory bug in it when I move any channel to another channel's spot; some of the events from the old channel are still in the new channel but I can't erase them and they do not show up on the sequence display. They show up all over in the visualizer and to a lesser degree in the actual show. Strangely enough, the more the show plays on the scheduler the less the errors show up. After a few hours the show run 100% correct. As for the original bug on this thread, I have the same issue from time to time but interestingly enough the machine is not hooked to the internet or a network in any fashion so IE cant be the sole reason for this. Sounds like IE might trigger the issue by calling on the same resources but in and of itself it sounds more like there is a bad memory call in the code or the compiler might not be updated to make the proper calls as DLLs and what not change over time. What is this written in and compiled with? |

I just had this "decompiling data for editing" hang error. I was attempting to open a sequence I used last year to begin adapting it to my new set up. It first asked me to locate the audio file, then hung. I was able to get past it by:
-attempting to open the file, select audio file.... hang
-after a while, aurora will let you select the file menu
-select properties and assign visualizer picture. It will then go thru the backbuffering, spectrogram stuff.
-It will appear to finish all of the opening process, but will only show a blank screen where the spectrogram and events should be.
-then save, it will try but then lock up again. So end task.
-open aurora and select use backup workspace
-bingo!
I only did this once, so I have not been able to double check the steps to reproduce. I actually did the first 4 steps 2 or 3 times before trying the last 2.
I hope this helps track the problem down.

Carey, I'm curious as to what version are you using right now. I know this was an issue in some versions of Aurora because it has happened with me as well, but since build 1.0.25 I haven't come across it even once.
------------- ~Jonathan |
Posted By: Comporder1
Date Posted: 20 Nov 2008 at 6:56pm
| the latest - 1.0.29. I think it has more to do with the file than the version. Wierd thing is, the last program to open that sequence was Aurora v.02 last year. You would think the new version would open it. It has worked fine for a few other sequences so far. |

Well, a lot has changed since 0.02. Heck, a lot has changed since 1.0 when I first got on the Aurora scene! Aurora now processes its information differently than before, and that requires the file to be saved (and sometimes reopened) before things work just right. The issue is that the bug occurs before you get the chance to save, and that's frustrating, I know. I'll try to duplicate the bug using my old backup 1.0 sequences, but as I recall it was a hit and miss type of thing. ------------- ~Jonathan |

I can duplicate the problem everytime. However, I believe it is related to something on the computer (in my case my laptop which has visual studio installed on it).
1) You need two computers. I'm using a laptop and a desktop. I keep the same file structure on both computers.
2) Create a sequence on the desktop and save it.
3) Copy the sequence file to the laptop.
4) On the laptop open up the sequence file and it hangs in decompiling mode forever.
HOWEVER, I do know how to get around this issue so it does not lock up on me any longer. Before opening the sequence file, change the name of your music file directory. Aurora will then get to the decompiling but can't find the music file. It then prompts me for the music file. I rename the direcotry back and then select the file within aurora. It loads the music file just fine and everything else without locking up. I then save it and can reopen the sequence without any more problems.
Don't know if that helps you, but that is how I'm able to duplicate the problem and also able to get around the problem so it doesn't bother me any more.
BTW, I use my laptop to test the files with the lights outside and use my desktop to edit the files since it is much faster.
If you need a beta tester, let me know :)

Aurora is supposed to be able to open files from 0.2, but it has not been tested or verified. 0.2 was "early beta" and as such contained a lot of file corruption bugs. The newer version may not be liking something in the file that once simply wasn't enforced. Additionally the "draw objects" table was altered around 0.7 to better suit the circle based prototypes. Once again, Aurora is supposed to be able to load the old table and convert it internally, but a file/save will be required before the file is actually usable by the scheduler. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

So I'm still getting this in 1.0.32...
I tried to use the backup wrkspace on restart of Aurora, not the OS and I get stuck on "Opening Table: Events" ------------- Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights. http://www.frappr.com/dlight - D-Light users Unite!

A lot of the weird errors I seemed to get only occurred whenever I updated Aurora, opened the newer version, then selected backup workspace. Those issues seemed to go away once I started opening sequences normally. Try opening the file, saving it, restarting Aurora, then selecting the backup workspace. Does it still freeze? ------------- ~Jonathan |

Cam, do you have the music file in "some other directory" instead of the Aurora Audio folder? Perhaps the combined character length of file path and name are too long?

Yes, I do use a different directory for audio. C:\MP3\aaaaaa\bbbbb
Where aaaaaa is the name of the artist and bbb is the name of the song. BTW, the files are actually .WAV files. Originally I started using MP3's, but then I saw that everyone suggested using .WAV files so I converted all of my MP3's to WAV files.
