Hi Gavin,
all you need to do is email support @ psquared.net (remove the spaces) with the Support ID in the subject line and that will add it to the ticket system.

Thanks David,
I appreciate the support. Do you use a self-service web portal where I can add the information or do I need to call the support team?

Hi Gavin,
on the 19/12/2014 I opened a support ticket for this PSQ14017547 (I'm sorry I wasn't more clear in the above post, for this one we are happy to proceed without you having a contract) can you add all the information to this support ticket please - including the debug files should you experience the application exit.

Hi David,
I haven't raised a support ticket as I don't have a support contract.

Hi Gavin,
Ok all useful information, did you update the support ticket with these findings?
If not could you do so, that way our engineers have it all in their timeline.

Well…I ran Myriad in Debug mode just before a live show and typically, it didn’t fall over once! I’m wondering if there might be a small memory leak that only shows up after Myriad has been running for a number of days and that restarting Myriad has cleared it. I have now left Myriad in debug mode so if it does fall over again hopefully it will show some useful information. (I’m keeping an eye on the size of the log files)

With reference to the second issue I was experiencing when moving around large files in the pop out SegEditor, the issue appears to be related to the “Peak” or “Preview” files. The audio that I had issues with were all syndicated shows that had been imported using the AutoImporter. The peak waveform displayed in SegEdit is from the very first time the cart was imported. When the cart get overwritten with a new show the waveform doesn’t get updated so when you move around SegEdit appears to get confused about it position in the file. The only way I have found to get around this issue so far is to open each audio file in SmoothEdit and then resave it so that the waveform gets updated. Is there any way I can quickly rescan a cart so that the waveform is updated without having to open it in SmoothEdit? Ideally it would be useful if the waveform was updated each time the audio was imported. I noticed there is a setting in the “Global Audio Wall” - others tab that suggest that you can “Use Waveform Preview files if already created”. This is ticked by default but if I un-tick it suggests that it will not automatically create preview files at all.

Any suggestions?

Hi Gavin,

Ok that's great thanks.

I don't think we have ever used the MPEG range of cards (because even the early versions of Myriad ran on PCM or compressed WAV), are there any settings in the standard driver control panel to tell it what audio format to use?
I'm just wondering if something silly is going on where we are feeding it linear data and its being forced into being converted into an MPEG stream and running out of buffers and erroring??

cheers

Hi David,

I should have been more specific with the Audio card info. I was looking at the driver name. The actual card is a AudioScience ASI6514.
I'll put Myriad into Debug mode just before the next live show and capture what I can.

Many thanks for you help.

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

thanks for that information, that's great - however I cannot find any record of the ASI6500 on the AudioScience website (even under the discontinued products) is there any other information you can supply about the soundcard - driver details, screenshots etc - thanks.

To put Myriad into debug mode there is a couple of ways to do it:

on the shortcut that you launch Myriad from (in the startup folder or using BootStuff), put "/debug" on the end of the target so it look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\P Squared\Myriad Playout v4.0\MyriadPlayout4.exe" /debug

(It only says (x86) because i'm on a 64bit OS - the important bit is the [space]/debug)

you should then see some files being created in a folder on your C:\DebugFiles it should now contain several files when you start Myriad.

You need to make sure you are logged on as an administrator to create that folder.

If you experience the same thing happening again, immediately that you have restarted Myriad, goto the Help menu, then Create P2 Support File, can you put PSQ14017547 into the ticket number box and as accurate a description of what you were doing at the time. Depending on the size of the debug files (and if you can send us the audio), and the speed of your internet connection Myriad may become unresponsive during this upload process, if you can please be patient and let it finish, it may be too busy in the background to update the front graphics.

PLEASE BE AWARE: Myriad in general will run a bit slower as it is writing a lot of information to these debug files, also these files can get very large, so if you have not had any problems for a few days with them switched on it is worth clearing them out.
