Title: MC27 + Dirac: crash during music playback
Post by: Ódoligie on January 17, 2021, 02:32:16 am

I recently upgraded to MC27. If I enable Dirac VST2 plugin playback always crashes after a few minutes (see the attached Mac OS crash log). A similar issue was posted on the forum  https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126649.msg878039.html#msg878039 (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,126649.msg878039.html#msg878039) but there was no response from the JRiver developers.

Is this a problem with Media Center or Dirac? Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

It's the Dirac plugin that is crashing and taking MC with it, so it looks like an issue on their side.
Check this thread which mention a workaround provided by Dirac, using a tool called Audio Hijack:

Also, check if the problem is related to ports needed by Dirac being in use (5000/8080):

You can also register/login to Dirac website to see if you can take a look at helpdesk ticket DLS-2052 mentioned in the other threads, or open a new ticket for your particular crash.
