No waveform if driver is blacklisted

[Rod Smart]

Version 2.2.0
When a track is loaded the green cue line displays in the center of the waveform area at the top of the display. To the left of this cue line are yellow triangles all the way to the left side of the display. To the right are a set of vertical white lines all the way across to the right side of the display. When the track starts playing the triangles and vertical lines scroll from right to left until only vertical lines remain. From then on only vertical lines scroll across the display. There is no waveform. I have tried all the possible API in preferences with the same result.
Waveforms are visible in each deck, but not at the top of the display.
Running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit, Intel Core I7 3.40Ghz, 16Gb RAM ASUS Deluxe MB, Onboard Realtek High Def Audio with driver version 6.0.1.6251.
Graphics is onboard generic PnP monitor 1920 x 1080 Res.

Also running Mixxx 2.2.0 on my Windows 10 notebook with same library and Mixxx file from app data. Waveform is working properly.

I think not, bacause here only the waveform data is missing, but the overlays are visible.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Please try to alter the waveform types in preferences.
Are all types effected? Are all skins effected?

These entries are interesting
Debug [Main]: "Error: Unable to import console: no such extension"
Debug [Main]: "Error: Unable to import svg: no such extension"

Please attache another mixxx.log that includes playing a track with the described issue visible.

[Rod Smart (rockinrod)]

Selecting different waveforms gave the following results.
Empty: Nothing Displayed
Filtered (GLSL): Nothing Displayed
RGB(GLSL): Nothing Displayed

HSV: Scrolling Waveform
RGB: Scrolling Waveform
Filtered - Software: Scrolling Waveform
Simple - QT: Scrolling Waveform
Filtered - QT: Scrolling Waveform

Simple - GL: Scrolling Vertical Lines Only
Filtered - GL: Scrolling Vertical Lines Only
RGB(GL): Scrolling Vertical Lines Only

The results seemed to be the same on each skin.

Which graphic card and driver do you use?
Is Mixxx 2.1.8 also effected?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

Is the 2.2.1 release candidate effected?
http://downloads.mixxx.org/builds/2.2/release/mixxx-2.2.1-2.2-git6690-release-x64.exe

[Rod Smart (rockinrod)]

I don’t have stand alone soundcard. The soundcard is “Realtek high definition” on board an Asus high performance MB. The Realtek driver is version 6.0.1.6251.
I will test v2.2.1 later on today.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

And which graphic card and driver do you use?
Which GL version is reported in the waveforms preferences? With Mixxx 2.2.x and Mixxx 2.1.8

I can reproduce the same issue in my win 10 running in a virtual box.
The GL version is blank in my case.
Mixxx 2.1.8 is reporting GL 1.1

[Rod Smart (rockinrod)]

On board graphics also. "Intel HD Graphics 3000". Driver version 9.17.10.4229.
I have the same issue with Mixxx 2.2.1.
I cannot find GL version in my waveform preferences. I can see "Open GL Status" which is blank in 2.2.0 and 2.2.1.
Loaded 2.1.8, no problem with waveforms. "Open GL Status" 3.1.
I am glad you can reproduce the error.

For some reasons QT decides in Qt5 to use the GL ES render instead of pain GL.
It uses a translator to convert GL ES into direct 3 d.
Only the QT Waveforms are Hardware accelerated in this state.

Please try the following.

open "cmd" from your search bar

enter:

cd "C:/Program Files/Mixxx"
set QT_OPENGL=desktop
mixxx.exe

check if the GL waveforms are working now.

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

@rockinrod: Your driver is blacklisted here because of a possible crash:
https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/src/plugins/platforms/windows/openglblacklists/default.json

[Rod Smart (rockinrod)]

Yes that made the waveforms work correctly in 2.2.1. Only until I rebooted of course.

Is it simply a matter of upgrading my driver to fix the problem.

I am afraid any version of your driver is blacklisted.
If you not suffering the crash, you can set QT_OPENGL=desktop system wide.
https://superuser.com/questions/949560/how-do-i-set-system-environment-variables-in-windows-10

[Rod Smart (rockinrod)]

Yes, that works. No crashes.
That explains why it works on some machines and not on others.
Thanks for your help.
