Topic: Crash log
VirtualDJ crashed last night at the nightclub. Luckily it was early in the evening and there weren’t many people there. I was playing a music video and testing the new Lyrics feature. I turned the lyrics on and off a few times, and then suddenly VirtualDJ restarted. After a few seconds, the program came back up and continued playing the music from where it was.

On the next track, the waveform started glitching from time to time and stopped completely for a few seconds on a couple of occasions. After that, I turned off everything related to Lyrics. Then everything worked perfectly for the rest of the night without any issues.

Did VirtualDJ send a crash log, or was it my Mac that froze and restarted the application?

Possibly it was struggling with stems 2 extraction (needed for lyrics)?
 
Is stems extraction required even for "popular" songs with existing lyrics?
 
I have stems fully disabled so it was a popular song that must have got the lyrics automatic (Madonna - Like a prayer (KaktuZ Remix)
Mp3 and Slideshow audio only overlay
Sampler dj logo overlay
Edit default pro skin ( by locodog)
Video out to Ledwall
No problem since 2022 when i have video out problem and changes to a new Macbook
 
Can any developer see whether a crash log has been sent?
 
Yes, but it doesn't contain much useful, other than the crash might be related to drawing the skin.
 
Thank you for taking the time to review the log. The conclusion sounds plausible. I recall that Alexrdzaik, the developer of the Vanced skin, wrote in his skin thread something along the lines of:
“The problem has to do with waveforms only (so far it affects Mac users). It is believed that placing too many elements on an element that is constantly updating, such as the waveforms, is what saturates the program.”
So all the lyrics in the waveform could be the cause for my computer to crash the program maybe.
My mac is fast but not new and Its christmas so its mayby time for me to give myself a nice new mac :-)
