Waveform 9 in Linux will not render tracks or import

[Mark Swanson]

Is this an issue that others have as well? I have tried to drag an MP3 clip into a track from the browser and it moves over and begins to render and stops at about 45%, leaving a blank clip.
Then, I tried to render a MIDI drum track and Waveform crashed immediately.
I am running Ubuntu Studio 16.04

I had the same issue with some files, too. Other files were working, though. I don't know yet why certain files aren't rendered, but I experienced the same issue.

Haven't such issue on my Linux machine.
Could You share or pm such files?

Waveform needs lame to encode and decode mp3, is it installed? Does Settings>File Locations>General>Lame Location
point to lame?

[Mark Swanson]

Lame is installed, but I am not sure if it's pointed to yet. I can load the MP3 file into the browser and it will play from there just fine, but when I drag it to a track it begins to render, and then quits and I am left with a empty clip.
And the program crashed when I tried to render a MIDI drum clip. So I don't think it's a problem with lame.
Kott, what files would you like to see? I haven't looked at the Waveform Log yet either.

[Mark Swanson]

Things seem to be better now, rendering is working and I can import WAV files. Mp3 files are still blank but I never will need that feature anyway.
When I do get a crash, the log file says "!! killing thread by force !!"

[Kott]

I mean mp3 files which crashes Waveform.

[Mark Swanson]

MP3 files don't seem to crash the program, they just will not render when I try to import the and leave a blank clip. I can import WAV files just fine.

Can you send an example MP3 file that causes a crash to support@trackion.com please with some steps to reproduce the problem.
