Hi
I use Ardour 6.5 and it seems I can’t stop Ardour playback from the internal clock.
It happens after few try to play/record/stop.
The play button at the end finish to be jammed and I can’t press top to deactivate playback.
To dejam the play button pressed, I must save my session and restart Ardour.
Thank you for you help !
Thanks,
Michael

Is this on a package from this website, or from a distribution package manager or elsewhere? First step is always see if it happens on the packages from here, you can use the demo version to test with.
SeabladeOk, fine, I compiled Ardour from the source code using official and up to date Ubuntu 20.04 libs using also the git tag 6.5.
I will try the demo today and give you feedback.
I must admit, I can’t stay long enough in the demo version to reproduce the issue as the demo version pop up the annoying window with sound cut.
My issue could happens fast but it also could happen after a long session where I should close Ardour 6.5
I have experienced this issue using the official builds. The transport gets stuck in play mode.
I’m working in loop mode most of the time and i’ve noticed the playhead sometimes “escapes” from the loop. This might be related.
I don’t think i have a way to reproduce this reliably.
I could help to debug this issue from the code and to a clean recompilation.
Do you know someone who can give me some instruction to debug this from my build ?
If you are looking to do this in realtime the best way to do that is during daytime business hours (EST) on IRC (Links at the bottom of the page) but it just depends on when people have time really, right now one of the devs is entirely in work to redo how time is kept throughout Ardour, and the other is doing a variety of work, so if they aren’t available there may not be anyone. It can be a bit hit and miss that way.
The better option is to find a reproducible recipe, some way that causes it to reliable have an issue, preferably on a new session and obviously on the package from here. For instance looping was mentioned above, is this something you are doing as well? What time source are you using (Internal? Jack?).
If we can get a reproducible recipe to the devs that makes the debugging much easier.
SeabladeWhen you press “stop” and nothing happens, please have a look in Ardour’s Menu > Window > Log.
Are there messages like the following?
bad transition, current state = ... event = ...
PS. You also won’t get much feedback on this forum on issue reports, those belong to tracker.ardour.org
I don’t see any bad transition message in log window.
Here, I figure out how to reproduce it.

</ArdourMIDIBindings>I found a way to fix it. When I press play but after I use the midi function transport-start I can’t press stop (the stop button don’t work). I can’t even use this function in lua : Session:request_transport_speed (0.0, true, ARDOUR.TransportRequestSource.TRS_UI) to stop the transport. But, if I change the transport speed to something else than 0 and after I press stop in the UI, the transport is stopped !
Using LUA, to stop the transport when the “stop” button in the UI is jammed :
1- Change the speed (I can also use the shuttle speed control button)
Session:request_transport_speed (0.5, true, ARDOUR.TransportRequestSource.TRS_UI)
2- Now, stop the transport.
Session:request_transport_speed (0.0, true, ARDOUR.TransportRequestSource.TRS_UI
