VST plugin scan fails

[BartVaes]

Hi, bit of a long shot but I’ll post this bugreport here 'cause it really got me stumped and not sure where to look anymore…

So, in the past I’ve succesfully used some Windows VST3 plugins (with yabridge) in Ardour - like TDR Kotelnikov, Ivgi2 etc…
Today I installed Ardour 7.2 and tried to re-scan my plugins, but now these VST scans fail. This is the message I see in plugin manager (e.g. Kotelnikov):

Scan Failed.

I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I tried updating Bash (v5.2.15) and libreadline8 (v8.2.2.1) to latest version, yabridge=v5.0.3. Wine-staging is v7.21 … not sure I missed anything else ?
Or is this a yabridge error, since it generates some files and they somehow got corrupt ? It seemed to work ok before, so any insight is very welcome

Bart.

I could be wrong but I think Wine-staging 7.21 broke yabridge…? Can you downgrade to 7.20 and try it? Or upgrade to 8.0rc which reportedly works now

[BartVaes]

EDIT : in addition to my findings below; I temporarily replaced libreadline.so.8 with libreadline.so.6.3 and now the errors are gone and scan is OK .

Thanks for the reply

You were on to something at first; I was in fact using the wrong wine-staging package. I had 7.21 from OpenSUSE vendor and now switched to 7.20 from “multimedia” vendor (maintained by geekosdaw) - which yabridge is build against. I’ve re-build the .so files through yabridge now BUT … still the same error

I also tried LinVst converter, but scanning those .so files in Ardour (or Mixbus for that matter) gives the same error messages.

So maybe something changed in the readline.so.8 shipped with Ardour ? Maybe @paul or @x42 can shed some light here ?

TIA
Bart

Ardour comes with a couple of libraries, and most are different than ones on your system.

There can be conflicts when mixing things (LinVST/wine from your OS) and Ardour. – Here specifically the system-wide shell (/bin/sh) and ardour’s libreadline (/opt/Ardour-7.2.0/lib/libreadline.so.8

The short term solution, pick one:

• [re]move ardour’s readline. hopefully the system-wide readline.so is backwards compatible. sudo mv /opt/Ardour-7.2.0/lib/libreadline.* /tmp (if Ardour fails to start after that, move the files back)

• use yabridge instead of LinVST, the former does not use a shell script to wrap plugins.

• try a recent/upcoming ardour nightly (7.2.83 or later, Jan 6th) which comes with updated libreadline
