My own EUCON control surface plugin doesn't work anymore starting with version 23

[Ovidiu Bob]

Four years ago I developed my plugin for a eucon controller (MC color, MC transport) in c++, starting with version 23, the plugin no longer works citing the error (Exception thrown: read access violation. **this** was nullptr .

Exception thrown at 0x00007FFBAE964FD9 in Adobe Premiere Pro (Beta).exe: Microsoft C++ exception: std::bad_weak_ptr at memory location 0x0000000000145BF0.
Exception thrown: read access violation.
**this** was nullptr.

)
I tried to solve the problem but without much success, maybe you can help me find a solution.

Thank you!

Can you provide a built plug-in, that works correctly in [some previous version] but fails in 23.0?

In what version of PPro, did this plug-in function correctly? Mac or Windows?

[Ovidiu Bob]

I developed the plugin only for windows. Now I am working in the released version 22.4 (Windows)

Hi,

Dan here, I work for Bruce. I put the .acsrf file in the ControlSurface dir, it loads in 14.9.9 [b10], 22.5 [b65] and 23.0.0 Beta [b43] (that's the most current, publicly available Beta)
By “loads,” I mean that I can go to preferences and select it, and “EUCON ARTIST” shows up as an item in the Device Class list.

Can you give me step by step intructions to reproduce the issue you're seeing?

Also, I don't have any Eucon hardware connected - if that's required to reproduce what you're seeing, I can collect something from our lab.
Thanks for developing fro Premiere Pro.

The problem is solved, I reset all the preferences and the plugin works fine now. I actually reset PPro because Dan told me that the plugin works for you, strange thing. Thanks!
