[KNOWN BUG: FIXED FOR NEXT RELEASE] 311 Flicker on stage preview window in control, not happening in 308

Gaspar

Simplest patch to reproduce this.

"stage preview" in control showing 1 stage (The only one)
Scene 1: One player sending to two projectors that are mapped differently
MP4 video (relatively heavy ... I have tried 4 different videos, one of them coded differently) ... I stick to these MP4 since I had trouble with HAP and I do not need scrubbing nor reversing... and it works fine in 308 (also in 307 as far as I remember).

Problem:

When I activate "show stages" or "force stage preview", I get an occasional flicker (every 5 to 25 seconds) in the "stage preview" window in the control panel. Fortunately, it does not appear on the "real stage" nor on the "force stage preview" window.

Flicker stops when I disconnect one of the projectors. Strange enough it also stops when izzymap is open for either of the two projectors.

Load with just one projector 5%
Load with both projectors 6.4%

This is not too bothering, but it does not happen on 308 and since I work very often with this setup it prevents me from switching to 311, because that flickering is annoying and distracting.

Any idea or update in sight?

Tks.

This is a known bug though in our experience it did happen in 3.0.8f12... at least in some situations.

The team has a beta that fixes it. If you're a beta tester, you can ask for it. Otherwise the fix will be in available in a point release we want to make available as soon as we can possibly manage.

Best Wishes,
