midi plugin discussion

keszegh

so i thought its better to give this issue its own thread (copied from v2022.1 discussion):

@hgy29, in midi plugin is there a way to prevent my app crashing from
"MidiInWinMM: message queue limit reached!!" when too many messages arrive? (which happens easily when a pot is turned on a midi device)
ty

EDIT: is there a page where one can check the available lua functions for the midi plugin?

EDIT: exposing setQueueSizeLimit( unsigned int queueSize ) could help perhaps, but all in all i'd need some way to stop the app from crashing whatever the queue size.

anything on this @hgy29 , i've got my fancy midi keyboard and want to control my animation app with it but turning the pots make it crash all the time.

Sorry, I didn't have much time for Gideros since last thursday, I'll have a look this afternoon

Ok, I can make two changes:
- increase queue size to 1000 (instead of 100)
- supress messages if queue is full

that's probably perfect. in addition you could add setQueueSizeLimit to lua.
thanks a lot in advance (and i hope the fullscreen issue gets sorted out so that i can move to luau version when exporting)
