Any Plugin Experts Out There?

[Jaxel]

The issue appears to be in the following code:

    public override void Tick(float fSeconds)
    {
        Application.Current.Dispatcher.Invoke(new TickFunctionDelegate(renderBitmap));
    }

If I comment out that code, and instead run renderBitmap() from within the UpdateSettings(), I no longer get any crashes... of course, then my plugin is no longer animated; which defeats the entire purpose of the plugin... but at least it no longer crashes.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Okay, I appear to have fixed the crashing issue by replacing "Invoke" with "BeginInvoke".

Still have 2 remaining issues.

• When I add the plugin to a source, it adds it 100x100, instead of the WidthxHeight I define in my plugin config. Must hit Ctrl+R to fix.
• When I open up OBS with the plugin already set up in a scene, the plugin won't "start" until after I open the config window at least once.

* EDIT *

New issue... when I edit the plugin config... it doesn't actually apply the config changes until I "hide>show" the plugin.

New question... The plugin takes a TON of memory. Most likely due to the fact that every frame, its building a bitmap image and setting it as a texture. Is there any way to fix this?

You answered your own question.

Reuse the bitmap

You answered your own question.

Reuse the bitmap

What about any of the other issues?

 

[Faruton]

Don't really have time to look, all I can say is to refer to CLRBrowserSourcePlugin as it exercises the CLRHost plugin the most.

 

[Jaxel]

How would I "reuse" the bitmap?

 

[Faruton]

Don't create it more than once

Okay, new question...

When I edit the config of my plugin, it doesn't reload the plugin when I click "OK". I have to "hide/show" the plugin using the checkbox next to it in the source list in order for it to reload and use the new config settings. How do I force the plugin to reload itself when the configuration is changed?

 

[Faruton]

Looking at your UpdateSettings, you don't change anything if it is already initialized. Saving configuration doesn't automatically reload the plugin

So... how do I reload the plugin?

I am using code in C# and also in VB. And it's really good information that you had share here. Thanks. Keep it Up.
