print messages make arc/iii freeze with ansible #33
Description
Just wanted to document what I found out with my current iii script on arc.
My script was running fine when connected to the mac but freezing (blank unresponsive state) after 1 hour when connected to ansible.
Turned out the debug memory print messages I had set up were causing arc to freeze when connected to ansible (might be true with other USB MIDI hosts as well), as commenting them out fixed the issue. Unlike on mac where the print calls were consumed by diii in the console, with ansible they were probably filling up a low-level buffer leading to arc freezing (frequency of the print messages was every 5 seconds, so 12/minute or 720/hour).
