Carla doesn't find VST3 user plugin, but loading directly works

Open prez opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Add plugin doesn't find "Kombinat Tri", and says 0 VST3 plugins at the bottom, but drag-and-dropping the ~/.vst3/Kombinat Tri.so file into Carla works - the plugin is functional.

This is how the .vst3 directory looks like:

.vst3/
├── Kombinat Tri.so
└── Kombinat Tri.vst3
    └── Contents
        └── x86_64-linux
            └── Kombinat Tri.so

My ~/.vst3 folder is in the VST3 plugin path, and the checkbox for the VST3 type within search is selected.

I have no experience with VST3 plugins and how their directory structure should look like, or why there are two differing .so files - the Linux version of Kombinat Tri shipped this way. I'm probably doing something wrong, so apologies in advance.

Try running the discovery tool and see if there are any errors with the plugin.

/usr/lib/carla/carla-discovery-native vst3 "~/.vst3/Kombinat Tri.vst3"

Same problem here, with another AD plugin... and the output of discovery looks ok, no errors.... any idea folks? Thanks M.
