Unresponsive UI

[andrewrynhard]

Hi,

I use nih-plug to build a clap plugin and then use clap-wrapper to create an AU. It mostly works with the exception of the UI being completely unresponsive unless the transport is running and audio is going through the plugin. This is only the case with Logic Pro. I have used Carla to load the AU and the UI works fine.

sounds like the nih plug ui is locked waiting for some audio thread callback to me. I have no idea exactly how we would debug this. We've run vstgui juce and visage plugs in the au host without problem so I think starting somewhere around how nih plug interacts with its gui might help. Like is there a audio process thing which kicks a repaint?

Good question. Just getting into nih-plug myself. I will see what I can find.
