Hi!
I’ve been using MODEP on a PatchboxOS setup with a pisound that has been working, up until today, fine.
Today I have tried to add some pedals to a saved voard I have, and all I get now is a dashed white outline of the pedal and a spinning circle, but it never loads.
I am using a 4gb Pi4 booting from USB, with the CPU or ram never going above 20-30% max.
Sometimes I’m getting 6 Xruns on startup, last time I received 60+.
The board seems to continue to be playable and responds to my USB midi device, but doesn’t adding pedals or loading a different board.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Cheers!
Craig
Check out the logs of the major services:
Did you run some apt operations recently?
I didn’t buddy. I’ve done absolutely nothing with the patchbox install outside of the patchbox cmd.
I did switch from a USB interface yesterday, but has ran a number of times successfully since without the issues once I’d changed my jack config.
Will check logs this afternoon, thank you!
Wow, Jack doesn’t seem to be right at all:

Not sure what the issue was, so flashed Patchbox OS again and rebuilt my pedal board.
All good for now!

Hmm, yes, the service logs don’t seem to indicate some very obvious reason for pedal adding not working. 
Good to hear it’s working again now.

Having the exact same problem…I have just loaded it and it was working…20 mins later it stopped
Did you by any chance build updated versions of any plugins with mod plugin builder? A lot of the newer builds there rely on wisdom files which I don’t think we’re being used in mod 1.8. That’s the only other thing I can think of. Try adding a utility pedal to test, they haven’t had any changes in a while…either that or your SD might have corrupt data. This can happen in rare cases as there is no safe shutdown implemented…
