What does this error mean?

Post by CoffeeCone » Sun Apr 28, 2013 10:05 pm

Code: Select all

card "card id 1002": execution error at line 4 (Handler: can't find handler) near "initialize", char 1
However, the highlighted line on the script editor is line 21 so I think this is an internal issue? I have encountered this same error on a totally different project but it somehow "fixed" itself at some point and didn't show up anymore. Now, however, it's pretty persistent.

The highlighted line in my code is the following

Code: Select all

revInitializeVideoGrabber (the short name of this stack), "vfw", the rect of grc "image canvas"
The very same code works on OS X 10.6.8, however.

I think revInitializeVideoGrabber is one of the things broken in 6.0. They know about it and a fix is in place.

If the fix is in place, where do I download the update? I'm running on 6.0.0 build 1511.

I don't think it's been released.
In your Preferences>Updates select everything and you'll be informed when it's ready.

They are all checked except for the last one (which disables them all). So will this update notice come in as email? Or?

Well there may well be an email but otherwise when you start LC it will notify you if a new version is available.

Down at the bottom there are links to LC 6.0.1, the video stuff should be fixed in that version.
