Help needed with DMX4ALL Usb Nano DMX interface and latest Freestyler (Error creating output thread)
Posted: September 15th, 2019, 9:38 pm
Hello,
As I'm not positively sure that there is a bug, I'd like to ask for some advice. I have a DMX4ALL USB Nano DMX interface which perfectly works fine on my old Windows Vista laptop on which I still have an old version of Freestyler.
As this laptop is close to falling apart I have installed the latest Freestyler (3.6.50) on a newer Windows 10 laptop. Also installed the latest driver from DMX4ALL. The driver installs fine and Windows 10 nicely reports it with the assigned virtual COMx port.
Whatever I try or do, I cannot make this work with Freestyler. I select DMX4ALL 3rd generation as per instructions from DMX4ALL's manuals, and the assigned com port. Freestyler always comes with the "Error creating output thread".
To find out if this is a driver or Windows10 issue, I installed DMX4ALL configurator from the DMX4ALL's website, and this software sees the interface, opens it and I can control my fixtures.
What am I doing wrong here in Freestyler? Or is this maybe a bug that I need to report? I've been struggling with this for months now, gave it up and continued to use my old Vista laptop but can't do this forever.
Any hints of suggestions appreciated!
Kind Regards,
