One thing of note about when we installed 2019.8, we opted to not have the Open I/O NDI Plug-In added. We do not use that feature.
We also get a PMS_Not_Ready error on the source monitor, even when nothing is loaded onto it.
Here is watch the Console reports:
PlayerHostThread::CheckForExceptions: Exception: PMS_NOT_READY_TO_START
Monitor Exception:
* Exception: PMS_NOT_READY_TO_START
Exception caught in APlayer::Play - Exception: PMS_NOT_READY_TO_START
This may be something entirely different. This PMS warning pops up in 2019.7, as well.
+1 for not installing the I/O plugin either. Although I've not had the PMS error
I didnt install the plug in either.
I almost always get a white screen/crash when I've gona away from the app for a few minutes and tried to come back to it.
As a test, I did an uninstall and re-install of 2019.8 on one of our systems WITH the plug-in to see if I can still get it to crash. I can "fast-crash" the application by using Snipping Tool to capture parts of the screen. It does in 2 minutes what editing for two hours does. I float my bins and tools, then slide the interface to the left to expose the Desktop.
I was able to crash Media Composer after a FRESH install and restart inside 10 seconds!!!

I know the folks at Avid are on the case.
AntCaladine: Also I’ve just discovered .8 breaks baselight. If you try and apply baselight fx to a project that didn’t have it on, I get the white out issue too

Are you using the latest version they just released ahead of IBC?

Checking with Tim the AVX guy to see what he might know and will report back.

yes running latest version 5.2.11917
Tried installing with that I/O plugin option and still crashing like crazy. Unusable at this point. Have to revert back to 2019.7
I'm running a P4000 with 431.86 and not seeing this issue with Baselight and MC 2019.8 - I wonder what is different - what are your project settings and media type. I'm using DNxHR UHD p29.97 in an UHD project. You?
The other difference is that I'm running Windows 10 1903 (unlikely to be the reason for the issues you are seeing).

hi,When I open the settings of the user item , I can't adjust the size of the option box, so the computer screen can't see the "ok" button below. Is this a bug?
Only difference is your running the very slightly newer nvidia driver than me and windows build. (although a separate suite with 1903 on is experiencing that same issue)
I'll download and test 431.86 later
Hi, I'm having to roll back to previous version as bins would not open in latest version. Just keep getting error messages. Also, when installing it said I was operating an unsupported version of MC, which is clearly not correct.

What is the error message and when exactly are you getting it?
RalphC
Hi it said simply could not open. But cannot reacreate now fully as have rolled back and it's working fine again.
John
OK John.....
Next time you get any wacky behavior, screen shot it or capture the crash files so we can try and figure out why it happened.....
A LOT of white screen crashes. I think most of the times it occurs after i've been in another application like windows explorer or google chrome and when I switch back to MC, then it crashes.
I cant believe this was released. Super unstable, rolling back now.
