Auval FORMAT TESTS: ca_require: InvalidFormat errors?

stephenk · May 4, 2021, 5:40pm

Hi, working on a plugin, JUCE 6.0.8, it generates audio but does not take any audio in. I’m seeing the following in auval, many times:

InvalidFormat /Users/stephen/Development/JUCE/modules/juce_audio_plugin_client/AU/CoreAudioUtilityClasses/AUBase.cpp:870

and I just wonder what it means, is it errors? Am I doing something wrong for AU?

My AudioProcessor has the following:

bool PluginProcessor::isBusesLayoutSupported (const BusesLayout& layouts) const
{
        // only allow 0 inputs and 2 outputs (stereo)
    int numIns = layouts.getMainInputChannels();
    int numOuts = layouts.getMainOutputChannels();
    return (numIns == 0 && numOuts == 2);
}

bump… No one has any idea what these mean, and how to fix it? The same AU passes pluginval with strictness level 10…
