JUCE 4 to JUCE 5 having strange issues with standalone plugin

Audio Plugins
1

Upgraded from JUCE 4 code to 5 and some very strange things are occurring.

What happened to the audio settings?

And why am I hitting this assert? (And consequently standalone plugin remains silent)

Edit: I realize there’s a description of why it’s being hit, no idea where to call reset, and why it’s suddenly needed.

In the AudioDeviceSelectorComponent constructor, you can specify whether certain fields are visible or hidden as explained here: https://juce.com/doc/classAudioDeviceSelectorComponent#a859af6ef664a974dc7d2ce3d24d8f94c

As for the assertion, you need to call reset() in the prepareToPlay() function of your AudioProcessor on your MidiMessageCollector like so:

midiCollector.reset (sampleRate);

How do you customize it without editing the JUCE code?

i.e. create a sub class, override, etc. where do you do it? what do you override? etc.

I can probably figure out what to override, but I just have no f***ing clue how JUCE expects me to not edit the JUCE code.

There’s no MidiMessageCollector declared in class AudioProcessor…? So this seems to be invalid:

As for the assertion, you need to call reset() in the prepareToPlay() function of your AudioProcessor on your MidiMessageCollector like so:

midiCollector.reset (sampleRate);

not sure why this is so difficult for me… wish there was a guide on customizing standalone app.

Have you tried creating a new standalone plugin from the Projucer plugin template? Do you see the same errors?

As a reference have also a look in this thread:

Thanks! I have this figured out as much as I care to at the moment, will take a look again in the future.
