Crash City!!!

[lexaproductions]

Hi. I've been troubleshooting these new crashes I've had lately.
Steps to reproduce:
Try to load a large number of project Tabs using SWS's Project Tabs (RPL File)
When I get to about #49, Bam the whole thing explodes.
Up until last week it's never happened to me. Reaper has always been rock solid for live Playback using the "Several Project Tabs" method.

In ALL the crashes logs , reaper_video.dylib seems to ALWAYS be the culprit as it is always the 4-5 last process before each and every crash. Sometimes I succeed in loading the projects and then Reaper is Rock Solid to play it back all day.

But what is this reaper_video.dylib process???

Any thoughts?

It's the REAPER module responsible of handling video items. Do you have any videos in your projects? Which version of REAPER are you using (there's been a lot of video-related changes in the last few dev pre-releases)?

(The crash report might provide more detailed insight.)

Merci Beaucoup pour ton aide.

I did have some Youtube video files in there. There's probably something in those files that's troublesome. For now I just took them out. But I'll investigate this.

Here's a crash log: Those first lines about reaper_video.dylib are ALWAYS there.

Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS. (SIGSEGV)
