XStudio 3278
© Copyright 2003-2015 C-R Media All Rights Reserved.
XStudio has been designed to be as trouble-free as possible and has been thoroughly tested.
However, not every usage scenario can be anticipated. This section is intended as a starting point for
diagnosing and solving problems but should not be viewed as an all-encompassing source of problem
resolution.
If the difficulty you’re experiencing is not covered here, contact the dealer who provided you with
XStudio first. Alternatively, you can contact dcsTools.com - see the topic on Technical Support.
Application Bugs or Errors
Bugs and errors generally fall into one of two categories - a bug, which is the application not doing
something as you might have predicted it would, or an error, which is the failure of the application to
run or perform a specific task altogether.
If you find a bug, report it. Every effort is made to ensure XStudio performs as expected, but there may
be circumstances that were not predicted in the development of the software. See the section on
Technical Support for information on reporting a bug.
If you encounter an error, you will get an error message indicating a severe failure and XStudio may
terminate. Provisions are made to "catch" such errors and log the error information to a file in the
XStudio application directory. The filename is XStudio.elf. Again, report any application errors you
encounter. You may be asked to send the appropriate log file for analysis.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
Before getting too far down the road in trying to find your problem, check these items to be sure your
environment for running XStudio is correct and functioning properly:
1. Make sure your PC (the one on which you are running XStudio) meets the minimum
hardware requirements for this application. See the section on system requirements for
more information.
2. Make sure your PC is functioning properly. This is a broad statement, but suffice it to say
that if your PC is suffering from "blue-screens" or is "locking up" for no apparent reason, the
PC may be a part of the problem.
3. Ensure that the pathways to retrieving log files, and, if applicable, inventory files and audio
files, are correct and "reachable" from your PC. If you are retrieving files from a LAN (local
area network), make sure you are correctly connected to the LAN and can "see" the host file
server.
4. Make sure that XEngine is started and running if you are using XStudio as a stand-alone
playback system. XEngine must be launched separate from XStudio and appears as a tray
icon in the Windows task bar when running.
5. If you are using a host DCS or Maestro as the host audio engine, ensure that the host
system is running.
6. Make sure that you have a default printer assigned in your operating system. Some
functions in XStudio might fail if you have no printers defined. These problems may at first
seem unrelated to printing. Some of the dialogs in XStudio offer print capability and
automatically check for a printer when the dialog is opened. Log Validation and Log Printing
are examples.
If you feel that the absence of a printer is causing your problem and do not have
or do not want a printer assigned to the PC running XStudio, one solution is to
add a standard file printing device to the system. This software-only solution
ensures that XStudio finds a "printer" when needed. Refer to your Windows
