I was able to narrow it down.
A simple pass through plugins that just copies the input to the output frame
buffer works. The standard plugins and examples also work. So my installation
of Motion is ok.
The reason for my plugins to fail is related to the pixel buffers that I use.
(Yes I know that PBuffers are deprecated).
To create a pixelBuffer I get the current context with CGLGetCurrentContext()
and then create a new one with CGLCreatePBuffer. This worked great for the last
decade.
Since I installed Motion 5.4, CGLCreatePBuffer returns error 10005
(kCGLBadDrawable). This means that the original sharedContext of the Motion
framebuffer must have changed in a way that my attempt to attach a new
framebuffer fails.
Can you find out what has changed?
Thanks!

Hi Darrin,
Everything works perfectly under Motion 5.3 and FCP X 10.3. Then I get some
reports from customers that the plugins only show a white picture. So I updated
at first High Sierra from 10.13.1 to 10.13.4. This did not break anything. Then
I updated only Motion from 5.3 to 5.4.1 and this makes all my plugins fail
completely.
I am using the same self written engine in all plugins. So when I get one
plugin fixed, it will work for all plugins.
I am guessing that something must have changed with the frame buffer contexts
or something similar. Maybe it’s an eyepoint or an alpha channel thing…
I’ll dig into it today.

I’m not aware of anything that would cause that. Can you narrow down where the
problem is? For example, if you make a pass-through plug-in that just copies
the input to the output, does that work? Does the example FxBrightness work
properly? Are you using any other technologies in your rendering such as QC or
CI? (I’m not aware of any changes to those technologies either, but it adds
more possibilities to the pile.)

So…
it’s not OSX that’s causing it. It’s the latest update of Motion / FCP X.
What did change for the FxPlug plugins that renders only white pictures?

Hi everybody,
all my plugins worked just fine under High Sierra until the last update of High
Sierra. Just by updating OSX now all my plugins suddenly only render a white
picture.
Before I dig deep into the code I like to ask: Is there something that I should
know about the latest OSX High Sierra 10.13.4 update? What has changed that
could cause this to happen?
Thanks!
Christoph Vonrhein
