on my pretty current Ubuntu Studio system, the meters in all but the
"fancy" GUI don't work. Apparently Qt tries doing them horizontally
when they should be vertical, and sometimes they appear momentarily when
the volume is large enough, just to disappear again shortly after (when
the bar would become so large that it would not fit horizontally in the
alloted space?).
Now Qt should be a cross-platform toolkit so this problem should likely
be apparent on other operating systems. It could, however, depend on
the version of Qt in use?
I have
dpkg -l libqt5gui5
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-================-=====================-============-=================================
ii libqt5gui5:amd64 5.14.2+dfsg-6 amd64 Qt 5 GUI module
but don't know whether this is the most relevant module responsible
here.
What are other people's experiences with the meters outside of the fancy
module? Do the metering bars work for them? What OS? What library
versions?
Thanks

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Correction: in the compact skin, the channel meters do work. It's the input meters that are broken in the compact skin. In the standard skin, both input and channel meters are broken, and the fancy skin has both working. Still trying to do a screencast: vokoscreen has been superseded by vokoscreenNG and I have failed so far to record more than about half a second of screencast.

Jamulus 3.6.1 on Win10, the meters work correctly for all 3 skins.
It would probably be worthwhile to make a bug report on github.

Ok, here is a screencast: https://youtu.be/_J3pIUo2A9k
