Thanks Peter, I did just upgrade and it's working now. I probably should have just tried that! 🤦 Thanks once again for your help! :)

Hi Peter, I'm trying to set up a copy of my existing, working snowmix setup on a new machine for redundancy. I've compiled snowmix (0.5.2.1, same version as on the working machine), but when I try to run it I'm seeing: Invalid number of parameters: "feed add 1 Front " followed by a ton of messages saying that feed 1 isn't valid when I try to do stuff with it. I've looked at my ini file and the documentation and I can't figure out what I've done wrong. Perhaps I didn't compile with some option or...

a -h / --help would indeed be useful, and definitely would have saved me from opening this issue. Another suggestion, maybe include a suggestion to try snowmix -d in the "bailing out" error message? semi-related but different subject: we talked a while back and I was asking where I can find the git repo. You said there's no publicly available git repo. Could I ask why that is and maybe push back on that a little bit and encourage you to make the repo public? I would really like to have access to...

snowmix -d is working great! problem solved and 0.5.2.1 running fine! thanks again Peter!

My invocation is a bit involved. I'm starting it: in screen, in a loop, in a block of bash, in a function, in the background, in a launch script, in screen, in a systemd unit. I think it's probably the "background" bit that causes it to have no stdin. Here's the relevant code (with added comments so you have some of the method to my madness): start_snowmix() { echo "Starting snowmix..." # This code is running inside a (detached) screen session. # Here we open a new screen 'tab' just for snowmix....

I'm running on a pi4 and I'd be happy to try out some of this stuff if that helps. If you've got docs you could send them to me (myusername at myusername dot org) and I'll take a look. I think I remember reading that they did take away a bunch of hardware accelerated stuff with the pi4. Seemed silly to me.

I'll have to switch back to the new version and it's late now, I'll give it a go tomorrow and report back. Thanks again.
