Noisedeck 2.0 known issues

There are a few known quirks in the 2.0 release. These are documented rather than blocking. We'll chip away post-launch.

Video export

Firefox MP4 exports don't open in Windows Media Player

  • Files do play correctly in VLC.
  • WMP can play them if the user installs the HEVC/codec extension from the Microsoft Store — but Microsoft charges $0.99 for it, and the Store reviews reflect exactly how people feel about that.
  • Not a bug on our side; upstream is Firefox's MediaRecorder codec choice and Microsoft's licensing.
  • Workaround: recommend VLC (or Chrome) for users who hit this.

Windows exports sometimes come out as just the watermark

  • Intermittent. Reloading the page has resolved it in every case we've seen so far.
  • Needs repro steps before we can dig in.

Zip export

Frame-zip export is slow

  • Works correctly, but zipping a full frame set takes a long time.
  • Candidate for post-launch optimization (streaming zip? web worker? different compression level?).

General

"Reload the page" fixes most transient weirdness

  • When something looks wrong (stuck UI, broken export, etc.) a page reload has been the reliable first-line fix during testing. Copy your program's DSL to clipboard first.
