My patch is crashing and I've spent days trying to solve the problem. I can't figure it out so must ask you guys for insight. The patch uses searchtweet to find the latest tweets from twitter containing words in a [umenu] and then sends them to aka.speech to be read. After a while the patch will crash and I'm unsure why and what I can do about it. I need to run this as an installation and can't have it crashing... quite a problem. The patch is a bit of a mess but I've labelled what I have done in the hope someone out there might have a clue what' going on - any results on other systems would be useful too.

I do not know why exactly your patch crashes.(a crashlog would be of some help)

But as I worked with searchtweet a few times, I can say that I've had troubles myself.

Randomly crashing patches which worked perfectly fine before adding searchtweet.

Try replacing it with some random "message generator" and see if the crashes still happen.

If no: you've found the culprit.


Yeah it seems that way, oddly I just ran a stripped version just using searchtweet and the aka.speech (no gl.text or video stuff) for five hours no crashes... will do more experiments tomorrow.
