Thanks for giving yabridge a shot! If you're having issues with plugins not working at all or scans timing out then make sure to check out the [troubleshooting common issues](https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge#troubleshooting-common-issues) section of the readme. `yabridgectl sync` will also try to diagnose most if these issues for you during setup.

Also try our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/pyNeweqadf) for some quick help or questions.

**Problem description**
A short description of the current situation.

**System information**
- Operating system: [e.g. Manjaro, or Ubuntu 20.04]
- Wine version: [e.g. Wine Staging 5.13]
- Installation method: [symlinks/copies], [manual/yabridgectl]
- yabridge version: [e.g. 1.3.0 or commit a29f43a]
- yabridgectl version: [e.g. 1.3.0 or commit a29f43a, if using]

**Debug log**
Please also include a debug log if possible. If you are having issues with yabridgectl, then you can omit this section.

1. First make sure that there are no leftover Wine processes left running in the
   background using `wineserver -k`.
2. Launch your host from a terminal using
   `env YABRIDGE_DEBUG_FILE=/tmp/yabridge.log YABRIDGE_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 <host>`,
   e.g. `env YABRIDGE_DEBUG_FILE=/tmp/yabridge.log YABRIDGE_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 bitwig-studio`.
3. Try to scan or load the plugin that's causing issues.
4. `/tmp/yabridge.log` should now contain a debug log. You can either attach
   this log directly to the issue by dragging the file onto this text box, or
   you could upload the contents to a website like GitHub's Gists or Hastebin.
