Ok i sew your tutorial about that.. interesting!!

thank you

@chimerik

Hi Sammy. yeah - same issues here. I'm using MYO this week for Oulu Dance Hack. It works fine on OSX 11.7.10 Big Sur on my 2013 MBP, but its not working on my 10.15.7 Catalina iMac - the bluetooth dongle isn't recognised.

Hi Izzy community, I'm looking for some help. I am struggling to open an izzy file that @mark created for use with the iKeleton OSC iOS app. The thread can be found here: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/8409/ios-skeleton-tracking-app-with-osc-free-until-may-5th?_=1695879558655

Having downloaded the file I can see it was created in Isadora 3.2.6, but for some reason I am unable to open the file in Isadora 3.2.6. I'm initially prompted to created a new version of the file that will run in 3.2.6, which seems odd behaviour and then Isadora crashes.

In the above thread Mark says that he used the Guru 19 Rokoko Studio live Isadora file as the basis for this new file. I attempted to open this file instead (I have successfully done so previously) and again Isadora crashes. I even downloaded the version of Isadora that this file was created in, Isadora 3.0.7, again Isadora crashes.

I have attempted to open both files on two different Macs (see signature below), in each instance Isadora is running in Rosetta mode and I have ensured I have downloaded the most recent OpenNI Tracker, Skeleton Decoder, Skeleton Visualiser and Rokoko Studio Live Watcher add-ons.

Could it be my macOS? I'm running Ventura 13.5.2. Has any one else experienced this problem? If anyone is able to open the Isadora file from the link above and could then post a screen shot of the patch, including any user actors that will be super appreciated.

Many thanks and warmest wishes,

Simon

Higher-resolution video output will tighten things up. Each pixel is very multiplied by the nature of projection, so squeezing more into the same space by using higher resolution images/projectors will make things much cleaner looking.
But if you really need to soften the edge inside Isadora you can create a mask using Izzy map with a white video feed, sent to a virtual stage that you then grab and apply as an alpha channel to your actual output. In this way you can apply a blur to the black and white image before using it as the alpha mask.. this will give you soft edges.

I've been using Screen Goo: Goo Systems Global - Paint and Project-Any Size-Any Shape-AnyWhere

I have just not had a chance to try it out properly. Am working on a touring show - currently in Athens (Greece not Georgia) - and didn’t bring it with me.

Obsbot are just kickstarting a new camera that looks more geared towards pro use: they’re aiming at the church market. Has NDI built in. A cheap PTZ camera would be a great thing.

thank you !

@eva

having the z at -1 doesn't give you much space to move your particles around. i usually start with z at -100.

@bonemap

So we solved it now by downloading the "JS string length" from the add ons page and modifying it to take out brackets etc. in the JS. It works:)

Thank you for taking your time and helping:)

Hi,

for those who might need a sound player with positional marker points, I enclose a working test patch.

for my latest project I pimped up the sound player actor with Javascript in order to allow jumps to markers and allow a positional slider (like other players as vlc). My new project is completely driven by audio positions of one piece of music. The marker positions drive the whole setting of video and light changes. 

For setup and rehearsal I need to jump to specific positions in the music. So I designed the marker actor to jump to the exact position, and also to jump to the position 2 seconds before the marked position.

For testing purpose I extracted the relevant parts of the patch and added simple projections as proof of concept. Just use an audio file of your flavor and have fun with test sound player advance .

I would try fixing the fade times in Isadora. 

Out of curiosity, why would you not want the fade to be complete before firing the next cue?

Cheers,

Hugh

@wolandJust did , We will see if this helps, My main issue is the light board firing cues faster than Isadora fade times and Isadora getting tied up with midi and soft/hard crashing

@em_tx

Have you tried the motion blur actor ?

@rl

I think this would be better answered in a support ticket so we can ask you for more information about things that you shouldn't post on the public forum (e.g. We'd like to know if you submitted crashes via Bugsplat and if so what name and email you used, but we do not want you posting your name or email on the public forum.)

There's a link in my signature to create a new support ticket.

Best wishes,

Woland

@dusx thanks, if i manage to recreate the bug, I'll post a ticket...its verry on and off ..

and now I did simplify my patch, so hopefully it will have desepeard! 

Best

Is everything supported on the M1 and M2 MacBook Pros now?

Answer: Yes

@nandada wrote:

most importantly can you open new files?

Answer: I'm not sure what you mean, but you can open files made in Isadora 3.2.6 and also create new files using 3.2.6 if that's what you're asking.

As expected am getting much better performance with my M2 max MBP compared to my 2019 MBP. Load is around 50% when running 8x 1920x1080 HAP encoded videos simultaneously (with 1 out), with settings of target frame rate 30fps, general service 20x per frame and display refresh scaled.

My 2019 MBP would hit 100% load after running more than 6 simultaneous videos, so i previously used a target frame rate of 15fps

hi @nandada, i haven't hit any snags on my M2 MBP

Have borrowed a couple of monitors to play with 3 out and will report back results soon

The playhead indicator bar on the bottom remained green and does not advance to the next frame(s). This is different to when the player crashes altogether because the bar does not grey out.

I have upgraded to V3.2.6 and now using ProResLT and the issue has resolved itself I think. If it re-appears I will post on the thread.
