Trying to play a 360 video on a MacPro Xeon E5 rocessor, but it won't import into in Isadora . Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.1, 3Ghz 8-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, AMD FirePro D700 6GB GPU. Isadora version 4.0.9

Getting the error message: 

"The movie could not be read because one or more codecs used by a video or audio track are no supported (Error = 61)
The codecs used in this movie are: hvc1, aac"

The movie plays fine on two separate modern MB Pro machines, M1 and M3 processors.

Is this a processsor issue? Or something we can do in Isadora? The movie does play in QT player (as a flat movie) on this machine,

QLab and Isadora are pretty different beasts, but they both rely on CoreAudio under the hood (if I’m not mistaken), so it’s a good way to rule out OS or hardware issues.

This is an excellent idea and normally this would be a good test, but in this case one would be comparing the most recent version of QLab to Isadora 3.2.6, which was released in December of 2022.

If this were a problem with Isadora 4.0.9, (which @karlakr has now confirmed it is not), then it would be a valid test.

I might try installing ISADORA 4 and see what happens.

 4 includes a fix or two that address a stage freeze that was occurring on Windows in specific cases, so it may help.

i used this keyboards as a button can be reprogrammed as a midi device with the arduino ide

Nice project. Glad it was a success.

@tr742

No problem :)

@donald

If you want to have more than two videos, you'll need to switch to some other setup. Something like this: Download (same file, just added a third Scene)

I wonder if Python could achieve a similar result?

 Python or Javascript, shouldn't have any problem with this.
Just restart a timer when a new value arrives, and have a pulsed trigger that has the time checked constantly, making updates as needed.

@otto22 Hi. This might help https://forum.arduino.cc/t/2-s...

Hi all,

Does anyone have tips or sample contracts for situations where you’re re hired by a musician (as is often the case for me, but could be performance group or similar) to perform live visuals during their shows?

It’s mainly to clearly set things and split ahead of time and avoid issues later.

Yes, the NDI HX camera is great.

Also EpocCam works well. But I prefer the NDIHX.

@dbini On an M1there is no problem at all I tested today

@woland thanx!

Hi everyone,

I recently replaced a Christie lamp projector with a laser projector and kept the same Medialon integration. Previously, I used the TCP command HIS+LMP6 to retrieve and display lamp hours on the user interface. This worked perfectly with the lamp-based unit.

However, with the new laser projector, this command no longer functions and returns an error. I suspect that the laser model uses a different parameter for tracking usage hours, but I haven't found the correct command yet.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before or know the correct TCP command to retrieve laser hours or operating hours from Christie laser projectors?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@marco-0

If you post the original file I can take a look, but without that or more information there's not much I can do

Popopoooo, thank you JF and DusX !

It was super helpfull :) I have now the feddback that I needed, lessssgo to perform now !

Dear All,

thank you for your answers !

Sadly, I have no skills for any of these solutions, and most of all, it's for live performance so it's already a mess to hold computer, wifi webcam and play in front of so we decided to skip this scene.

Btw thank you anyway !

@woland Wow it seems to work fantastic! Thanks for your help I'll need to upgrade to Izzy 4

Cheers, David

@woland

What happens is when I quit Isadora, the file closes, all windows disappear, but Isadora remains open, lurking in the background. Attempts to quit from the Isadora dropdown do nothing and I need to Force Quit. I suspect it may have something to do with either the OpenNI Tracker or Screen Capture actors. Recently I've been working on a new patch that doesn't include either of these actors and Isadora is quitting perfectly.

@dusx

I've tried deleting the media on prompt when closing the file, or using the Delete Captured Media button in the Output dropdown.
