Video playback has been worked on extensively in Isadora 3, so you can expect that many improvements are included.I would recommend you install Isadora 3 and run it in demo mode to run a few initial tests. (what codec are you using? this seems like it might be the most important factor)With the new licensing options, you could even pick up a week rental to do additional testing before committing to the full upgrade. 

I'm using PURETOOLS PTE-HD50. With 90m cat 6 UFTP cable and barely had any problem. Why 90 m ? Provider always keeps a 10 % safety from builder's info (100 m). I bought a 5m HDMI cable from computer to TX and a 5m HDMI cable from RX to projector.PURETOOLS : german brand.... ;)BTW, they also sell an HDMI cable with a safety. A kind of locker that finally bring HDMI cable in "safe zone"... Must check...Best

Hi all ! if anyone can point how to solve this. I need to change something about this shader. It works fine but when I insert it as a Tex Map in the 3d particles it does like a very fast and sutil "black out" when the color changes. And because of that the particles dissapear for a second. I cant find in the code that behavior.  Thanks in advance MaxiGLSL.zip

Yes. Keyboard watcher is your friend.Click in th ebox and type a ' (apostrophe) then enter a letter then close with a ' (apostrophe)

@fred said: I went to buy the upgrade to V3 for my 2 usb keys. The form requires the ISM or ISW codes, but as far as I know USB keys do not have this kind of info. I do have the long registration codes that are needed to active the USB keys on a machine, but these are not needed. The only ISM style registration I got with my USB licences was a temporary license. How is it actually possible to purchase USB key upgrades from V2 to V3? Actually, please just submit a ticket instead of buying the upgrade. You're part of the beta Platinum group so it may be that you still have free upgrades left (I'll need to check my records). Submitting the ticket will be easier than giving you a refund if we haven't processed your beta rewards yet.

@wolandHello Woland,I am using 3.0.1, not the beta.I am just wondering if everyone can haved all FFGL without problem and this is only my problem...

@Woland Thanks for the response.    This would explain it ... I can get by for the moment on what I have if I stay on Isadora 2 - and will work on your suggestions in the meantime to see if they do the job,or soemthing close to it.  If they don't I will get back to youThanks againSarah

I've made some improvements to the Value Decay User Actor, and created a demo file.It is now posted to the Plugins section: https://troikatronix.com/plugi...

@michel said: First to have Isadora be the most front application you should use this apple script ( IzzyApplicationFocus.zip ). So instead of putting the Isadora file in "start up items" of the Mac put the script there. In Isadora you then go to the preference settings and activate "open most recent file" and "activate 1st Scene and auto display the stage after 3 seconds" as you did already. On the Mac side I am not sure if this would help, but did you also enable "Auto Startup After Power Failure" ?  The app InstaFigurator will also help you setup your Mac for Installations. @simon said:Unfortunately I've still not found a solution to the mac scheduling on and off when power is switched off each evening. The Auto start up after power failure works but I don't think the mac mini would last 6 months of having the power switched off without it shutting down. @ Skulpture I came across your post about museum installations have you had this problem or are all your macs powered over night?It sounds like the if I set the Mac Mini to hibernate mode the drive will spin down and it would be okay to pull the power to the mac mini each night and then using auto start up after power loss to restart it when the power is switched on in the morning. @Skulpture said:I had two mac minis doing exactly that for over a year. Once or twice I had to fix them when it was unplugged by cleaners or third party external companies (such as PAT testers) but they were pretty stable to be honest. @ simon said: It sounds like the if I set the Mac Mini to hibernate mode the drive will spin down and it would be okay to pull the power to the mac mini each night and then using auto start up after power loss to restart it when the power is switched on in the morning.  But yes you are right with this also.  @mc_monte Do we already have a support article about this? If not, it might be good to take this info and at least put it into a non-public draft to finish later.

@bonemap said: Agree, could be very useful to be able to retrieve the usb key registration code from the license portal It's something are investigating. We also plan to release an updated version of Isadora 2.x that uses the Software Key licensing system ;)Moving forward we're going to be doing everything we can to unify and simplify the licensing systems.

@bonemapNot sure how we would have missed it. Sorry about that. I will look for it an follow up with you.Options on Mac are different that what I posted above. This table only applies to Windows.

So here is what I know, Isadora is capable of sending 4 Universes of ArtNet per Device, so if you have a device that is capable of sending more then 4 universes you can't use it in Isadora 3 (It is capped at 4), or atleast that was the case in Isadora 2.6.x. Don't know or Isadora 3 changed that. 2x DMXking LEDMX4Pro's should be capable of doing 8 universes, more then that and you need more DMXKing to work around the cap. Can you tell us a bit more about the behavoir "funky" ?

@victreuxIf you haven't already, please check your forum messages. I'd like to bring you into the beta testing group.

@mark Dear Mark, thank you for your fast respond. That worked :-)Best Michel
