Ok, everything is working now.

The user actor that contains the Note On Watcher and the Jump++, anytime it would be updated, would cause the jumping. That bug was known to the designer throughout tech (I am assisting him). I added PJ Link actors to the User Actor, and linking Control IDs to them so they could be controlled via buttons on the Control Panel (Shutter on, Shutter Off, etc.). Izzy was not too happy with this, thus causing the bizarre continuous advancement that would occur when updating the User Actor. Deleting these added actors has stopped the unwarranted advancing.

@vanakaru

please don't try any work arounds, keep your patch setup the way it 'should' work .. and hold on a little longer ;)

@DillTheKraut

I could recreate this with 2.0.5. Checked this also with the very soon available update and it's fixed there.

Thanks for reporting.

Usually, I avoid using sound player, using movie player instead to play sound (opening sound file in QuickTime Pro and recording it as .mov), I had less problem with it.

@selittle

Yes this is possible, you have to use a jump actor for each scene and in each scene (do it once and then copy paste it) it's mode should be set to absolute.

See attached sample patch.

yes. OSC problem!!! thanks!! :D It's ok now.

They show up now...sorry I didn't follow up on this sooner. Maybe just a restart of the machine did the trick?

Thanks DusX!

Another question - in my preferences I have my frame rate set to 60 fps and the General Service Tasks set at 8x per frame. My normal playback frame rate runs at 60 or consistently very close to 60 fps, and the cycle rate is generally in the area of 450. However this evening during the show I noticed that the cycle rating had dropped to 1x the frame rate for all of the scenes that use video playback.The video playback nonetheless appeared smooth. After the show I restarted my computer, and the normal cycle rate was restored. I am wondering - how exactly might the cycle rate effect video playback? What might a sudden drop in cycle rate mean in real terms to Isadora's performance, and would a sudden drop in cycles indicate any issues with my system or hardware?

Thanks for sharing.

Hi

Just to follow up on this process, not that anyone is interested, but... I ended up using 12 Crops in GPU mode to divide my live camera input into zones. Then I added CalcBrightness to each zone with (right now) 3 levels of brightness which are triggering sounds and video as I make a graphic design. On my old MBP 5,1 I'm is running around 240 cycles, 30 fps @ 33% processor. That's sure to go up as I add details and complexity, but I'm please at this point. Thanks to Mark and Fred! John

Please try deleting your preference file.

I had this happen as well.

Searching for it in my 'Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features' turned it up. (left from a pete plugins I think) I uninstalled it, and installed the new plugins without any issue.

@niknaim

I would try HAP.

@kdobbe

also note that you can take advantage of gpu based scaling in the GPU to CPU converter actor. This is useful for 2 reasons.  1- using a lower resolution for Eyes has always been a smart savings of CPU power 2- getting the lower resolution from the GPU saves addition CPU cycles.

I just filed a bug report of similar crashes, Yosemite as well. it only happened twice yesterday, problem didn't reoccur today (yet). I thought in my case it may have had sth to do with 2 installed Blackmagic PCI cards running 2 live cams at the same time as Kinoni's Multicam. Can't be sure however...

I was just wrestling with this very issue.  I'll check those initialize values, thanks for the tip!

Thanks Ryan: couple of things: 1) wifi on improves program opening, not the other way round. 2) MBP running 10.6.8.

John

Thanks.  Learn something new every day!

I haven't run into this issue recently (maybe last year)

The dll should be part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. (doing some searching I can't tell if its included in the 2012 package) The distribution can be downloaded here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

What version of Windows is the fresh OS?
It may be that this file is no longer distributed with the OS.

Have you tried to add or remove Premultiply?
This isn't handled correctly for all FFGL and may be related.
