@elena,

@RIL suggestion may be perfect and useful for you. You can also look at editing your script/captions in an external file and then reading in the file directly - that way any updates can be tracked as a line number.

Check out the add-on for reading a file into Isadora here: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

Alternatively, the possibility of doing the same with the 'Data Array' actor is not overly complicated - see example patch attached:

@skulpture, @dbini, @Woland, thank you so much! I will experiment with all of this.

With gratitude,

As Woland mentioned, you can accomplish this in Javascript.
You likely want to build a 2D array (https://www.w3schools.com/js/j...) such that the Array is made of short arrays that contain the Value & the Position.. So you might have [50.33,2] where 50.33 is the max volume, and 2 the position it is in.

So your array may look like this (if it has 5 positions) [[50.33,1],[20,2],[10,3],[15,4],[30,5]]

You could then use the Array Sort feature on this array (https://www.w3schools.com/js/j...) to sort by the Volume level (first value in each sub-array).

This could give you this array: [[50.33,1],[30,5],[20,2],[15,4],[10,3]]

See how the value levels are now in descending order: 50.33, 30, 20, 15, 10

In this way, you can determine that the highest value came from output position 1, and the second highest volume came from output position 5

Hopefully that gets you started.

Perhaps this might help? A different direction, but maybe useful.

@dako-ark

Short answer: This is a known issue. The workaround is to set your keyboard language to English (USA).

Long answer: In macOS Ventura, there is a new feature called "Keyboard Equivalent Localization" that automatically translates keyboard equivalents (i.e., shortcuts) if the specified key is difficult or impossible to get to on the current keyboard. What is terribly annoying is that 1) this feature is turned on by default, and 2) there is no way to disable this in the system preferences as far as we can tell. Only within the app itself can this be disabled, which will require a new version of Isadora. Since 3.2.6 was compiled with the latest SDK, this new "feature" enabled itself without us opting in. The workaround is to set your keyboard language to English (USA).

Best wishes,

My example patch here also shows some ways to cycle through videos/pictures: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/

When you send the signal from AUMatrixMixer out to the AUAudioDeviceOutput though, is it sending the audio to all channels of the output (as in a mono input being sent to all speakers), or is there a way that the system knows to send the signal to a specific output channel?

 If you send it directly to your Saffire (choosing Saffire as output in the AUAudioDeviceOutput ) it will send the sound to the chosen channel. It doesn't work if you make a Multi-output Device with your Saffire and e.g. Blackhole because Multi-output Device have only two out channels. I haven't find a way to get both together in Isador or to have more outputs in a Multi-output Device

Thank you!

I installed various NDI and Dante tools on both my Mac and Windows PC.

NDI 5 Watcher's "audio out" on Windows includes: "Dante Via Transmit (Dante Via)".

NDI 5 Watcher's "audio out" on MacOS includes: "NDI Audio".

I will test both of these today.

My goal is to send my Isadora Stage output to a video wall via an AnalogWay server. It supports NDI.

https://www.analogway.com/file...

and bring in live remote Zoom, Webex, or MSTeams attendees to a background like this:

I also want to send this to our encoder so folks can view both the video and audio via multicast on desktops within their network by using our multicast player app: https://vivoh.com/

Someday I would love to port our encoder (Rust) to an Isadora Actor that is similar to the RTMP streamer Actor.

Or perhaps our app could support Dante AV-H input (H.264 with AES67 audio) from an Actor that sends this to a group address.

Or perhaps our app could support NDI HX3 input (H.264 with ?? audio) from an Actor that sends this to a group address.

I would love to brainstorm with anyone on these ideas!

 @woland said: Weird. I'm sitting here on Ventura M1 looking at the actor in my toolbox.

 it was the same on my M1 before I install the new version. I could see the old version (alpha), probably because I had installed it before Ventura.

Jean-François

@woland thank you!

@mrtsound

For IR remote solution, you might try this project:

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/osc...

@woland no worries, been there...

@bonemap thanks!

@woland Thanks I'll try to redo the user actor with global values. To try.

@particlep

The JS actor does not have any drawing abilities. It can create streams of numbers for animation, that you would feed to a Shapes actor or Lines actor. But can't create polygons directly.
