Hopefully the previous steps assist in getting you a successful request from metalpriceapi.com?

Thanks @Michel @bonemap - exactly what I needed. And for the timestamp bonus @dbini @Woland 👌

Much appreciated!

Also, on the topic of time-code, perhaps this bundle of add-ons will be useful to you.

@woland Thanks - I'll find a work-around...

I stopped using Isadora partly because of this unavailable option that I use in every project. I regularly check to see if the blur handling in mapping has been improved. And the years go by, and I'm surprised every time that it hasn't been implemented. It's sad; I love this software.

@woland + @Skulpture + @jfg

Thanks guys

There's plenty to work with in all your suggestions. @jfg exactly what I am trying to achieve.

The apple integration connection is so great when you can use it. Low-latency and high resolution. In this case, the local network has worked (thank you all).

What’s the latest iOS I can use for this software ?

 The newest version of macOS that is officially supported for use with Isadora 4 is Sequoia. Tahoe may be fine, as we have not gotten reports of Isadora 4 not working on Tahoe, but officially it's not a supported OS for running Isadora 4 until we do further internal testing.

do you think AI would be up to writing the necessary script?

 Yes, I don't think it should have much trouble with that.

Yes, what you’re asking for is definitely possible in Isadora. Generally I'd do it by using the Text Formatter to give specific name formats to question and answer videos so they can be told apart. Another approach is to write the list of media numbers for user-made question videos and user-made answer videos (as they are created) to two different text files using Data Array actors and then using Shuffle actors to handle randomization. The ideas that @dbini shared are great too, and a form of the timeout feature he mentioned is actually already included in the version of the patch I posted earlier this year.If you’d like me to continue developing this for you, I’m happy to, though I’d need to do that as freelance work outside of my regular TroikaTronix hours since my TroikaTronix work hours are quite busy with other tasks at the moment. If you'd like to go that direction, feel free to send me a message via forum DM.We’re planning to roll out a more formal professional services system next year, which will allow people to hire Ryan or me through the company as expert consultants or to commission us for complex Isadora builds.Best wishes,Woland

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation — really helpful! I love the idea of using the Text Formatter and the text-file approach to keep things organized, and it's great to know this kind of setup is totally doable in Isadora. I’ll dig into those methods and see how far I get.

And thanks as well for the offer to develop it further. I might take you up on that once I get a bit deeper into the build — really appreciate you being open to it, especially with your schedule being packed.

Best wishes, and thanks again for all the guidance!

@eamon

Thanks. That's been a huge help.

@woland

That is amazing. Thanks.

thank you for the answer. 

Glad to read that you have logged this as a feature request, it 's really important for people working with alpha channel... (and isadora is, in my opinion, really made for this !!!)

So i will keep working in prores 444 (just have to slow down on layer's numbers and glsl ...)

artoo.

@dcmp

Hi,

Yes, those are the right modules to use. 

As identified, you will require a way to take the linear stream of numbers from the Matrix Value Receive across to the LanBox Channels inputs. To achieve that, in the Matrix Value Receive actor, I have specified a comma to separate the values (as in CSV), a script can then be prepared to return each value individually. Isadora offers a range of ways to implement scripts to parse data including with a Javascript. 

The Matrix Value Receive actor has an assignment mapping when you double click on it. It is there where you will correlate the channel input to the output stream.  

The Matrix Color Send has a video input and I have used the Get Video Size actor to return the pixel dimensions of the video stream (in my case 650 x 650 pixels). I am then using that information to determine the inputs for 'repetition' and 'spacing' of the 1 pixel rows indicating where the video is sampled for its intensity as an input 'grey', greyscale image.

I have prepared an example that resolves what you are doing with the Matrix Color Send module... here.

best wishes

@dbini

from help file:

Hi,
I usually do the chases using a sequence of [wave generator] shifting the phase depending on the amount of fixtures in the chase. The limit-scale allows me to set the max-min intensities of the chase.

I also use a Javascript actor to automatically assign the phases: This is actually not really needed since it's generally a one time job and you can do it by hand.

I hope this was clear. Don't hesitate to ask if I was not clear enough.

@bonemap

The login to the Add-Ons Page has been fixed, so you could upload this there too if you'd like. :)

Thanks I’ll take a look.
