Also, there are many string functions available in Javascript.

The Javascript actor would be an option.

GStreamer supports various protocols, I would investigate that.

I'm glad you got something worked out.

@ Isadora Would you have a quick Example. It did not work :(

the FFGL plugin do not compile right images, for example do no accept some shaders that before were good...but...surprise surprise, now I downloaded version 1.03 from here https://github.com/leadedge/ShaderLoader/releases and now it works.

day after day I'm more convinced thad computers aren't deterministic systems.

Thank you all !! what mark says make sense. Yes Jackes it is normal behavior. Now i understand.

But what I want to achieve is that 2 normal behavior( Bounds set to 0 for the size font, and bouns set to 100 for line breaking) at the same time, what now I see is contradictory!! i want to be able to increase and decrease font size and  the line break without hit Enter/return key. I dont want to sound whimsical, but is a need for the live word feeding in the show. Attach the patch. enable the control panel to see control I´ve created  Thank you very much guys !! best Maxi whimsical

Important, with cursorTrig.app, you need all the dependencies to have a working application.

Leave them in the same folder. Jacques

glad you got it.

thanks!

@primvaldivine,

I am almost 100% sure that this MIDI thing is not related to the External Output feature. DigiDesign MIDI drivers have caused problems with Isadora and other MIDI software in the past. Just FYI. Best, Mark

yes, it seems that cortana is always listening and speaking to you

Hi,

I use several chained applications. The result would be better if I could automatically insert text in Text Edit. I use Dictation, Text Edit, Quartz Compser and Isadora. First, you have to make some adjustments in Dictation, in System Preferences. You have to activate Dictation (I have selected the option to activate by pressing "fn" twice). Then, also in the System Preferences, Accessibility, go to Dictation and then to Dictation Commands, "+" press and create a new user command. This command allows you to save changes in Text edit by slight murmur (see sceenshoots 1, 2, and 3). When these adjustments are made, we can open Text files recogn.txt, .qtz, .izz. Now with Dictation function (appears a small square with a microphone), and from the Text Edit file, we have to go inserting any text. By slight breathing after the text, we will saving Text Edit document and therefore entering text in Quartz Composer. Here, in Quartz Composer, comparison with our keywords occurs and if the result is true, a MIDI event is triggered. It is important that Kineme String With File patch matches the file path to the .txt document. The Kineme plugin, you must install it in user / Library / Graphics / Quartz Composer Patches I understand it's not a very clear settings but it works. The biggest problem is that Dictation sometimes understand anything. I hope this can be of some use to you.

Hello mikemixed,

the method with the data array actor is actually a workaround, as the values aren't be set while the scene is inactive but in the second loaded, when it's getting activated. So it's the same behavior the video preload actor combined with an enter scene trigger. But maybe the preload scene actor is helping you. cheers dill

OK - got it working going non-native.

Grab the Syphon for Freeframe plugin by v002 yonder: http://syphon-implementations.googlecode.com/files/Syphon%20for%20FreeFrameGL%20Public%20Beta%202.dmg Mount and copy the 2x bundles to /Library/Application Support/FreeFrame Restart Izzy. Use Syphon Client actor (from FreeframeGL category of toolbox) instead of Syphon to Texture actor. Manually type in the 'server name', ignore the 'App Name' input. 'Server Name' value is whatever came before ::: in the native 'Syphon to Texture' actor's server input. Pipe the output to whatever FFGL plugins and off to a projector, success!

You should know that HAP is only support in Quicktime format.

Although there is a directshow extension available from a 3rd party vendor, DirectShow playback has not been extended to support this extension. The only way to play HAP with gpu acceleration is as QuickTime. The DirectShow settings allow you to natively play 'wmv' among others. I really don't know why you would get better performance with Hap encoded avi's playing via quicktime. May simply be defaulting to something like pjpeg and have a smaller file size.

ok i see - thanks a lot

You got it ;)

Yeah. Started to work with Isadora three weeks ago. Trying to keep Patches as simple and non delay as i can. For "anti stress" reasons :)

Seems to me that with your system specs you should have nice smooth playback. So there may be something else interfering here. Please submit a bug report/ support request at http://troikatronix.com/support/isadora/ One of us will be able to help you there.

Hi here is a performance test on vimeo.

linking 3D object files to the motion capture stream in Isadora. The frame rate performance on my Mac Book Pro gets as low as 9fps. Not a tutorial. The video is a performance test, motion capture using Kinect Xbox 360, Delicode Ni Mate v2.03 and Troika Tronix Isadora 2.05\. The patch in Isadora is receiving OSC data stream routed to a series of 3D-line actors that make up a stick figure on the Isadora stage. In addition a series of simple 3D objects are also receiving the motion capture data stream via 3D-Player actors within a layer of the Isadora patch.
