Goodness me...

What happens if you connect the projectors to your MBP rather than the Mac Studio? Same result?

should be able to play one mp4 (i know hap is better) ....???? are there any known incompatibility with izzy

Yes, but there are various ways that different software can spit out mp4 files. There are known issues with certain quirky things like embedded timecode tracks and the h265 codec (though that problem may be limited to Isadora 3 and older) that can cause issues in Isadora, which is why our first suggestion is always to transcode any media files that are misbehaving in Isadora.

@jfg

I have two small suggestions for you.

First is @DusX updated  python tools, in the add-ons here. Like you I couldn't understand the first video, but this did help me get started.

And the other thing which has really helped me with Python is using AI. Specifically Claude Sonnet. I like that model particularly because it is good at explaining, which helps me to learn the process. 

When I'm starting a chat I:

ask it to add detailed comments to every line of code explaining what it does in plain English (am sure it's equally capable in other languages!).ask it for a "Step-by-step environment setup guide," including how to install the necessary libraries for my OS.

I just did this for Windows, and Claude Sonnet gave me verbose instructions. Including how and where to install all the necessary libraries, etc. I don't have time to try that all out right now, but will certainly give it a go later.

Meanwhile maybe this is useful...
