Hi all - 

In the end, the issue was actually that in the projector's internal settings, the projector aspect was set to NATIVE, and when I changed it to FULL it spanned the entire area.

I think this has to do with the projector's ability to resize SDI (16:9) back to 16:10.

Hope this helps someone else in the future!

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).

@woland + @Skulpture + @jfg

Thanks guys

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

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

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

@woland

Thank you! That's great info. And the licencing too.

You can probably find something useful in this Add-On of mine: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/

@woland Thank you very much - the MacOS Remote Login feature will do the trick!

Best wishes,

h264/mp4 is probably the worse format for looping on Windows. Due to the way h264 is decompressed it isn't ready for the beginning of the movie when it reaches the end of the movie ( I know, vague, but true). Video looping is much better (not perfect) if you run your videos as HAP. If you can give the video a few no moving frames at the loop point you can make them seemless.

Opener & Closer - Powerful tools for working with Sidecar applications.

I just published a new Isadora example file with two new Pythoner powered user actors. 
Get it: https://troikatronix.com/add-o...

The tools require a small module be installed, but the project also includes the latest version of my Easy Python Setup Tool, which will build the require virtual environment for you in a minute.

These tools let you open applications 'hidden' so that the UI/Stage Outputs are not blocked, allowing you to work send/receive Spout/Syphon and/or OSC if the apps offer such things.

A use case I personally have used this approach for is launching my Kinect2Share application allowing my full native access to my Microsoft Kinect on windows. 

FEEDBACK on the tools and the Setup process are greatly appreciated.
