Program crash using multiple CI projectors and a user actor
-
I've just installed new version and positions in my file have changed! is this normal?
-
Can someone help out. I've got a show tomorrow, I've put everything in the right place and now some actor's positions have changed with new version. I try to fix one thing and another one changes.
-
What positions have changed?
Can you post the problematic scene so we can look at it?

I use Image processing in 1920x1080.
25 fps.A lot of projector actors I'm using throughout changed horizontal and vertical position once I opened the file with the new version. -
Would you mind posting the patch?

If you install a new version of Isadora you have to go through the preferences again because they will revert to default, the shape actor uses the resolution you have set in the video tab of the preferences settings. Different resolution settings could have an influence on the position of the shapes.
If you re-install version 1.3.1f06 you can see the old settings (it's stored for every version separately) can go through the preferences and change them in the new version to those settings. You can also install 2 versions of Isadora, you have to rename the Isadora folder for example from Isadora to "Isadora new".
Can you post the problematic scene so I can have look at it?

I've gone in the file and changed the vertical and horizontal positions. The scratch bam_season 2_3 is the updated one, there are still a couple of projector positions that need changing. Is this something that has happened before in switching from one version to the other?
I have also attached scratch bam_season 2_1\. That's the file that was crashing on me previously, the scene named finale is the one that has the problem (please see bug report above). On the newer file I'm trying to simplify it. If you can have a look, I'd appreciate it. To be honest, I've already experienced a crash during a show and really need to have a good stable patch to go.Thanks a lot!af9e86-scratch-bam_season-2_3.izz adad1e-scratch-bam_season-2_1.izz

I just tested your patch, if I change the resolution in the preference settings the output is not the same as the default settings. It is important to use the same settings in a new Isadora version for it to be consistent.
I can't imagine that the position in the shape actor changes if you update Isadora, I never heard of that.
If I look at your patch it sure can be optimized, I have a question, are only 2 playing at a time, meening before you activate another pair of movie players you deactivate the current ones?

I am also looking.Do you think it may be wise to replace the Classic Movie Players with the newer Movie Players? The media says its not AV Foundation compatible but still... would the newer movie players be better for the job? Especially in the "finale" scene? -
It sure would be better using the new movie players but with the 1.x licence he does not have access to the new movie players. Or am I wrong?

Ah yeah; version 1. Didn't see that.
I was also wondering if all the projectors and videos are needed.Would this help a little?
-
Yes that would be the way I would have done it, though it seems he uses 2 movie players at the same time.
@eratatat you just have to add a second trigger value to each keyboard watcher that sets the movie number on the other movie player.
As I have seen one movie players position is set to 100, I guess you just want the last picture be seen there. Do set another trigger value with 100 that goes into the movie players position, but then all other keyboard watchers have to trigger a trigger value of 0 going into the movie players position input.Best Michel
