I am sorry I got you confused. PNG+ is actually PNG with alpha channel (Millions of Colors+) size 1024x768\. This has been my favorite codec for clips with alpha over Animation and ProRes4444 and has been working the best so far.

I have a number of programs that crash on a regular basis. I have written an applescript to auto restart and fixes the issue... but if I did not do so, they would crash. I have attached the crash file from the last 3 x's. 0b4cbd-crashes-kevin-dobbe-2012-09-12.zip

Dear Kevin,

Well, two of the crashes are when the a movie is jumping from one place to another -- probably as a result of sending a value to to the 'position' input of the Movie Player.

The other crash was inside of the decompression codec for one of your movies.

Are you playing a _lot_ of movies? If so how many? Are you doing lots of input to the 'position' actor?

Can you please send me via email some descriptions of the media you're using and a sample patch that will crash. If the media codecs and resolutions are not too divergent, I can set up your patch and see if I can get it to crash.

Best Wishes,

Mark

There are a great number of movies that get randomly selected, and then a "preload" command is issued followed by a "Jump" to one of multiple scenes (Is this what you mean by Position Actor?). I will send the requested information to you via email. Thanks...

Dear Mark,

I finally had a chance to download 1.3.0f25 and the first thing that happens is this:

Process:         chk-isadora-running [7418]
Path:            /Applications/Isadora Isadora 1.3.0f25 pro/IsadoraCore.app/Contents/Resources/chk-isadora-running

Version:         ??? (???)

Dyld Error Message:

chk-isadora-running crashes, but Isadora loads. Then it says that there are two copies running (there aren't) and asks to quit.

Strange.

If I don't quit everything runs fine...

Dear Eric,

What kind of machine are you running this on?

A follow-up on the above mentioned Of25 issue. When I switched a project to Of25, it will always crash. Often the movies will stop playing and stay on a single frame. I took the installation and moved it back to Of24... it now only crashes every six hours or so (which I can deal with a restart applescript)... just a FYI.

I would like to report the great run I had with this update yesterday. I was very happy to have all video and audio and interactivity running from Isadora.

3,5gb master track with audio, small sound samples and video clips PNG+ triggered with wii+Osculator>Midi. Good performance without a glitch.

Hi all,
I just reopened "old" f24 patches and I noticed that CIMoviePlayer acts weird with Isadora 1.30f25 :
The audio volume control doesn't respond "live" anymore. When a movie is playing you can change the value but it doesn't change the volume. You have to stop movie and start it again for having the audio output level modified.
Do I send a bug report ?

Mark,

here is my set-up (see my signature line).

Macbookpro / Mac OS 10.5.8 / QT 7.6.4 / 2.2 Ghz Intel Core Duo / Lacie (Esata) 7200 / 2 GB 667 MHz RAM

take care,

ur,ummmm......................eric

mark

@fifou: yes, send a bug report. another user reported something similar yesterday.

Hi.

Just installed f25 today : I have the exact same issue than [ursullivision](/troikatronixforum/profile/278/ursullivision)

The fact is i have multiple versions of Isadora (installed, not running !), since still working on shows created on f20, even f14 !

Didn't check yet if it's working good after ignoring messages...

mark

Dear Spindflinch + ursullivision,

Could it be that you are 1) running a 32 bit only version of Mac OS, or 2) running on a G5/PowerPC computer, or 3) running on Mac OS 10.5?

Best Wishes,

Mark

Dear Spindflinch + ursullivision,

Actually, please try this: unzip the attached file, which will give you a new version of "chk-isadora-running"

Then do the following:

1) Right/Control Click the Isadora app and choose "Show Package Contents"

2) Double click the folder "Contents"

3) Double click the folder "Resources"

4) Drag the new "chk-isadora-running" there -- replace the old one

5) Run Isadora and see if you get the same problem.

Thanks for your patience and help.

Best Wishes,

Mark

I'm using videoglide software with 2 licenses and it's been working for years up until last week, but now it needs to be re-licensed every time I restart the computer.

To be honest I'm not sure if this is an Isadora problem, or Videoglide as I updated both softwares at the same time, unfortunately.. Anybody else have this problem?

vanakaru

I have been using Videoglide for many years and I have had to re-enter the key many times. Usually it pops up after long non use. So something gets changed that will trigger this. I am sure it is VideoGlide problem. I see this when using other apps like Modul8, Quicktime, Junxion.

ursullivision

Hmmm. I wrote them, let's see what they have to say (I threw out the preferences and let the software generate new ones but this hasn't solved the problem).
My problem is that I have enter the serial # with every restart of my computer. This was never the case before.
