      Firstly, I'm looking for a way to control actions in other software from Isadora via keyboard shortcuts. For example  to control the record (Alt+Cmd+R) and snapshot (Alt+Cmd+S) functions in Syphon Recorder. In other words, Python would need to send the keyboard shortcuts to Syphon Recorder when a trigger is activated. 

      This works in Pycharm:

      from pymouse import PyMouse
      from pykeyboard import PyKeyboard

      m = PyMouse()
      k = PyKeyboard()

      k.press_keys(['Command','Alternate','r'])

      # Documentation: https://github.com/SavinaRoja/...

      I think an actor in Isadora would help a lot of people and above all avoid the risk of crashing that always exists with external software (Osculator).

      Thanks

      Jean-François

      There might already be something for turning xyz coordinates into pitch/roll/yaw it in one of these files:

      Not sure if either of these User Actors I just slapped together work because I can't test them right now, but here's a file with Javascript User Actors that might be helpful:

      I would also love to be able to specify different bins for the Player actors. Currently, you can create any number of Picture bins to arrange your media in, but, as far as i know, you can only access one of them with the Picture Player.

      The new V4 controller controlling feature, for hiding controls dynamically, is a game changer! Thank you alot for this!

      But I'd like to suggest some helpful advancement. The feature is especially helpful to keep the workspace clean, even with a lot of controls.

      But if you have a lot of controls, you need to change a lot of addresses (beside connecting those to the actors).
      It would be amazing, if there would be some automation in the process.

      As an example, you build a group of controls, lets say to manage a movie player, but you need a second or even third player in one scene.
      To keep it clean, one would only want to show the controls of one player at a time.
      To achieve this, the addresses could be /Player1/Speed, /Player1/position, etc. . 
      After building the controls for player 1, one would copy/paste all controls, needing to change all the numbers in the addresses manually.
      To avoid this time consuming process of changing all the numbers in the addresses one by one, there could be used some coding variable, which would update the numbers dynamically.

      E.g.:
      manually putting /Player(1)/Speed/ in the address field.
      When this controls are copy/pasted, there is a process started, which checks the addresses of each control, recognising the numbers in the ( ) and automatically increasing them by one or maybe a number, which is set by a menu option.
      There could even be an option like the ID auto update option to avoid double IDs. Meaning, if I copy/paste a control with the address /Player(1)/Speed, but when pasting it, there already is a controller with /Player(2)/Speed, it will give it the /Player(3)/Speed or any next free number.

      This is an interesting Idea, and something we will discuss. (being added to our FR database :)

      As a note, what I do is save my files with Version numbers file_v#.mov for example, in my media folder, the file named file.mov is replaced by a copy of any new media I make. This allows me to update my file without relinking each file manually, while maintaining an archive of versions. Down-side of this approach is I need to have 2 copies of the latest version at any time. I do find renaming a copy much faster than using the relink UI interface though.

      Get Value and Set value

      Get Global Values and Set Global Values

      I find that best practice with this is to put the Set Global Values actor in a Background Scene if I only need to adjust the values via a Control Panel, then put the Get Global Values actors in my other Scenes. 

      A big difference between Broadcaster/Listener and Set/Get Global Values is that a Get Global Values actor will push its values when you enter the Scene that contains it, but a Listener actor will only push data when the Listener and its corresponding Broadcaster are both in active Scenes and the value going into the Broadcaster is actively changing. Another difference is that Broadcaster/Listener actors can also transport video, which Set/Get Global Values cannot.

      When in doubt about what an actor, or one of its inputs/outputs does, you can always right-click an actor and choose the top contextual menu option "Show Actor Help in Browser" to open a single page with all of the help text for the actor and its inputs and outputs.

      Try running it in demo mode. We specifically made the demo mode warning time out after 30 seconds with installations in mind. 

      The reason I’m suggesting demo mode is that you said it ran fine for two weeks and then started having problems. Licenses (depending on the type) will try to check in online every two weeks, so by going with demo mode we can eliminate that check as a possible cause of your issues. (To be clear, I don’t think it is the problem, but fewer variables is always better when it comes to isolating issues with no clear source.)

      [Edit: Though I suppose if it’s not the source of the issue, you’ll have a 30-second dialog come up whenever Isadora has to be brought back up… hmmm…]

      Hi Alex,

      I did something similar yesterday in Oulu Dance Hack, using a feedback loop through an Effect Mixer with a Video Delay. Super simple, but quite difficult to imagine the results.

      The Video Fader controls how much of the image is fed back into the system. Zero gives you an infinite buffer, 3 or 4 gives a long fade out. 
      Its particularly effective if you can control which bits of the image get fed into the system. I was using lighting in a dark space, but you can use something like Difference to split off part of the image and get it looping, then combine it back with the initial feed with an Alpha Mask or something similar.

      Welcome to the community!

      The example file we have for OpenNI is an excellent place to start: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-openni-tracker/

      These are basically what you need to make it easier to figure out how to trigger movement left and right: 

      https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/visualization-blob-target/https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/visualization-tracking-zone/

      This will also be helpful for learning about tracking: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/tutorial-basic-motion-tracking/

      Taking some elements from these other files by TroikaTronix, myself, @DusX, @bonemap, and other members of the community may also be interesting:

      Download materials for this session.

      Watch the session. (9:20)

      In this session, targeted at intermediate to advanced users, we'll dig deep into the 3D capabilities of Isadora. From the 3D Projector actor to using the 3D Player and 3D models to build up complex scenes where individual objects respond to sensory input, you'll see new opportunities for creating imagery that lives and breathes along with performers or the public. 

      There are two 360° video clips that you'll also need to download:

      Download materials for this session

      Watch the session (8:29)

      In this session, we dig deep into, body and skeleton tracking using Isadora's OpenNI Tracker actor. You'll learn how to connect your Kinect v1, Orbbec Astra, Intel Realsense depth cameras so that you can sense the movements of one or more performers. You'll learn how to use the Skeleton Decoder actor to read the individual points of the performer's skeleton, and how to use that data to interactively control video and sound. As usual, I will take your questions live and do my best to answer them.

      If you want interactive tracking of the human body to be part of your artistic toolbox, then this is the session for you.

      If you want to have more than two videos, you'll need to switch to some other setup. Something like this: Download (same file, just added a third Scene)
