I would transcode it again using shutter encoder or something. It sounds to me like a corrupted video codec so recreating it is probably your best choice.

Hello,

last week i wanted to play an mp4 file in a theater - it was playing smooth during a test but on the beginning of the show the load goes up to 500% and the movie on the projection was just stuttering in 11 fps. I used a very powerfull Win 11 (Version 25H2) the specs in the picture below - anyone any idea what could be the reason for that strange behavior?

Ok,makes sense. We should get together for a beer sometime but not so many as last time! Got a new studio and its the best I've ever had.

I used to be able to have a Videos and Pictures Tab at the top of the bin picker.

I don't think this was ever possible. I tried with 3.2.6 and 4.0.0 and it wasn't do-able in either of those.

It also wouldn't make sense functionality-wise because then the same Control ID would be used by Picture Players and Movie Players, but they use different kinds of media and those media have different index numbers that don't matter to the other kind of Player actor.

I'm using a work around. Adding another bin picker just takes up more screen monitor space. No Biggy.

Hi, I used to be able to have a Videos and Pictures Tab at the top of the bin picker.

Now it's all the Tabs or only one. If I try to add another Tab, the first one goes away.

is there a reason to run it in Rosetta ?

 The only real reason to run Isadora in Rosetta mode is to use the 'OpenNI Tracker' actor which is EOL.
The core libraries used for the OpenNI tracker, haven't been and will not be updated for use with Apple Arm processors, so the OpenNI Tracker can't be updated either unfortunately.

is there a way to make numpy and openNI work in ARM mode?

Maybe, this configuration isn't tested. You may be able to install a python virtual environment via terminal forcing the process to run under x86_64.
That will give you an 'intel' version of Python, and if the version is exact (it is 3.12.10 currently) Isadora (running under Rosetta) may be able to use it, and when you install the required modules via PIP, you could use something like: 

arch -x86_64 /path/to/python3 -m pip install --only-binary=:all: numpy==2.5.2

to force the intel version of numpy to be installed.

...As I said, this is untested, and definitely a more advanced install/config. I would avoid it to be honest.

Here is the touch OSC file and a striped down Izzy file, it was made in 2017 hopefully it's useful to you. I took out the 3 smartphones, next to the iPad they all had individual movies, pictures and audio files pushed to their device.
