How I wish you could stream these open studios, even in the most basic of ways.

Unfortunately, I'm not at a podium with a screen behind me giving a presentation or anything like that; I'm walking all over the room helping people and explaining things, so there's not really a way to get any good video angle nor a way to get a good audio feed (wireless lav and a mic capable of covering a whole room are not things I have access too).

file format is MP4

 MP4 is not a good format to use this approach, since the position input of the movie player is being set, this doesn't allow the multi frame decompression used by MP4 to work as expected by the codec. 

Try transcoding to HAP, that is the best format for dynamic playback.

There is no link to the App. We will need to understand how this is providing the lyrics to you?

How I wish I could join you!

How I wish you could stream these open studios, even in the most basic of ways. Consider that a Feature Request 

Hello,

A DJ has sent me an app where I should be able to take in lyrics from the music he is playing via an app.But how to do this? he is using claude for programming and the app is in sync with spotify. he sent me this:I hope there is linked to the app now?

Can some of you nice people help me or tell me what you need of more info to help me do this? He also says it might be easier to take it in via LAN - but I am not sure how to do this? I am on a mac studio btw:) using Isadora 3

All the best Eva

@Woland Your thoughts?

 Agreed

@gpeddino

Another option is to send a MIDI note to start your Movie Player and see how that works for you.

A trick I use is:

1. Create a Control Panel with a button that takes you to the next Scene
2. Move the cursor over that button.
3. Put tape over the optical sensor of a wireless mouse (now the cursor cannot move off of that button).
4. Put the mouse in your pocket, on the floor, or take it apart and make a glove that completes the left-click circuit when you put your forefinger and thumb together.
5. Now you can slap your pocket, step on the mouse, or close your fingers (with the glove idea) to trigger things.

Further advice:

• Use a USB instead of a Bluetooth mouse
• Use a USB-over-cat5/6 extender to put the usb receiver for the mouse above the center of the stage (for larger stages) or just closer to the stage (if your computer is already backstage and the stage is small enough for it not to matter).
• TEST TEST TEST! Always bench test your setup as much as possible, then test more once you're in the actual venue.

Interested in hands-on control using wearable tech?
