I've added this to our existing feature request for this

Hey all, maybe someone can give me an idea of how to proceed.

Some info: I created a movie + live music show and we have performed it only once in a small cinema. We use two MacBooks, one on stage (with Ableton for all the audio, click, cues, etc) and one in the projection room (with Isadora and the movie itself, subtitles, etc). The whole thing is connected via timecode over audio.

But apart from all that, I also used an instance of Isadora on the stage MacBook to control the stage lights. It was very simple, just MIDI info from Ableton to Isadora dealing with a main dimmer and some color changes. Then this was sent to my DMX Enttec PRO and straight into the eight PAR Leds by the stage sides. It all worked smoothly.

But here's the thing: we got an unexpected call to do the show in a big theater, about a month from now. They have loads of lights (7 DMX universes) and an ETC EOS Gio. And now I'm not really sure how to rework my system into this new setting. The light controls now have to be on the OTHER MacBook because of the distance, but that one will not be running Ableton to send the MIDI (and even if it was, it would not sync up with the timecode)

Any ideas? I'm looking into other stuff I don't really know about like MIDI Show Control.

I'm very confused now that it worked without gloves for you, as we apparently had an issue in our database that said that Rokoko crashes with the Rokoko SmartSuit Pro II if you're not using gloves, but then we resolved it because it looked like the problem was resolved.

If we can't reproduce it reliably, we can't make a fix, so we need to isolate what causes and doesn't cause it.

Between it crashing, then not crashing, then crashing again, did you do anything like:

• Plugging in the suit while streaming instead of using wifi
• Changing the network the suit was on
• Changing the network your computer was on
• Changing the port being used
• Un-checking and re-checking streaming in Rokoko
• Using a different Scene in Rokoko
• Unassigning and/or re-assigning the suit from an actor in Rokoko before starting to stream data
• Unassigning and/or re-assigning the suit from an actor in Rokoko while streaming data
• Unassigning and/or re-assigning the suit from an actor in Rokoko after ceasing to stream data
• Anything else you can think of?

Could you also try making sure that your computer is only connected to one network (the one being used for Rokoko) and disabling your computer's connection to any other networks?

If none of that seems like it affects anything, we could proceed with more tests (I wish I could do them myself, but I don't have a v2 suit).

@woland No I don't think that will help as the ports pertain to what midi device you're connecting to. Inside the sysex actor is a script you have to write, then you insert perameter values using 'P1'  'P2' etc. There are workarounds where I trigger specific sys ex actors with some characters pre determined. 

It would be a great feature to be able to put way more parameters into these actors generally. Same with the text formatter actor

I thought it was ok, but the problem is back.
I tested the three options you listed, restarting my computer between each.
All three sequences resulted in immediate crashes. I set the crash reports for each.

Let me know next steps,

You might try changing the video Projector actor ‘blend’ input from ‘additive’ to ‘transparent’. You could also try changing the same Projector ‘layer’ input to a higher value than the base Projector layer.

Hello everybody!

I'm having some issues with overlaped elements.
When I combine a transparent video element with a jpg background it automatically generates a "luminous" effect on those images. It also occurs with statics elements.

Does anybody knows how I can take this effect off and normalize this situation?

Tks a lot :)

For anyone coming to this for answers like I did, there is now a "Float to Integer" actor that will do this. And if you're using a timer, which actually outputs in millis, divide by 1000 to get seconds first.

@emullis

So you're all good now? Maybe it has to do with the order in which things are done. Try to experiment with whether it crashes or doesn't crash if:

1. You open Isadora, then Rokoko, then start streaming
2. You open Rokoko, then Isadora, then start streaming
3. You open Rokoko, start streaming, then open Isadora

To make clean tests, I'd do a restart between trying each of these.

Quick follow-up: I completely shutdown and restarted my Mac and restarted. No crashes.
