JavaScript can't help. But Pythoner could offer a solution I am sure.
I can also enter a feature request to extend the actor. Truthfully though that won't be a high priority item, although it might be pretty easy.
Try:
- Without Isadora open, unplug your Kinect
- Launch Isadorayour Isadora file
- Change the 'mode' input on the OpenNI Tracker actor to 'both'
- Save the file
- Quit Isadora
- Plug in the Kinect
- Launch Isadora and open the file
If it works, you'll be able to use both color and depth, so you won't need to change the mode input again.
Hi everyone!
I'm Jean, new to the community, so hopefully someone has already the answer for this. I've been trying the Kinect v2 on my Macbook Air M1 to play with the OpenNI actor, but had no luck trying the color mode. Depth mode is ok so far, but whenever I change it from depth to color mode, or from depth to both color and depth mode, Isadora crashes or freezes. I wonder if someone has had a similar experience and how has it been solved or managed.
Thanks for you attention and patience on this matter

Just to confirm, there is no way to pull the time from the scene time shown here at 0 sec?
Correct, this value is not programmatically accessible by actors.
The reason I wish for this is if I normally use MSC to take cues/scenes, but there is an internal piece that should take the same amount of time as the scene move, I would like for that value to be able to be programmed in.
There's also:
- Jump By Name (which is the basis for my MIDI Show Control template file that I use to make lighting consoles or QLab trigger jumps between Scenes, as well as cues internal to Scenes)
- Deactivate Scene (for use with the Activate Scene actor)
- Activate Scene Amount (usually best used with Envelope Generator, Ease In-Out, or Ease In-Out 2D actors)
Just to cover all the bases, here's this which shows all the options (and includes some User Actors of mine). --> FILE DOWNLOAD

Best wishes,

P.S. If you want to be able to set scene jump times across all your scenes globally, you can use Set/Get Global Values for that. My background scene activation User Actors on the bottom right there should be pretty helpful for this too.

SmartSuit Pro II
There are two flavors of Pro II. One is designed to be used with the Smart Gloves, and one isn't. Which flavor are you working with, and, if it's the gloves one, are you using the gloves or not?
This isn't really my wheelhouse, but is it possible to send 9 parameters on port 1 to your destination and then the remaining 6 channels to it on port 2?

@DusX any thoughts about the Javascript approach? Or maybe Pythoner can be used to send 15 parameters of Sys Ex messages?
