Hi Woland,
I’m working with the existing Isadora patch for an interactive video booth. Right now, a MIDI button triggers a random pre-recorded question video, and then the participant records an answer.

I’ve been asked to expand the system, and I’m wondering if this is possible:
Can I add a new option that lets participants record their own question video, and have that video automatically added to the pool of question videos used for random playback?

I’m a bit unsure about the cleanest way to integrate this. If anyone has suggestions about the best approach (e.g., duplicating the current recording chain, adding a new folder to the randomizer, or recommended actors), I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks so much!

do you think AI would be up to writing the necessary script?

 Yes, I don't think it should have much trouble with that.

Has anyone else had trouble with loops on their PC? My loops seem to work in Isadora on my Mac, but when transferred to Isadora on PC, there is a jump in the loop. I have exported it as a h.264 .mp4. Help?

@woland Thanks. Kind of had a feeling this might have been the answer. 

I think I will upgrade anyway to Izzy 4. My Python is limited to some very basic commands, do you think AI would be up to writing the necessary script?

Since I've had other issues with my focusrite (sudden crackling after some random time... this was on Ableton, not Isadora) and @Fred stated more or less that "the only really trustable interfaces were those from RME", after watching and reading lots of reviews I finally went for RME. They seem to be very praised for audio quality and driver stability. I don't really like the lack of direct buttons or sliders on the unit, but the rest looks really good. I'll be using it with an external MIDI controller such as my NanoKontrol2, mainly because I want to be able to adjust gains "on the run" and want to do this with a physical interface.
I should get it in the next days and will report back.

Yes, Ryan is our Windows specialist. As he said, the solution thus far for people has been to install older AMD drivers. The reason we can't tell you exactly which ones to use is because whenever people have had this issue they find the correct driver and then go back to working on their projects. (Meaning they don't tell us what drivers don't work and therefore we unfortunately don't have that information to provide to other users experiencing the same issue.)

If you'd work with Ryan in the ticket to figure out what drivers solve the problem for you, that would be very much appreciated.

You can talk to him about what version of the Adrenaline driver you're already using and what other versions are possible to try.

Support response :

Dear Benoit,

Sorry you are having this problem. This remains a known issue that we hope to address. Currently we do not know the cause of the issue, and can only report that some users have had success installing older AMD drivers to solve the issue.

It is not a matter of reverting to a opengl 2 driver, rather it is that something is wrong with how the driver is reporting the supported openGL version/s. As suggested, a driver like Adrenalin 24.3.1 will offer modern OpenGL capabilities without the communications bug.

thank-you for supplying your graphics card model. This will be helpful in allowing us to fix this issue.

Best regards,

Ryan Webber

You can probably find something useful in this Add-On of mine: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/

HI JIm

I use the following user actor and it works great for me.

It is handy for looping a bank of images without having to exit into another scene.

I use this quite a lot and it is very simple to drop into a scene.

Please see a link to the slide show user actor on the adds on page, HERE.

I think this is what you are looking for....?

Hope this helps.

Ive created the following patch to; play a bunch of pictures in sequence cross fading between them. 

But my spidie senses tell me there must be a much simpler way of going about it. Any thoughts? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.

Edit: I've looked around the plugins page and the forum but can't seem to find anything except for Fades between scenes.
