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.

With Isadora 4 you could use Python for this.

With Isadora 3 the only way I can think to do it the way you want to would be some kind of clunky setup with an Automator script to open the webpage, Watch Folders, and using Data Array to write things into a text file in the folder that Automator is watching to trigger different scripts. The tricky part is getting it working on a Touch TV to allow the viewer to scroll the webpage without being able to mess with Isadora.

If at all possible it'd be much easier to limit the viewer's ability to mess with Isadora by putting Isadora on a non-touchscreen display and the webpage on its own touchscreen display. That way you could use the touchscreen display as a Stage for Isadora and just show a blank black stage (or whatever else you wanted) before using the Show-Hide Stages actor to programmatically hide the Stage on the touchscreen display, revealing the webpage (which you'd have already have had open on that display ahead of time).

The other option I can think of is to pre-record the webpage with the process journal using OBS or Isadora's Screen Capture actor + Capture Stage to Disk actor so that you have a video file of the webpage scrolling at a rate you're happy with. It would no longer be interactive, but it would be easier and self-contained this way.

What’s the latest iOS I can use for this software ?

 The newest version of macOS that is officially supported for use with Isadora 4 is Sequoia. Tahoe may be fine, as we have not gotten reports of Isadora 4 not working on Tahoe, but officially it's not a supported OS for running Isadora 4 until we do further internal testing.

I am running Isadora 3.2.6 and want to set up a patch to display student work. The students have created short films which I want to play on one side of the screen and on the other side I would like the webpage open that show their process journal, detailing their process on the other side - but that the viewer can scroll through it on a touch tv. Is it possible that when I trigger a new scene the video plays on one side and I can send a signal to open a specific webpage on the other?

many thanks in advance

Yes, I want to experiment with background removal. Between my first post and now, I understood how to make both work, I simply had to user the Video mode instead of the LiveFeed. Now time to play with this mask and also curious what I can do with the facemesh!

Regarding the pose detection, I've been using it for 10 days and it's been really fun and productive. Thanks again for the material you provided!

Segmentation Mask

 What are you trying to achieve? Are you wanting a background removal from the Pose detection or something else?

Thank you for opening the door of MediaPipe for Isadora Users!

I have been trying to dig a bit deeper in MediaPipe to use things such as the Segmentation Mask (and if I get past being stuck here, maybe the Face Mesh)

 I have managed to create a Pythoner actor according to specifications , and I am able to go as far as printing the array of the Segmentation Masks to the console, but somehow Python seems to always crash anytime I try to go further with the code so I can't get to really output the result.

Should I open a different topic about this matter?

Kindly,

Jo
