Try this _ I had made the mistake of having the file open while uploading

I have uploaded the file through file- upload, it uploads and shows the link. How else can I send the file?

hello,

I am recording a stage like usual, but now all that shows is a black recording nothing visual. It fits with the size of my stage(4 projectors) but nothing shows, only black video. Can someone help? 

I tried recording in e.g. q4 and q5

All the best Eva

The file has a number of User Actors, from your description I am not sure which one is the root of the failure. 

1. does this user actor allow you to select a file on your hardrive?
2. does the filepath get inserted to the next user actors 'cube_path' input?

DX - PY - Load .Cube for Color Grading :

1. does the 'status' output change if you click the 'load' input trigger
2. if you open this user actor to look inside, do you see a red Hazard symbol on the Pythoner actor?
3. is the status output = "status: ❌ LUT file not found"

I suspect you will see the red hazard on the pythoner actor once you look inside the "status: ❌ LUT file not found" actor. 
Like this: 

If you do, then the Python environment is not setup correctly. Scene one requires Numpy be installed, and scene 2 requires Numpy and OpenCV.

If you go to Help/Open Plugin folder in the menu, and read the last line on that menu you should see 'Python Virtual Environment' ... 
What does the rest of that line say?

note: The asci error might have been due to unexpected characters in a file name/path. 

Hello. 
I am trying this patch, but can't get past the file browse step. 

I have the Python environment is set up and active.. But I cannot load a cube file. My browser lets me select a file, but the actor says, "No file selected." And once, and I cannot tell exactly how and why, I had an ASCII error as follows: Error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 197: ordinal not in range(128).

I tried a multitude of LUT files, all with the .cube extension, but no success.

What am I missing out? 

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hi Russell, I'm good, thanks. super busy with Oulu being European Capital of Culture this year, but surviving.
Thanks for loads of useful information. I've been using optical HDMI on the road for a few years and its great. More sturdy than I expected. The lighter weight seems to help to keep stress off the plugs.
I decided not to go for the 2012 MacPro - with that particular graphics card there's no hardware sync lock between the outputs, so no guarantee that all 4 quadrants would be running accurately. No budget for a M5 Max, so I've ordered a used M2 Mac Mini for the playback into the Saeda. Cable runs are short, so no worries there - all HDMI cables can be the same length.

The projectors arrived yesterday and, at first test, the image is super sharp. and they don't get hot. The only obvious design flaw is that the mounting points underneath look a bit flimsy, and are strangely distributed - I will probably build some mounting brackets out of ply and leave them bolted to the projectors.

So it looks like this is the first video installation project I've made in the last 18 years that doesn't use Isadora at all!
