@dusx With the videos all the settings are default I'm just enabling looping and turning the sound down to nothing.  I'm not sure offhand what Isadora subversion I'm using but I'll check when I'm at work tomorrow and upgrade if necessary and if it happens again I'll let you know.

@eamon and All,

So I worked with Eamon today via Team Viewer to address his issue and we got everything working. Mostly, the issue seemed be related to the fact he had scaled the two 4K displays (LG Televisions actually) to 50% using the Displays System Preference. (Eamon's instinct here was a good one: I don't have 4K content, so let's save some bandwidth.)

But, there were several other anomy'salies that were in macOS itself, e.g., the System Profiler reported the resolution of one of the displays to be 7680 x 4320, even that would be an 8K display not a 4K one; this finding was especially strange since two two displays were exactly the same make and model, and certainly do not offer an 8K resolution.

Our action item will be to double-check that using the scaling to something other than 100% will cause Isadora to do something wrong. But right now, I do not feel this is some widespread issue that others will face, especially Ince most users would not

Thanks to Eamon for getting me access to his machine and for standing by as I went through this process remotely.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Please open a support ticket. One of us will work with you to determine why 3.0.7 works for your and not the latest release.

Thanks. I'm at Izzy 3.0.7

I also found that my problem wasn't needing preloading. I just needed to Initialize the Play Start for my video so it wouldn't have the black at the front end. I thought it was a loading problem. It wasn't. And thanks for sending me the link to the other info. I hadn't run across it before and it's very helpful.

Hi @Eva

Attached below is a screenshot featuring my issue. As you can see, my zoom window features a warped video feed. Reboots of all systems haven't resulted in a fix.

Fixed in v0.9.5 - Download

@dbengali

Thanks for the bug report. This bug was in 2.6.1 as well... I guess no one encountered it before. I've fixed it in v3 and the fix will appear with the next point release (3.0.2) which is coming shortly.

Please submit a ticket so we can get this logged in our database.

Good find!

@knowtheatre

Did you already submit a bug report for this already?

We'd like to nail down the cause and fix it.

Best wishes,

Woland

I'm trying to play a video in a really simple patch (Movie player --> projector) in 2.6.1, and it won't play.

To be able to help you we need further information:

1) You say that you've tried several codecs, but can you please give us a list or at least tell us one of the codecs that won't play?

2) Similarly, can you give tell us the typical resolution of the clips you've tried? 1920x1080? Or?

3) I assume you're running Isadora in fully enabled mode (i.e., not in demo mode). Is that correct? Are you running the USB key version? If so, is your USB key inserted into the computer?

i seem to have noticed that occasional <SPACE> characters that remain attached to a variable name after dbl-click select and copy, when pasted into the preprocessor code // ISADORA_FLOAT_PARAM(name, id, min, max, default, "help text"); do create the corresponding inputs , but they do not react unless you cancel the <SPACE> character in the preprocessor statement. 

took me an hour to figure, one night. 

the GLSL editor is kind of tricky, but i attribute this mainly to my italian keyboard. the character '[' freezes the editor until i re-compile.

the find and replace is not working as it should. 

this on Win 10 with 2.60 

wish to have more time for the forum. 

cheers
