@juriaan hello, sorry for the late reply :) 

so far, as long as I don't mess with the ports each display is connected to the pc

turning on every display before the pc,starting the computer,opening the izzy file 

helped with keeping the stage setup with right displays assigned for each stage. Turning on the computer first and then projectors messes up with the display order and hence the stage settings, however once I restart everything and follow the above 3 steps in the right order, things do go back to the way I want them to be.

@woland, yes, sure I will open a support ticket, thanks! but the ctrl+z trick works too. 

lastly, about the hap codec: right now we are working with mp4 files since Isadora seems to be working just fine. Hopefully things will continue running smoothly as the number of the videos increase, if not, I will look deeper into this, many thnx for the tips!

Great to hear!
And thanks for the update on the surround sound / multi-channel audio.

VLC should do it.

Best,

Shutterencoder

 Shutterencoder is great.
BUT, you should be able to play Hap Mov on PC without any issue.
I would suggest testing playback (should be the same as Hap Avi) before batch converting etc..

Hi All, 

I am a MAC user, so please pardon my negligence when it comes to windows playback. I am trying to wrap my head round rendering for Windows. I am trying to utilize HAP and HAPQ with Isadora on Windows 10, however, I am having an issue understanding how to render for Windows within MAC OS. I have read many forum regarding all sorts of ways to render on Windows with windows bases software, however, if there a software that will allow me to render, say HAP.avi on MAC OS?

I loaded Quicktime onto the windows computer, however, HAP.mov would not playback it only gave me static? I figured this was possibly due to the codec. 

Does anyone have some advice on rendering Hap for playback on windows os?

Thank you!

We relooked at the situation and after running through a number of factors it’s clear it isn’t the mapping but more likely a corrupt video file. Re-outputting that and will get back to you if it is still occurring. Thanks much

@cam3ld

Try hap in either a AVI or MOV wrapper.

[A ticket has been submitted and this is being handled there.]

@dusx

I was using Shutter Encoder for Windows and was having problems with the HapQ.mov files it was creating. After installing the DNxHD codecs from Avid earlier today, I  can now transcode DNxHR.mov to HapQ.mov using Adobe Media Encoder CS6. The files it creates run perfectly in version 2.6.1, so no more problem. Thank you for your suggestions.

regards
Don

Please guys, I hope someone give me solution for theses issues, because for me Isadora without properly working Movie Player is useless and I think I spend my money for nothing.

 Mark Coniglio creator of Isadora here. As Juriaan said, please create a support ticket at https://support.troikatronix.c.. and include as much information as you can about the movies: resolution, whether or not you enabled Snappy compression, etc. One of our team will get back to you. Do keep in mind that this week is the Isadora Werkstatt gathering in Berlin -- all of the team are hear and it's a busy time. It may take 48 hours for them to get back to you.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Dear DusX,

Thanks!

@jtsteph

Perfect.
Mark had explained to me why additional buffering may help, so its great to hear that its working for you.
I will do some testing in Isadora 3 with the same setup. I expect with some of the  improvements that have been made that performance will be even better.

SOLVED

I went on a long overdue uninstall binge and found the issue finally. 

LAV Filters - ffmpeg based DirectShow Splitter and Decode

Everything is working as it should now. I had the LAV filters installed for some ffmpeg work I was doing. I don;t think I need them for anything at the moment, but will flag this for the future.
