<![CDATA[Import video from Javascript or another actor]]>I'm wondering if it is possible to import a new media video in Isadora without doing it manually, using Javascript or another method. I'm working on Windows with Isadora v2\. Monitoring a folder and adding videos automatically could be a solution.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

I agree that this is not ideal currently, but it is workable.
If you run into trouble let me know and I will do my best to help.

I will try a similar approach. I don't like it to much, but I think is the only option in Windows. 

A nice feature would be the possibility to access some Isadora objects from JavaScript.

I have been able to swap videos by ensuring it is not currently in the scene, saving a new one with the same name, then loading the scene. The script could be triggered by osc, midi, etc.. if that's easier. Any other scripting language should be usable. I also then launch my project via a batch file so that both the script and isadora are opened. I hope that's a help.

Ooops I missed that, maybe @DusX knows something on Windows.

I need something like that, but I have Isadora installed on Windows, so AppleScript is not an option...:-(

Bests,
Juan
