      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!

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

          Bests,

              What I have been doing in similar situations is to have a running python script that listens for a tcp-ip call and preforms an action. 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.

                Thanks @DusX. 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.
