How to dynamically load media files (videos/photos)
-
Hi
I am trying to understand how to dynamically load files into Isadora. I have two folders, one with videos the other with images, which I need to load into Isadora to randomly play (with some processing on the way..). These folders are not static, but created "on the fly", files copied via Dropbox/GDrive/USB-stick *while* the isadora program is running unattended.
Is there a way to dynamically load file lists ? "listen" on a folder for changes, or periodically re-scan a folder (every minute or so).
Thanks for you help!

@fitussi look at the data array actor
And see this article https://support.troikatronix.c...

The data array, and javascript don't allow this.
Michels' comment about apple script is probably the best option.

Thanks for the reply.
Seems like JS can't do it directly. no way to list files in a folder, or load into movie slot.
Applescript is not an option, as we're running this installation on Windows machine (because of the projection specs).
Any other idea ?
Thanks.
