Since I never make use of all of them at once, I want to find a solution to automatically deactivate those players who do not contain picture content to save resources. I tried to make use of a comparator_actor (if loaded picture = 0, turn off visibility of the player), but this actor only reacts, if receiving a change. In my setup, changes to the loaded pictures are not being made. What I needed was a comparator_actor that frequently updates, or a different solution. Any suggestions? THANK YOU :)</p>]]></description><link>https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/3448/automatic-deactivation-of-unused-picture-players</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 08:08:17 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/3448.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sun, 20 Aug 2017 12:11:16 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Automatic deactivation of unused picture players on Sun, 20 Aug 2017 21:43:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="https://community.troikatronix.com/uid/2288">@Salimelo</a></p>
<p>You could try using the actors that have the option to  ignore their connected processes when a 'gated' parameter is enabled. These are the'Selector' and 'Router' actors. The Isadora manual explains these in more detail.</p>
