            Regarding building a plugin in Mac OS X, a PDF Read Me that is part of the SDK explains it. Please see this topic:

              I just want to ask if there is any updated version of this plugin for Mac, or has the above linked version proven to be solid?

                Does anybody if it's possible to work with a srt (subtitles) archive with any Isadora plugin?

                The point is that I want to project subtitles but synchronized with a timecode…

                  Essentially it is a text file, change the extension and it should work fine.

                    So, what about the time code. Do you think that can it be synchronized a video?

                      I guess so , read the time code, compare it to the incoming time code from the movie and display it if it is within the range, read the next code etc. There is a bunch of text parsing to do but I cant see a reason you cant get this going.

                        Ok, there is one problem, I had a quick go and you have to do a fair bit of work but the last step I cannot get around is that the timecodes come in as text not numbers. everything else is solvable but getting the time right. When I read the timecode from a standard .srt file you get this

                        00:02:17,575 --> 00:02:19,065

                        It is a tricky bit, I think using the text chopper you can then do the addition of the times as time code, I used the timecode comparator and you have to do some strange stuff but basically, in the timecode actor seconds are actually split into 256, so if you chop and parse each number from the line that has the time in and out and then work out the total time in seconds, multiply by 256 and then compare it with the current time...... kind of annoying to do. You may be better off trying to modify the above user actor to do it.

                          Personaly, I use a quicktime text movie, you can use belle-nuit subtitle software to translate .srt to quickTime text and then QuickTime 7 pro to obtain a QT movie. You can also write the QT text yourself, using text edit.

                          Played in Isadora, you can activate the text track and use text/draw actor to screen it.
                          If you need to slave it to entering timecode, as MTC, you can use MTC reader. If you need to slave to another movie, you can slave it via position
                          I send you a patch in Isadora (pre-release version), with subtitles in text and QT.
                          A little bit easier…
                          Hope that helps,

                            Have you tested the plugin on Windows 8 or 8.1?

                            I have a project that is using it that now crashes shortly after the text read.. (on all installed versions. inc, both the stable release and pre-release)
                            Strangely no error report is created, just a windows prompt that its crashed and windows will try to find a solution. 
                            So debugging is a little slow.

                                Yes, I just installed Windows 8.1 on VirtualBox, I'm also getting a crash. I don't have much time these days but I'll try to install VC++ and investigate about this.

                                  thats good to know..  I wasn't entirely sure it was the cause.

                                  If you get around to it I would be very grateful.

                                    After installing 1.5.3f25 (latest pre-release) on the W8.1 virtual PC, everything seems to be back to normal again.

                                    Could you please tell me if you still get a crash with this version?

                                      Yeah.. just did a quick test, and I still crash.. 
                                      I will try to create a simple version for testing.. to make sure (the patch I have thats using it is pretty complex)

                                        OK, spoke to soon... some fiddling.. and it works again.. I think it has to do with the init settings for the plugin. I didn't really change anything and its working, so I think that I simply saved a happy value into an input when I updated my user actor.

                                          OK, keep me updated if you manage to reproduce the bug.

                                          For what it's worth, I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to file encoding. Or even special characters in the input path.
