[ANSWERED] Receiving photos during performance

@Eva

If you use Isadora on both computer and both are on the same network.

Computer A to capture the pictures: 

- set the captured Media Folder to a folder on Computer B

- patch on computer A:

- create a virtual stage and set the projector and the Capture stage to Picture actors to this stage

Computer B:

use a script to load the content of the folder in Isadora. see Tutorial:https://support.troikatronix.c... and the script 641ffe-watch-isadoracore-mediabinload.scpt.zip  on the forum page https://community.troikatronix...

Sorry but just see that this AppleScript doesn't't work anymore with Izzy 3. and above. The script was/is still working with 2.6.1 or I am missing something.

We did do some updates in Isadora 3 for AppleScript last year. Headed into a meeting but you can check out the tutorial here: https://support.troikatronix.com/support/solutions/articles/13000093597-isadora-and-applescript

OK, I got a script to run as folder action:

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
try
tell application "Isadora USB Key"
import media to document 1 from these_items
end tell
on error msg
display dialog "Error importing file into Isadora: " & msg
end try
end adding folder items to

thanks

@jfg I have an installation running on a windows machine and isadora3 and need this kind of folder action - is there any solution to do this on a windows pc?

@bodo

Sorry but I have no idea of Windows Software. I only know there is no equivalent to AppleScript(see the tutorial link from @Woland). I think the @Woland solution above will be the best for you.

The Pythoner actor we have in beta could likely handle this. If you’re not part of the beta program already, send in a ticket and I’ll add you to it.

 100% there is a Python solution (an example script is included in the examples file).

Just to further confirm @Dusx about the example bundled with the beta Pythoner module currently being tested. I have successfully displayed to the Isadora Stage images from the following cloud storage services, as long as they are set to have a local or offline iteration on the host computer: Onedrive, iCloud, Dropbox. For example, this allows a series of pictures captured and uploaded by a mobile phone to be sent to an Isadora stage within a few seconds.

Best Wishes,
