Kinect on Mac
-
I still cannot connect Kinect v1 1473 with MacBook Pro 2021 13" M1 (Sequoia 15.5) and Isadora (4.0.9 in Rosetta mode). OpenNI Tracker (v0.9.8b6a).
The sensor lights red (connected to power source and via hub, because this Mac model doesn't have an internal standard USB port) Status output unit in OpenNI BETA actor says resolving uri. I tried to download the Kinect-test-macOS folder, found in the forum, but cannot run it because of security. I'll be very happy to hear a suggestion from you. -
@maria have you put the masquerade in the right place? This often catches people out.

Sometimes the order and configuration of things matters for finicky hardware like the Kinect, for example you can try:
- Launching Isadora then plugging in the Kinect
- Quitting Isadora, plugging in the Kinect, then launching Isadora
- Plugging in the Kinect, restarting the computer, then launching Isadora
- Not having the OpenNI Tracker actor in the very first Scene of your file so Isadora finishes all startup processes before you move into a Scene with the OpenNI Tracker actor.
- Trying with an unpowered hub (avoid putting anything else on the hub)
- Trying with a powered hub (avoid putting anything else on the hub)
- Trying with a USC-C converter instead of a hub (this is what I would personally recommend because it removes all the variables that come with using a hub)
You get the general idea, trying things in a different order or a different configuration sometimes has different results when it comes to hardware-specific issues.
