@woland No I don't think that will help as the ports pertain to what midi device you're connecting to. Inside the sysex actor is a script you have to write, then you insert perameter values using 'P1'  'P2' etc. There are workarounds where I trigger specific sys ex actors with some characters pre determined. 

It would be a great feature to be able to put way more parameters into these actors generally. Same with the text formatter actor

I thought it was ok, but the problem is back.
I tested the three options you listed, restarting my computer between each.
All three sequences resulted in immediate crashes. I set the crash reports for each.

Let me know next steps,

You might try changing the video Projector actor ‘blend’ input from ‘additive’ to ‘transparent’. You could also try changing the same Projector ‘layer’ input to a higher value than the base Projector layer.

For anyone coming to this for answers like I did, there is now a "Float to Integer" actor that will do this. And if you're using a timer, which actually outputs in millis, divide by 1000 to get seconds first.

@jean-didier

Try:

Without Isadora open, unplug your KinectLaunch Isadorayour Isadora fileChange the 'mode' input on the OpenNI Tracker actor to 'both'Save the fileQuit IsadoraPlug in the KinectLaunch Isadora and open the file

If it works, you'll be able to use both color and depth, so you won't need to change the mode input again.

Just to confirm, there is no way to pull the time from the scene time shown here at 0 sec?

 Correct, this value is not programmatically accessible by actors.

@tlaloc

Yes

@cacoos

It's a known cosmetic issue on newer versions of macOS with Isadora 4.1.3 and older.

This is fixed already for the release that's coming very soon.

In the meantime, you'll see that those areas are only blank when you do not have MIDI, OSC, Serial, or TCP/IP data going to or from Isadora. As soon as data is going in or out, the relevant section of the UI will update.

In its simplest form, you can do this to see what I mean:

Here's a slightly more complex example that demonstrates the same thing, but cycles through each of those four data types: DOWNLOAD

(NOTE: The MIDI won't work unless you use the settings shown in the screenshot for Communications > MIDI Setup > Port 1 > (Input and Output set to "Isadora Virtual Out")

@dusx Thanks guys.

I've used IOS Screen Mirroring to a Mac. There's an app called True Visage that hides all the phone's camera settings, just sends what the camera sees, which is handy.

Bumping this as a reminder to any Berlin-based Isadora users that this is tonight :)

ignore me - i found the solution - its the top half/bottom half active state thing. i'll make new images.

@jonesseitz

It's a mac thing, to do with privacy: it's the same green dot you see when making taking a selfie with your iPhone.
Here's one way to disable it. There may be others:

@skuven thanks. I will check it out. 🙌

Ok I try again:Does this work? 

No, the links didn't work. Is it a commercial app that you can give us the name of so we can look it up? If not, and you're trying to share a custom-made app with us, you'll probably need to upload it to Google Drive/Dropbox/something similar, then share the link to that with us here.

@gpeddino

Can you share the .mp4 with me? DM me with a file share link if you can, and I will convert to HAP and test. The file should stream, but yes, it will be very large.

@dusx said:

@Woland Your thoughts?

 Agreed

@gel_mystery

A trick I use is:

Create a Control Panel with a button that takes you to the next SceneMove the cursor over that button.Put tape over the optical sensor of a wireless mouse (now the cursor cannot move off of that button).Put the mouse in your pocket, on the floor, or take it apart and make a glove that completes the left-click circuit when you put your forefinger and thumb together.Now you can slap your pocket, step on the mouse, or close your fingers (with the glove idea) to trigger things.

Further advice:

Use a USB instead of a Bluetooth mouseUse a USB-over-cat5/6 extender to put the usb receiver for the mouse above the center of the stage (for larger stages) or just closer to the stage (if your computer is already backstage and the stage is small enough for it not to matter).TEST TEST TEST! Always bench test your setup as much as possible, then test more once you're in the actual venue.

@woland YUM! thanks for sharing the future!

@dusx Thanks, that really helped. It was in fact the opposite effect (to create a kind of negative fisheye process), but I tweaked the code you sent to do this.
