The goal of this set of actors it to help developers collect and package complex project files with a range of linked files.
So, this User actor doesn't collect your media. Nothing listed in the media bins will be collected, doing that can be done via: TROIKATRONIX : ISADORA - DX – PY – Collect_Media
This actor, searches the binary of your Isadora file to find linked files that are harder to see/find. For example the data file for the data array actor will be listed.
Current file types it will find: ".izz", ".txt", ".py", ".srt", ".oni", ".json", ".csv", ".xml", ".js" [I just fixed a bufg with .js files, so that isn't in the user actor yet.]
If you link other file types let me know. Right now this looks inside javascript for read() and include() calls, and will 'find' those files if they are not dynamically created [eg, this fails : read(basePath + "file.txt") ]. It does NOT attempt to find linked files within Pythoner code. The options Python offers here is far to broad.
Currently the JSON and Report, only provide the Scene name that each file is used/located in. I would like to extend this later with a breadcrumb path to help navigate into user actors if the file path is internal, as well as, adding the Q# alongside the Scene Name.

Why do you have to copy the addresses you have obtained back into the inbox?

 This was simply to make it clear what is being done. I am happy to change this later. Really there are 2 primary actors inside. By making you copy the path, you have more control over running each on 1, another file (doesn't need to be the active Isadora file), 2 re-running either function independently.. but I am not married to the approach.

No problem :)

Hi Everyone, 

If you live in Quebec City consider joining us (Myself and Hugh Conacher) for our shows at Mois Multi - Festival international d’arts multidisciplinaires et électroniques!

February 12 and 13th:  https://moismulti.org/programm...

Here is the trailer:

We will be in Montreal afterwards from Feb 14th to 21st if there are any Isadora related events of performance with tech folks who would like to connect - reach out!

Best, 

Frea

You need the absolute value to switch between 0 and 1. Without it will switch between -2/+2

 You can also go into the property inspector and change the min and max of the 'speed' input from -2 to 2 > 0 to 1. Then you can connect a Toggle to it directly.

Additionally, taking a look at the timing logic from this example file of mine might be helpful for understanding more about how to do this kind of thing: https://troikatronix.com/add-ons/random-media-random-duration/

Any news on this issue from your side?

@jtsteph

There’s more audio capabilities coming with the next release. You’re already in the beta program so you should have access to the new beta and new audio actors. Have you tried working with any of those?

In particular, the new Audio Frequency Bands, Audio Frequency Watcher, and Audio Level Watcher let you do live audio frequency and level analysis without needing to go through the Live Capture system (and thus lets you use as many virtual audio sources and/or mics as you want).

P.S. Anyone else reading this who’s interested in trying out the beta with the new audio actors (which also adds VST3 audio plugin support, a Audio to Text actor, and more) can send in a ticket using the link in my signature below.

Hi Ryan, I've not used Get Media Index, I think the combination of those 2 and a bit of maths might do what I need.... thanks

@eva

The file doesn't seem to have attached properly. Could you try again?

@woland

Ok thank you very much

I somehow madd a work around but I will try and go back. Im sorry I was in the middle of production.

Thank you so much so far!

All the best

Eva

@dcmp

I would be happy to put something together for you. Please just try to describe what You are trying to accomplish clearly so I can put this together in a useful way for you.
Is there a specific part of the video you want to control the lights? What is the light effect you are trying to get?

I got in touch with the lovely folks at Rokoko, and they've now added a tutorial to their website on how to connect Rokoko Studio Live with Isadora: https://support.rokoko.com/hc/en-us/articles/42904491647889-Livestream-to-Isadora

TextEdit has the possibility to set the background to dark, then set the text color to white, and you can also speak the text if you want.

I have added a "contrast adjust" actor because the TextEditor background appears not totally black in Isadora. 

if you can work with a second monitor for TextEditor it is very confortable

Hi Wholand, 

Ah thanks, I will try that:)
Have a great dayEva

There is also another problem with the IP address in Isadora preferences. If you use a VPN, you get the VPN Tunnel address ( e.g. 10.2.0.2) but not the real IP address you can see in system preferences (192.168......or something like that). For Touch OSC and co you need the 192. 168..... address. It would be fine if it was possible to see both. (By the way, it is the same problem with the Apple Shortcuts app. It shows also only the VPN and the external address but not the real address in the local network. Not really a problem; then you can find the correct address in the system preferences, but it would be nicer to have it in Isadora.

Best regards, 

Jean-François 

Just to add.

I feel the post is just talking about the SDK, the development tools. Not the end user, or the finished product. Just my interpretation anyway. 

Thanks I’ll take a look.

@bonemap

We also had an existing feature request to this so I've now added my post here to that.
