Thanks.  I think I found the problem.  I was converting a number to hex before inputing it to the text formatter expecting it to format the hex number.  Instead I should be using the formatter actor to both convert to hex and format it.  I was confused by the help note below that says "P1:nX - print n hexidecimal digits" - not mentioning that it also converts numbers to hex.

Thanks for your help!

@DillTheKraut Is correct.

Does that mean that if a scene has a heavy load that I'm not in any great danger of crashes, if I haven't experienced that yet?

High load does not mean you're in more danger of crashes, it just means that what you're asking your computer and Isadora to do is a lot.

when i enabled a specific audio device to a specific channel, it does not show up as selectable on any of the other channels, whether it's enabled or disabled... which now makes complete sense

 You have no idea how many times I've also done this 😅

I wanted to use it to simplify the mapping process

You can do the inverse of what I suggested with the Video In Watcher and instead send all of your video content to a background Scene with one instance of your mapping: https://community.troikatronix.com/topic/5495/global-projection-mapping-simple-show-template?_=1687767043160

@hamilton

Possible workaround for you: 

Honestly, if I got to 99 Snapshots in a Scene, I'd just duplicate the Scene, clear all Snapshots, and start from Snapshot 1 again. If you're baking the number of the snapshot into a video file you're capturing, you can easily use the Get Scene Name actor with a Text Formatter actor to add the Scene name and the Snapshot number to the video title.

Wow I can't believe I didn't think to change the bitrate in my formatting, thank you for this suggestion! I'm converting it now and then hopefully I can have a go at changing the parameters I wish to change. I might be back to ask some more bits regarding when it comes to parameters to change but this is a great help and thank you again so much.

@woland Thank you!

 I did manage today to send OSC from my Android phone to both my iPad and my MacBook (and Isadora). Only I don't seem to get OSC out of my iPad. So the problem seems somehow to reside there..

Your description seems to differ a little from what I'm seeing here..

Thanks for the info on the blackMagic. I wanted to say the same problem is on Matrox TH2G and USB-C to HDMI.

@alice

What a clever solution! Nice job 🙂

Mark… In that this seems to be a very regularly requested option for Izzy, is there anyway that for future updates, this could be a regular part of the media player to have time as one of the output selections?

I use this very regularly with my work, and this would be a great update inclusion.

I have the same problem as @craigalfredson. If my MacBookPro M1 is between the two external screen, it works well. If I put the two external screen together on the right or on the left side of the MacBookPro I get in fullscreen mode the picture only on the first screen. 

The first screen is connected with an adaptor. The second screen direct with the HDMI output of the computer.

Best

@semmeth

Open a support ticket and one of us will get into this with you.

However, a great first step is to see if there is an updated video driver available for your GPU (often an update is needed after a windows update)

@woland Ah thanks both - range makes sense! Constraining the output range on the Program Change Watcher fixes it, as does your suggestion of an Absolute Value actor in between.

Thank you! Bug in my head, in this case 🙂

@dusx I did now, 

thanks for your support in this 

i just discovered that 'nan' generally means 'Not a Number'

I've been having repeted issues with Isadora not being able to play a footage all the way to position 100. Do you have any idea why this might be?

 Unfortunately I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts under the hood of the playback engine to give you an answer about this.

I really appreciate the perspective for longer form media

It's not just for longer form media though. If I had your six-frame video and I wanted to loop it for 5 minutes, I'd make a 10-minute long movie file in editing software that's just those six frames over and over. If you never get to the end of the file because you make the file longer than the duration for which you need it to loop, you don't need to worry about anything to do with seamless looping nor what happens at the very end of the video file.

@elena

Lol, we just edit the title of the post to add “[SOLVED]” at the beginning.

I’ve done this for you. Have a lovely day 🙂

Damn - just changed all commas to points and it works.

 I'll file this as a potential bug.

Glad it's working for you now.

@autmist

I sent you a message on the forum messaging system asking a question. Depending on what your answer is, I may be able to get your students up and running again right away.

@reservoirducks

I just had a similar problem last week while trying to send NDI and OSC to and from a powerful Windows show computer that belongs to a university that has very strict network and computer security protocols. I never did figure out what setting on their computer was preventing it, but when I hooked up two non-university computers to a network switch I was able to send NDI and OSC back and forth without issue. I suspect it was a firewall problem, but nobody around had sufficient security credentials to do anything to the firewall's policies regarding Isadora on the university computer. So maybe check your firewall settings on both computers? Also, as a test, I'd hook up a third computer to your network switch and see if it can send and receive NDI to and from your original two computers. This test might help you identify which one of them is the problem.
