I can repro the crashes reliably if I link two computers above by having them connected to a hot spot on my iphone.

 Aha! We were sitting in the tech meeting today trying to figure out "How do we create a spotty NDI connection on purpose so we can test this?". Thanks for the insight 🙂

Updating to Windows 10 solved the problem.

Thanks

@bonemap

This is a feature that I also would like to see and that I am bringing up in meetings all the time 🙂

@dusx and @bonemap 

Thank you for your help! I got it working 🙂 

It was a few things - wasn't properly attaching the texture in 3ds and I think it was also an issue I was running into with MetaScan.
I used Qlone and I am going to test out Cheetah3D as well.

Thanks!!

just did a install of gphoto2 (on OSX)

 Right, I was investigating on Windows, and the install of gphoto2 is a lot messier on Windows 😕

The impression I got from OP @HectorCruz was that they wanted to use Isadora to generate video, not playback. The things that seem impossible or difficult to achieve over multiple machines and get continuity would be in this realm - not video playback (which is just standard annoying without an existing actor/director or boy grouping system. 

 Ohh I didn't get that. Sorry. @HectorCruz"

Please see my feature request from seven (!) years ago 🙂

 Yes, also one we already have logged 🙂

Is Quartz still available?

It's still available but they're not ours (we just pull them in from the existing Apple architecture) and thus we can't do much about how they function which means that none of them have help text for the actors or inputs/outputs (so it's hard to learn or remember what many of them do) and they can be inherently inefficient and, in some cases, unstable. As far as I can tell, it's also quite uncommon to find people developing their on QC plugins, which used to be much more common.

@dillthekraut Yes I used kinects in both ways (frontal to get the skeleton) and on top (to get clean zenithal tracking) so I don't need visible light cutoff filter in front ofthe camera (kinect has one) and I don't need to put infrared light and therefore I don't need background subtraction.

Depth cameras still rock

Years ago before the creation of PJlink actor, I did the projector control with TCPIP actors.  Do I need to go back to that previous means of projector control?

 This method should still works as it always has. 

We are looking into the network conflict reported by users using the PJlink actor. 

@mark_m said:

why are .mp3 files treated as a movies and not as sound files?

 I believe this came about because QuickTime offered this back in the day, and it worked in the Movie Player via QuickTime, where the SoundPlayer was not using QuickTime. It was later added to the MoviePlayer to allow backwards compatibility as QuickTime was removed from Isadora. We have a roadmap item to allow MP3 playback via the Soundplayer as part of the many sound enhancements we have planned.

@woland

sAcn + Isadora 

YES PLEASE

@woland Creative as always. Thanks

</blockquote> <p> My impression, right or wrong, was that the OP had never used Isadora and had just lighted on this forum in their quest for knowledge. It was their first (and only!) post and never mentioned Isadora at all...</p><p></p>

 Yes indeed, but they were asking for suggestions and that is my suggestion!

Cheers,

I've tried the on screen keyboard, and it still (mis)behaves same as my hardware keyboard

 OK, that is unusual. I can't imagine what's going on here. The onscreen keyboard is the only way I can think to natively enter these keys on my test machine.

I will have to think about what I can do to better emulate your configuration.

@juriaan I'll have to gather some more specific info/instances from my students about what is happening but freezing/lagging is happening with both Isadora and other programs (Final Cut Pro X). I was thinking it was the graphics card that was the issue but perhaps I'm on the wrong track. They have no outputs and for my class specifically it doesn't matter too much if the resolution is 4k or much less, still having slowness issues on FCPX and Isadora (the two programs we use the most). 

I had our tech person take one of the computers to do some diagnostics see if got a couple bad apples. We are in between tech help right now so also might be potentially some of the software on it? We are a university student focused lab so lots of constraints. Have you seen performance issues on the M1? Are the M2 minis more reliable? They are mostly learning to program on these computers and then take the work into our multi-media, multi-disciplinary space or theatre later. 

@dusx

Tried both of those 

Windows has all updates

Updated Graphics Drivers

Did both DISM & SFC 

Same Error Persists

Submitted Ticket

I would build a simple scale model and go from there....
