Hello Everyone

Is there any possibility to display IP Cameras (such as http://67.53.203.146:8084/#vie...) as a Video in Isadora? 

Just for anyone who is interested: 

http://www.insecam.org/ there are IP Cams from all over the world...

Best wishes

Hello

I just built a patch for my MIDI controller (including a learn function) for the umpteenth time. Part of the fun of preparing for a gig.

What I really miss is a "learn" trigger input on the control and note watchers, that gives you a second (or two) to touch the actuator on the midi controller.

The actor would then pick up port, channel and pitch/cc from the touched actuator. 

Cheers

Hello Isadorables!

Am in residence this coming week at V2 in Rotterdam, and I need a 15m powered USB extension cable.
Anyone know where I might be able to buy one in Rotterdam without having to resort to Amazon?

Also, any recommendations for make / model / technology?

Also if anyone wants to come along on Friday:

Thanks!

Is anyone still using Syphoner? 

I used Syphoner and NDI at the same time for my last project, “ Horror Show,” in May 2023. It works fine at that time. 

And this month, I need to perform with the piece again, but I can’t open the Syphoner anymore. I am not a GitHub person, so I don’t know how to deal with the issue. 

Does anyone have experience recently? Could you still open it? 

I have tied it with three different versions of Mac, including M1 and Intel. They all failed.

Thank you so much 

I'm attempting to output DMX data trough Enttec's OpenDMX dongle using the Enttec DMX plugin. It seems that information is reaching the serial port, but for some reason the lights stay off.

I reconfigured the serial to try another ports, with another bit rates, with not much better result. When I set the serial port to 9600 bps, the whole system started lagging. So far, setting the serial port to 57600 bps avoids the problem.

I tried with a generic dongle and the problem persists.

I also edited the DMX pluggin so it doesn't send constant information but at a slowed pace. No result.

I plugged a moving light and I appreciated that both servos and dimmer seemed to be getting a zero value (instead of starting the idle manouver, the lights stay silent).

Please, may you help me? It am running out of ideas 

Thanks!

UPDATED

Hi there,

just a warning for those on W10.

On my machine I've got two partitions one that is updated regularly and the other one only gets updates after a while of not detecting any trouble.

So as the title says, after the latest update some videos did not play anymore. There's was no error, they just won't play or freeze at the first frame. These are all mp4 H264 videos. On the not updated partition everything was still working fine, therfore I assumed the cause was the recent update. Since the issue persisted even after rebooting.

This is the W10 version where I detected the issue:

• Windows 10 Pro.
• Version. 22H2 
• OS Build 19045.3448

I've just checked the codecs and could find no consistent difference between movies playing and those that were not.

This morning I've tried again and all videos play fine again, also in the updated partition. So maybe it was not the W10 update as I thought. The difference to now being a FOCUSRITE and a BM Intensity Shuttle were connected yesterday. However, when booting up in the not updated partition, wothout changing anything else the videos worked fine inspite of not working in the updated partition.

I guess sometimes weird things just happen.

Cheers,

Gaspar

Hello!

I'm blending two projectors and, in trying to get the blend to align well, I was hoping to add a vertex or two in the stage setup blend geometry (essentially really need a point in the center of one of the side edges of one of the sides, at a minimum).

It seems like it's not possible to add vertices. I know one can go inside a projector actor/outside of Stage Setup and do a custom geometry there, but I'm trying to avoid doing it in a projector actor - and to instead have it applied globally.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Here's probably an easy one, but I haven't been able to figure it out anywhere. Once you have connected a trigger to a control panel button/slider/dial/etc, how can you undo it without simply deleting the actor and resetting?

Hello folks,

I'm trying to add a bit of wibble, a touch of wobble, a slight organic-ness to a 3D line animation.

I find the lines that are generated in Izzy are a bit, erm, straight. 

I've tried to add Gaussian Blur and Threshold, which works for more organic shapes, but doesn't do much with straight lines. I used to use Displace with a random cloud bump map, but that's only cpu, and the patch I'm running is pretty heavy, so I would prefer to keep it gpu.

Does anyone know of a nice effect, maybe a GLSL shader, that will distort the image slightly? 

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest a way of smoothing a variable only when it is counting down, not up? ie I want the output to follow the input variable in real time only if the last value is less than the current value; however, if the last value is less than the current I want the output to fall back down slowly and smoothly. You could view this another way as being reactive to impulses but with a long decay.

thanks,

Nic
