#79 Glitches in GLMixer

[Alberto Garbino]

Hi Bruno,

I'd like to submit three issues I have:

1) When Rewind on stop is selected in a movie source and the source is moved outside the outer circle, the movie stops correctly and rewinds. When the source is moved again inside the outer circle, a frame from the last playing position is briefly sent to the output before the movie plays correctly from start. This happens at least with the MP4 sources I'm using, and it's very noticeable when using very short transitions to Alpha 1.

2) I'm writing a Pure Data patch to build a complex control of various parameters and sources in GLMixer using a MIDI keyboard. I'm having troubles with the ChromaKey parameter: the ChromaKey checkbox isn't selected (or deselected) when I send sendtyped /glmixer/current/ChromaKey T (or F), but works perfectly with /glmixer/current/Pixelated T (or F). The OSC window shows the ChromaKey command as executed, but it seems it is ignored.

3) I can't find a donation page, could you point me in the right direction? I'm sorry if I missed something.

This job of yours is wonderful, Bruno. I'm planning to use it for some live sets next year. My most sincere congratulations for such a well crafted software aimed at video artists.

Kindest Regards,
Alberto Garbino

Thank you for your answer Bruno, it is very much appreciated.

On a curious side note, I may be late for the donation deadline but I guess a few more bucks sent now won't hurt anyway. Besides that, it's nice to know that I'll probably be able to see that particular show in Trieste, which is only 40 miles from my hometown. On top of that, December 12th is my birthday too...

Coincidences, I say, but that's rather odd.

So if you can, we could meet there as I will be on Dec 12 in Trieste for the concert !

Nice to know that! I already spoke with my girlfriend and we will be there to attend the concert. See you in Trieste. If you have any particular needs and I can manage to help, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the bugs reports. Wrong behavior could be reproduced and fixed in commit r1824

1) Rewind on stop : Fixed : expected stop behavior when leaving outbound circle
2) ChromaKey parameters : Fixed : all GUI and OSC corresponding correctly to properties of ChromaKey (on/off, color and tolerance

(soon in a binary release)

[Alberto Garbino]

I tested commit r1829, Windows version, and everything is working as it should. Thank you for your time and patience.

Hello, Alberto! I use GLMixer in theater and as You want to control GLMixer via some MIDI-controller like AKAI LPD8. But I don't know how to set it up in Linux. Can You, please, share Your experience when You finish?

[Bruno Herbelin]

All done :)
