Here's a release updated with NDI SDK 5.0.3 https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI/releases/tag/v1.016 I have tested briefly and couldn't find any problems. As for HX drivers, they are installed with the Tools installation. For testing, the NDI download page refers to "NDI Screen Capture HX"...

No problems at all. I suspect that the trouble could be because the module was made with an early build of NDI 5. If I get time I will build again with whatever release there is right now. I can't test with the camera app or the HX driver though.

It seems that you have it working, so that's a good thing. Maybe it could be best to stay with what works, but since you mention Version 1013b I should say that the latest release (1015) - https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI/releases/tag/v1.015 - is updated for NDI 5. There is an instruction to cop...

Thanks for the information in all these replies. chabuku, thanks for confirming Magic>OBS. I can't see why right now but will look into possibilities. Have a good holiday.. Eric, yes I am certain that this is an AMD driver issue confirmed by observations by others. We have assumed that it's a fault ...

Terry, the first question I would ask is "Is this a laptop"? If so, there is the Optimus Intel/Nvidia complication. It could be related to the current problem if you notice the same sort of thing in OBS. I can see that multiple output modules could be useful. I can't guarantee to support i...

Here is an update and re-build of the Magic Spout sender plugin. Can you receive into OBS from the plugin output, or do you get the same glitch effect? For the colour adjustments you mention, try inserting the modules before the sender plugin. I tested it this way and the ISF modules work OK. I am l...

You have confirmed a problem with your AMD graphics for Spout with OpenGL. We assume it is a driver issue with the NVIDIA GL/DX interop, but I don't have a faulting system to confirm this or set up any tests. That MMV Spout sender plugin you are using is an old one before Magic had Spout output. I c...

The graphics corruption appears to be a problem with the AMD driver and the NVIDIA OpenGL/DirectX extension. This experimental link program receives and sends the result out again. It was made to solve a format issue with DirectX 9, but it might might work for you because it does not use OpenGL. Let...

Thanks Eric. I mis-understood that glClose was meant to clean things up before the module closed. Anyway I have it sorted now, and make sure that things are re-created. Also I discovered that the sender combo box was not refreshed when the second instance was created because there was no network cha...

OK, thanks for that. But I found reversed RGBA/BGRA for some reason, so I changed it pending investigation of NDI versions. What I will do is change it back to what it was to start with and edit the release rather than doing another one. Stand by and I will advise I still don't know what is happenin...

Here is an update :

https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI/re ... tag/v1.013

Please let me know here for either success or problems.

Details - refer to the source.

Hello to all. after I discovered this post, I tested things and found that I could reproduce the crash. I traced the problem to "glClose" which the plugin gets when you change scenes. Here things were released but values were not set to zero, so they were never re-created and hence the cra...

No problems Eric. Hopefully they are OK. I haven't changed anything but the MDK header file and it built straight away. If there is anything else that needs changing then just let me know.

I noticed mention about the NDI modules needing an update, so made a quick rebuild using the Magic MDK Version 2.3 and they seem to work fine.

https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI/re ... tag/v1.012

If you need to use these modules, give them a try and let me know if there are any problems.

But I forgot - this might help you :

FYI. Code and binaries for the NDI modules for Windows are now on GitHub (https://github.com/leadedge/MagicNDI). I will be removing them from SpoutToNDI.

Eric has listed them on the resources page (https://magicmusicvisuals.com/resources).

I can't help with the Mac I am afraid.

Quick rebuild for the latest NDI Version 3.8. Same download file name. As before, use the NDI dll provided with the distribution.

Thanks to the methodical testing by ToxMox, I am pretty sure that I have found the problem in the receiver module. Magic uses an OpenGL framebuffer which needs to be checked for the sender or there is nothing to send. The same check was included for the receiver, although the framebuffer is not used...

Spout To NDI Magic modules have been updated for Magic 2.2.
Modules for previous versions of Magic are also included in the distribution zip file.

Hello Magic people. The latest update of "Spout to NDI" for NDI Version 3.7 (http://spout.zeal.co/forums/topic/spout-to-ndi-updated-for-ndi-3-7/) includes sender and receiver modules developed specifically for Magic. Spout is not required for these modules and they will send from and recei...

Spout is using DirectX and OpenGL textures and there is no size limitation apart from what your graphics system allows. If you have Optimus graphics it could be a problem where the DVI output is driven by the Intel graphics rather than NVIDIA. Then you might get the symptoms you describe. Do you see...

Yes, the Isadora manual describes the default folder "/Library/Application Support/FreeFrame" for OSX, so that is where they will end up. It is possible to build Freeframe plugins as 64bit with slight modification for Version 1.6, but there isn't much incentive for people to do that right ...

They should end up in either :

C:\Program Files\Common Files\FreeFrame
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Freeframe

This is a standard location for Freeframe and Isadora looks for plugins in this folder by default.

Does anybody have an application to share the output of Magic over a network? Or receive content from an application on another machine or mix between Windows and Mac. "Spout to NDI" and "Syphon2NDI" have been developed to share Spout and Syphon sources over a network using the N...

Hi everybody.. I have been working for a while on a freeframe plugin that will load a Processing sketch, so that the sketch itself effectively becomes a plugin. The idea is that you can then make any number of Processing sketches and they can all be used as if they were freeframe plugins. Eric Medin...

bluffphonica - are you using Intel HD graphics by any chance?

Recently we have confirmed that Spout DirectX 11 functions do not work with Intel HD4400, but DirectX 9 does.

For testing with Spout , always start with the Demo sender and receiver. If they work, move on from there.

Hi Eric and all, I have finalised this project as far as I can and will leave it at this stage. Dependence on fixed folders for font and dll location is now removed. Selecting a font is now done with a Font selection dialog that looks at the Windows font folder. You can also type in a font file name...

OK I found it. The code logic is extracted from another project and looks for the existence of "Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Freeframe" first and sets the path for the font if it exists. On 32bit machines this folder won't exist, so it then looks for "Program Files\Common Files\Fr...

Eric, I am fairly sure it is crashing because the initial font file is not being found. I used "..\Program Files\Common Files\Freeframe" as a fixed path, so the initial font "test.ttf" has to be in there. The other likely thing is that the logic for finding the Program Files fold...

OK Eric. who knows why the crash. It is working fine here but that's always how it is. It could be there is no text when it starts. I am using a saved project with Magic. Usually null pointers are the culprit. I will have a quick look. FTGL looks good and I could compile just fine, but I got nothing...

OK I understand. Here is a very basic text loader 32 bit Windows freeframe plugin. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7S_Ch4lX2dYWXJPNk5nS3NsSEU&usp=sharing This uses the FreeType library and a simple interface to it. You can do much more with text but you have to use a library that itself...

OK Eric. I had a look into the different options for text some time back. I can't remember why I was looking at it at the time but that's why I mention it here. There have been some Freeframe 1 plugins done in the past but they have not been extended to FFGL. I think I could do a simple one for Wind...

Hey Eric,

what about a freeframe plugin. No guarantees but I could have a look at it. Easiest would be a simple one with a single line of text. It gets a bit more of a job with effects like outlining or 3D or if the text was on fire or anything like that.

Cheers,

Lynn
