syphon multiple scenes from magic at once

Post by thirdeyeprojections »

I want to bring in more then just the "Main Server" through syphon. Is there a way to syphon more then 1 scene at a time on mac?

I do have a Syphon output module I can share with you, but, the caveat is that it doesn't work with Playlist fades. For this reason, we don't include it in the Magic release.

If you don't mind that shortcoming, contact us via our contact page (https://magicmusicvisuals.com/contact) and I'll email it to you.

i installed the Module but there seems to be an issue.

I added Syphon Server to one of my scenes and in my other programs i am able to see it as Server 1. But when displaying Server 1 and switching out of the scene with the Syphon server to another scene Server 1 freezes.

i tried with both the 32bit and 64 bit version with no difference in result

Yes, that's the way it works :). Modules are only used when their scene is active. If you want the SyphonServer to continue to work when you switch to another scene, you have two options:

1) Add another SyphonServer module in every scene you will be using, and set the Server ID to the same value. This is what the Server ID parameter is for.

or

2) Add a Post-Processing scene (Scene > Add/Update Post-Processing Scene), and add the SyphonServer module there. Since every scene will go through the Post-Processing scene, every scene will go through the SyphonServer.

A few people have contacted us about this so I'm just going to post the link here:
https://s3.amazonaws.com/magicmusicvisu ... Server.zip

For now it's only compatible with 2.0 (not 2.01b). We only update it after the official releases (not betas).

Hi everybody,
I've tried to install the syphonserver module, but it seems not to work with 2.33. Is there going to be an updated version?
Many thanks!
