The video player needs to provide commands to directly play a video segment by command line, when it's already running and the videos or the video are/is already loaded, without a limit of bookmarked segments. Your software might be much better than an amidi loop, but there might be still missing the video player with the needed options.

(Fortunately, it isn't: The original author is back and will continue this great software project!) And ShowQ is the main reason why searching for a MIDI controllable video player - that would make it possible to do all the cues from one place... The possibilities listed on the homepage really sound delicious and would probably help a lot in most multimedia approaches I'd be confronted with. Although, I'm a bit skeptical: Praxis LIVE looks more like a scripting language than a ready-to-use multimedia application. I'd classify myself more as a user than a coder. Python (and even PD) is not my world... On the other hand: If that makes it possible to trigger all the cues from one place... I should dig into Praxis LIVE... But not today. I have only a few hours before launching my next theater project (where I could use the video player for). Greets! Mitsch

Hi Michael, On 4 May 2016 at 13:34, Michael Jarosch <riotsound(a)riotmusic.de> wrote: Thanks. I fear though that the homepage may be putting you off when it shouldn't. Praxis LIVE's focus has become more about a hybrid visual approach, with the ability to re-code components, but it started out originally as a project aiming to provide an open-source alternative to Isadora. And if you know Isadora, you'll know that this sort of use is what it's aimed at. My last major project built with Praxis LIVE was a contemporary twist on a magic lantern, with NFC tags hidden in the slides to trigger videos (along with various FX driven by sensors) - not far off what you're doing! To do what you want to do you'd have to patch a few components together (players -> mixer -> screen), but all the components you need to do what you want are ready built and included to drag and drop in. Python and PD are not my world either. PD is too low-level for visual programming in my opinion, and I've never touched Python. Praxis LIVE is actually coded in Java, partly because the JVM is one of the few options for doing things like live-coded DSP. The graphical side is based on Processing, so really simple to code if you want to do so - but really there's a lot you can do without touching the code editor at all!

I need it on the channels nine and ten of my RME HDSP and jack is running. QLC+ doesn't support jack(, yet?). But I could tweak around that problem, too: QLC+ has the possibility to startup whatever program I want with a cue. So, any jack capable video- player could do it. And then, of course, trigger the cue with a MIDI- event from ShowQ. :) Not the "easy" sollution I was looking for, but worth a try... Greets! Mitsch
