Osc Out Question

[gavspav]

I notice that its possible to get the current clip position sent out by OSC:

/activeclip/audio/position/values

I'm trying to get my head around it. I have the active clip and any other layers are at address layern/clipx/audio/position/values.

But if the active layer changes then that particular layern message changes to activelayer and the one which was activelayer becomes layern.

Is there any way to forget the active layer and get the values for all layers sent out irrespective of which is in focus?

If you want to disable /position/value messages for the active layer, you need to do it in three places.
1. Clip tab, layer focus
2. Clip tab, deck focus (this is probably an inconsistency in the implementation, and we're looking into it).
3. Layer transport controls, layer focus.

After this, it should only send /layer*n*/ messages for the playhead.

Hope that makes sense.

Ok I've tried 1 & 2 and yes it disables position messages for active layer but I don't get any position messages for that layer.

But perhaps that is by design?

But no.3 Layer transport controls, layer focus.

I don't understand what you mean by this?

To confirm my question, is there a way I can have position data for every layer by layer number, including the active layer?

[Joris]

In the view menu, check the box for Show Layer Transport Controls. Once these are visible, OSC will be sent for every layer which is playing a clip, including the active layer, in the format /layer*n*/video/position/values/.

As long as you don't take step 3, it will also send /activelayer/video/position/values/

Aha! Thanks.
