Playback stutter when triggering a backupmachine with OSC

Post by Potipro »

Hey guys!

Hope you are allright!
I have a show tomorrow where i have to run 2 licenses of Resolume on two Mac Pros.
1 machine is my backupmachine, wich should be triggered at the same time.
When i trigger a clip by Keys at the hot machine everything is fine. (when not connected via OSC Setup to the backupmachine)
When i trigger a clip by keys at the backupmachine everything is fine, too.(when not connected via OSC Setup to the backupmachine)
When i trigger the hot machine via Touch OSC on my tablet everything is fine.(when not connected via OSC Setup to the backupmachine)

When i trigger the hot machine wich is also OSC connected with the backupmachine the video on the backupmachine is stuttering.
When i now close Arena at the hot machine after 3 seconds the playback is ok again on the backupmachine.

Here is my OSC Setup:

Tablet Touch OSC:
In Port "A"
Out Port "B"

Mac Pro Hot:
In Port "B"
Out Port "C"

Mac Pro Backup:
In Port "C"
Out Port "A"

This Setup, like i said, stared to stutter at the backupmachine.

Now i tried not to use my tablet to get the errorarea smaller....

So i tried this setup:

Mac Pro hot:
In Port "A"
Out Port "B"

Mac Pro Backup
In Port "B"
Out Port "A"

Now i triggered via Keystroke and it stuttered again on the Backupmachine.

Now i tried this setup:

Mac Pro Hot:
In Port "A"
Out Port "B"

Mac Pro Backup
In Port "B"
Out Port nothing

Also was not working.

It starts to stutter when i am sending OSC from the Hot to the Backupmachine.
Also not everytime the backupmachine gets the command to start the clip.....

How can i fix this?

Also Arena didnt got my Keystrokecommands from my Keystrokecommandbuttons from OSC. (like: Shift+Arrow Right for a "GO" Button) Is there also an OSC command or the option that Arena will understand this?

In the end i need 2 machines wich are starting the same Clip at the same time without stuttering on the backup....
At the moment i cant do this via Tab and i cant do it via Keystroke....

I really hope that anybody can help me before the show.... :o/

Thanks to all! :shock:

Master-slave is a bit tricky to set up.

This happens because you get the playhead position on the slave, which makes the playhead seek while playback.

I've attached an OSC preset file.
Close Resolume
copy the preset file to Documents/Resolume Arena 6/Shortcuts/OSC folder
restart Resolume,
go to Shortcuts, Edit OSC, and load this preset in the Shortcuts panel on the Master.

Let me know if you see improvement.

Edit:
BTW, make sure you don't create an OSC feedback loop, by sending OSC from a slave to a master.
That would be any setup with the backup machine sending back to touchOSC or the Master machine.
