hermandsen / artnet-emu Goto Github PK

I'm suddenly getting a strange message when starting Artnet Emu:

Artnet Emu v1.2.2.0
Another instance is blocking the port.
the program might be running in the Background.

ironically I did not change anything in the setup. it was working fine last Sunday.
And this is the second PC where this pops up after a while.

I have both Artnet Emu and VLC in the Autostart group under windows 10

Any idea, what could be the cause here?

thanks

Load/save window position and size on startup/shutdown.

There is no installer in the source files... how to install?
Couldn't find anything in the readme file.

Thank you!

Hi,

First of all Great project!!!!! Exactly what I need!
THANK YOU!!!

I'm using it on a small PC to Show content on VLC triggered from my lighting console.

However I have 2 questions:
Is there a way to get the app startet in listening mode automatically?
The plan is not to have a keyboard or mouse attached to the PC, and have it start VLC and EMU when powered on.
But currently you need to press start Listener once. Any way this could be autostartend? Maybe with an argument from the Console?

the second problem is not really related to EMU, but maybe you have a hint for me.
After finishing a clip VLC quits the Fullscreen mode revealing the Windows behind ist. I there any way to keep it in Fullscreen or maybe go to blank screen?

regards
Ralph

After running Setup and trying to add a media player I get the following exception. I get this independently on two 64bit windows7 computers while a friend doesn't. Any clue as to why and how to rectify this would be awesome. Thanks :)

Hey Jasper,

Less an issue, more an idea or suggestion:

I'm using th Emu successfully to trigger videos on a remote PC running VLC.
Now I'm wondering, if it would be possible to activate the live video feed from a camera attached to that VLC PC?
Maybe with an additional command on channel 4?

Let me know if that's possible, or if this idea is way off.

RalpH

I need a fade in/out control to smoothly fade any visuals in VLC.

It should be possible to adjust all video effect parameters (VLC->Tools-> Effects and Filters) remotely, espacially brightness and contrast.

I researched also for a way to control that via the VLC remote interface (lua http), but couldn't find that at the moment...

If you choose a base folder for the media files with an inacessible folder ("access denied") inside, you will get an exception, as soon as you right click at the application entry and select "view files"

First, thanks for this!
Is there step-by-step guide for dummies?

I run an ArtNet with 1.0.0.42 as the sender's ip from a Win10 computer's secondary Ethernet extensioncard. The primary Ethernet Output shouldn't matter in this network.
However the Win10 Computer I want to address in this net runs at 1.0.0.43 statically. And the problem is: when I start the Listener of Artnet-Emu on the .43 PC, the status-box wents green, then black and then green again for a short time, because after this single blink Artnet-emu crashes without any Exception thrown.
I've tried sending DMX (in Universe 3) while starting, different IP's for the sender and I even removed registered players from Artnet-emu, but this error keeps occuring.

Artnet-emu sounds like a great and powerful tool, and I'm really thankful for the person developing this, but as I just described it didn't work in my setup. If I should provide any further information I will.
