PixelNet Plugin for Vixen 2.5.X - Any news?
« on: November 25, 2011, »
RJ -

Hate to add more to your already full plate, but did you put out a Pixelnet plug in for Vix 2.5.x?  I use 2.5.0.8 to run my show and just thought of this as I went to test a couple of sequences.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

If you install version 2, then the pixelnet plugin, then upgrade to 2.5 ... then it'll work.  If you have 2.5 you can't install the plugin ... I think.

Yeah the prepare only upgrades the sequences and profile files.  Still need a 2.5 specific plug in for PixelNet

Yeah I need a 2.5 plugin also.
Didn't want to bug RJ over Thanksgiving, i knew he was busy.

I am more than willing to do the work myself.
Just need access to the source,which I will gladly delete after making the upgrade if he wishes to keep it closed source.

I haven't used Vixen much, but pixelnet works on 2.5 for me ... and its the 2.0 plugin I'm using.  Maybe I don't understand the problem well enough.  Are you compiling?

Too funny

3.0 is in beta and currently only supports Renard boards.

It is all the same data to the hub so that should be definitive enough.

I like the rest of the non renard developers had no info on vixen 3.0 till now so renard is all there is for it at the moment. If/when I get some time I will look at it, but the priority at the moment is getting the output working from Vixen 2 / LSP / LOR for the conductor so we can beta test it. Then I will go from there.
