Hey everyone!
We've just posted a new release for you to try out:
http://www.vidvox.com/download/VDMX5_b8.6.1.7.dmg
This is mostly bug fixes and minor updates with one new feature – the ability to capture any screen as a source.
As always please let us know about any problems by using the “Report Bug” option in the Help menu!
- Dave & Ray
PS. This post was originally for b8.6.1.6 but there is only a very minor fix to the display capture feature so just editing the title / download link for this thread.
• Added the ability to use the contents of any connected screens as a live input (these show up in the vidin section of the workspace inspector and media browser like other sources)
• Added "preview alpha" toggle for preview windows
• Added ability to specify the default "echo noteon/noteoff" values for buttons in the button prefs
• New fx, PolyGlitch.fs
• Updated internal copy of Vuo.framework to 1.2.6
• Added some exception handlers to improve vdmx's support of vuo
• Change to how vuo caches stuff- executables (only executables, not dylibs) compiled by vuo now store the path to the app which compiled them (which is necessary, because the executable has to link against libs in the vuo.framework embedded in the app, which means we have to recompile executables if the app path changes)
• Updated the Blackmagic SDK
• Fixed a bug where media bin target layer was wrong on preset load under some specific circumstances
• Fixed a media bin bug- if a movie is held at the end, triggering in the bin while Movie End mode is active works
• Fixed a bug with automatic relinking- Syphon, window inputs, layers, plugins and screen capture sources will no longer aggressively try to relink with other sources during automatic relinking.
• Fixed a bug with restoring time slider marks that were synced to receivers
• Fixed bug where some thumbnails were being cached as full resolution images instead of reduced sized.
• Fixed a crash when reverting a project file under some circumstances
• Fixed a bug with the cues plugin data sources
• Fixed a bug with the clock plugin that would theoretically result in a seemingly-random crash that would likely coincide with a preset changed
• Fixed a bug where control surface data sources would, under some circumstances, disappear in a mysterious and seemingly random fashion shortly (but not immediately) after triggering some preset combinations
• Fixed a bug where the bool receivers associated with the window tab of a cues plugin weren't responding correctly
• Backend change to clocks, which should theoretically be more accurate.
• Cue plugin fix- presets that were created when the cue list was paused will restore paused now
• When a receiver using endless MIDI is being used to control a time slider (for "scratching"), the Endless MIDI "pulses" should correspond directly to frames
• Fixed a rare case where media bin layer target was wrong on preset load
