OLA Support

Heiko Fanieng · Tue Nov 27, 2012 8:37 pm

Hey Massimo,

thank you for this great Idea, i searched a good Software running on OS X for years. Is it possible to (re)implement support for OLA driven Devices like Enttec Open DMX-Interface?

Best regards
Heiko

Sure thing ! In these days there are so many things to do to restore QLC to its shining status

Next version will have the OLA plugin back. I just built against OLA 0.8.26 and it worked.
By the way, isn't the Enttec Open USB natively supported by QLC on OSX ? You shouldn't need OLA for that...at least on Linux and Windows

Thank you for that

My DMX-Interface ist the Enttec Open DMX Ethernet, not the USB-Version. I'm looking forward for your QLC Plus Improvements

ArtNet support for Windows would be nice!

I know ! Might go into QLC+ in a near future

Great Update - OSC is fine. But i'm still missing OLA-Support under OS X. Or evem ArtNet Support for my DMX-Interface.

Hi. The OLA plugin is in the DMG package. Do you have OLA installed in your system ?
I compiled version 0.8.26 from sources, since the MacPorts installation is broken on my Lion box.
Probably QLC+ is looking for OLA in /usr/local, while the default should be /usr.
Can you try to copy the ola libraries in /usr/local and let me know ?

Thanks

Heiko Fanieng · Fri Dec 21, 2012 5:58 pm

Thank you for your quick reply:) Yes OLA is installed in Version 0.8.26.

OK, i will try to find the folder /usr/local on my german OS X and copy the OLA-Files in it. Then I let you know if it was successfull or not.

Massimo Callegari · Fri Dec 21, 2012 8:17 pm

Ok, I've found the time to build another DMG which looks for OLA in the default path. I named it 4.1.1a. Can you please try it and let me know if it works ?
Thanks !

By the way are you interested in contributing with the translation ? The german one is 50% completed

Heiko Fanieng · Sat Dec 22, 2012 11:01 am

I tried 4.1.1a without success. Can you tell me the default path of OLA? Yesterday i searched for more information about how it works, but i don't understand it. But i can access my interface via Webbrowser at http://localhost:9090/ola.html.

Please tell my how can i help with the translation?

Hi,

OLA doesnt listen to localhost. Start OLA with option "-l3" and check your output or use the "ola_dev_info" command to find out under which ip OLA is running. If you are not connected to a LAN, you have to set a static ip manual on one your network interfaces.

Heiko Fanieng · Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:33 pm

Hi offtools,

OLA is started with the option -l3, und the static ip of the interface is set:
ola_dev_info
Device 1: ArtNet [10.0.0.1]

but i can't get the OLA-plugin for QLC+ to work.

Massimo Callegari · Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:58 pm

Wait. At this point I don't understand if you don't see the OLA universes listed in QLC+ or if you see them but can't get them work.
Can you please open a terminal (Apps->Utilities->Terminal) and type:

which olad

and report the output here ?

Regarding translations, you need to install Qt Linguist for OSX:
http://code.google.com/p/qtlinguistdown ... loads/list
then Download QLC+ source code, extract it and open all the _de_DE.ts files in the tree with Qt Linguist. The biggest one is ui/src/qlc_de_DE.ts

Heiko Fanieng · Sat Dec 22, 2012 4:27 pm

Here is the output:

131-heiko-faniengs-macbook-pro-wlan:~ heikofanieng$ which olad
/opt/local/bin/olad

Maybe thats the problem - /opt/local/bin instead of /usr/local/bin/olad ?

I don't chooes this path - installed ola with macports.

Massimo Callegari · Sun Dec 23, 2012 11:58 am

Hi Heiko, I've just uploaded QLC+ 4.1.1b which looks for OLA in /opt/local.
Please let me know if it works, so I'll stick with this solution for the next releases.
I've included also your translation. Please check if everything's ok.

Heiko Fanieng · Sun Dec 23, 2012 1:46 pm

Thank you Massimo. But i can't find the Download for QLC+ 4.1.1b for testing. And maybe i can do some more translation over Christmas Days:) Now i found out to put the translations directly in my QLC+ Installation path and i can check it dircetly in the context of using QLC+

Massimo Callegari · Sun Dec 23, 2012 5:33 pm

I think I'm starting to hate Sourceforge.
I've uploaded the file like 5 times and SF always set it to pending.
Let's wait a bit and see if they decide to make it available

In the meantime...here it is:
