Hi Massimo,
interesting new features
Is there anything new to tanslate into german?
First Feedback from my side for QLC+ 4.7.0 Test: I can't get it to run under Mac OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks, even after trying out all the tipps in the forum here.
I know that is a nightmare for you to develop for OS X, and i hope there is a solution on the horizon, maybe with upcoming new QT Version?
Regards
Heiko

Hi Heiko,
there are a few new strings in the GIT version. When you have time, please proceed
Honestly I don't see a reason why this version doesn't work on Mavericks. Other users successfully run it, but maybe on previous OSX versions.
I know for sure the Qt team had issues with Mavericks and they should be solved with Qt 5. I will try to make a DMG with the latest Qt version, but it's not a promise.
What is that you are experiencing ? It doesn't start at all ? Did you try removing QLC+ preferences ?

Hi Massimo,
good idea to try the configuration reset Is the documentation about how to reset moved? The link http://htmlpreview.github.com/?https:// ... ation.html don't work.
Edit: Ah, i found it in QLC+ Manual 4.6.0. pdf:
Mac OSX:
Configuration files are located in your user $HOME directory, in the Library/Preferences folder.
Here's the quick command to access it from a terminal:
cd $HOME/Library/Preferences
QLC+ configuration file is called net.sf.Q Light Controller Plus.plist while the Fixture editor
configuration file is called net.sf.Fixture Definition Editor.plist.
Tryed it out, but after configuration reset QLC+ crashes when starting up.

I just downloaded QLC+_4.7.0_TEST-20140211.dmg and can confirm it is running on Maverick 10.9.1. That is without any Midi or DMX hardware.
-
Massimo Callegari
Heiko, can you try without devices plugged ? Seems it's working for Joep.
If it works, please connect one device at a time and then tell me which plugin is causing problems.

Thank you for this Tipps Massimo and Joep!
1. after unplugging my Open DMX Etherned controller QLC+ crashed again
2. then i disabled IAC-MIDI Driver under OS X, QLC+ crashed earlier
3. checking the crashlog i found out it could be some problems with OLA
4. uninstalling OLA brings QLC+ 4.7 back to start At this time OLA could not be updated under OS X 10.9 Mavericks with MacPorts.
Hope this is helpfull for others with same problems.

Hi, I can run this Beta 4.7 version on OS X 10.9.1 too.
But, where in 4.6.1 the Enttec DMX USB PRO works, in 4.7 it does NOT work anymore. It detect the device in the QLC+ plugin, as before, but the LED on the Enttec controller does not flash, nor any output on the DMX bus...
Any ideas ?
Thx _ paul

Editing efx name crashes QLC+ if speed dial is not shown. Problem is efxeditor.cpp:548 m_speedDials is null. I will fix it tomorrow.
-
Massimo Callegari
Thanks for reporting Paul. I will build the DMG again with a change Jano suggested me. I hope it's the cause of your issue.
Please be patient though cause my time is limited lately.

OK, let's make another experiment out of this.
I just built a version for Windows based on Qt5.
The two main advantages (for now) are:
- support for multiple audio at the same time
- support for video playback
Download here: http://www.qlcplus.org/4.7.0/QLC+_4.7.0 ... 140216.exe
Please let me know if you can watch any video (try several formats) and if the audio part works as before. Not sure about this, but you might experience a crash at the end of a file playback. (obviously not happening on Linux...)

Massimo, I briefly checked your qt5 nsi script and I don't see platforms/windows.dll there. My sisteer got a bit burnt by this for her school assignment. Basically, if qt5 is not installed in the target machine, the app has to provide "platform plugin" in platforms dir under app install dir. Google the rest, and check on a machine without qt.
-
Massimo Callegari
You're most probably right. I would also add some plugins/mediaservice DLLs.
I haven't had the chance to test it on another machine yet

Running the beta on windows 7 here.
Every fixture I open in 2D view has one less head than it's suppose to. I.E. I open the Chauvet 4PLAY which has 4 pinspots but the 2D shows 3, same with the Event Bar (Has 4 shows 3) and the Tribar Spot (has 6 shows 5).

I think it's not necessary. It still present in the pretty recent build.
I believe that the problem is in the dimensions of the fixture head vs. formulas to compute the 2d view - see ui/monitorfixtureitem.cpp setSize().
For example, varytec gigabar II shows fine.
Give me a minute and I'll commit a fix (hopefully).

Jano Svitok
I'm giving up now. I could not come up with a better formulas...
Nevertheless, ideal solution would be to manually enter the fixture geometry (1x4, 1x6, 5x5, etc.) in the fixture definition.

Yesterday I successfully used 4.7.0/ubuntu 13.10 at a gig. Problems were:
- crash when editing EFX (caused by my changes, happened during preparation and was easily fixed) - fix is already committed to git master
- crash when I tried to use audio triggers. I did not research this problem, I just gave up using audio triggers for the gig. I have the core dump for analysis.
