  • 1.  DataLinq Source Requests

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Hello,

    I have a question about DataLinq requests from within XPression. We have a scene that gets DataLinq info from the server, hosted on the MOS Gateway machine. The data is a weather condition that links to Dynamic Materials that are AVI movies and icons. We've had an issue where the scene is put in a framebuffer and the the template defaults are used instead of new DataLinq info. In looking at the logs for the DataLinq server, for an take item that ran today around 15:03, I do not see a request from the Studio box for that take item, but later in the show I do see the request when the same scene was played.

    In the scene, the DataLinq properties are set to 'Return Empty on Failure' but the template defaults stay. I've looked around and I haven't found a place in Studio where outgoing DataLinq requests might be logged.

    There is also a DataLinq server running on the Studio box itself, I just took a look at it and it had some data sources that were not working and seemed to hang up. I've disabled them and turned on the data request logging. I don't know if a second DataLinq server fetching the same data could be a hinderance or not.

    I would appreciate any help.

    Thank you!

    How are you getting the materials? Are you using macros?
