RE: xPression Virtual Output Monitor Issue

I have experienced this on my Designer rig, but have never gone and isolated the cause. The fix for me is to switch from Sequencer to Layout mode and then back to sequencer. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------

Hey Tristan, I ended up contacting Ross support directly and I will share my conclusion with you and then Garner can correct if I missed anything. So I had gotten the impression that the Xpression Statsperform Datalinq option was able to do the Oauth authentication the way Postman does it for ...

I assume you are aiming for something similar to the image below.

Yep thats the one I am using. And I have the correct APIKey and Secret Key on the HTTP Config tab second tab. I have tried both https and http in the URL. Both of which work when tested on Postman as well. If you want to DM, I can let you test it on your end. ------------------------------ ...

This is my first time trying. My main Designer machine I am testing on is 10.5 so I wondered if it was a version issue so I tried it in V12, same problem. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------

Garner or Simon, has there been any changes on the backend that has affected this functionality? I have correct credentials that work fine when tested via Postman, but in Datalinq Server, nothing loads. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------

Off the top of my head, the simplest solution I can think of is to create a virtual frame buffer, create a scene that has this data live update on output and then put the scene on that virtual FB. You can set that virtual FB to always be on top or have the op size and place it somewhere convenient on ...

I must say I agree with Azathoth here. While finding a script or VL solution is nice from a nerdy tech standpoint, operationally, assuming these are flags as you say and there isn't a specific reason why sizing needs to happen in Xpression, sometimes simplicity is the best solution, and resizing these ...

No user action, scene director has script blocks. Yea I think I may to just take a different approach as you suggested and find a different way to get this working given this limitation. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------

So in terms of your curiosity. In the image below is an example of the logic. The players names get highlighted row by row however their position on the field (dots on the right) can be varied. So my logic to solve this problem such that when the name is highlighted the correct dot is highlighted is ...

I dont necessarily want to. My scene relies on having group names have numbers numbers in a specific order (based on data that comes in each game), I have a script that renames the groups but it only works in Layout mode AND with the scene being the focused scene, so that is why I switch to Layout mode, ...

So, I have a problem, I am hoping there might be a solution I am missing. I have a script that renames some groups in a scene based on certain criteria. The script works well; however, I notice the script only works in Layout mode (and I am passing the scene on the getscene call, not a copy), so ...

Thanks Azathoth. I actually had seen this and it kept freezing Xpression, but I realised why, I was trying to rename it while it was still an active reference, so I just need to build my scene a bit differently. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------

Is it possible to rename a Base Object (in my case a group object) from a script? I can't seem to find a reference in the API and the .Name property seems to be read only. ------------------------------ Carlito Chippy ------------------------------
