Hey, thanks for the awesome app. I can't seem to choose displays on mac OS X though. No matter which way I extend my displays my mac will always be the stage and my projector shows the controls, or, my mac both displays controls and the stage. Thanks in advance.

@codingjoe

Yeah, that sucks. They changed how Processing handles the displays. You can use mission control to fix it, but still. I’d really like to see this fixed.

Bill Lou

@billhmlou

@codingjoe Unfortunately the problem with that is the stage will not resize. It will always appear on my smaller screen, and when I move it with mission control, it will not resize to the larger screen. I'm getting around it by launching the app while my mac's monitor is off and the projector is the only display. Again, thanks for your work!

@codingjoe

hm… ok, great workaround, sorry that there isn’t much more that I can do for you right now.

Hey, shouldn't we raise an issue per not finished effect feature? codingjoe/MusicBeam#15 - I can do this if you want. Generally this would make the issues smaller and we can work on it step by step + we have everything on track

Kai Röder

@kroeder

and in codingjoe/MusicBeam#19 what exactly do you want by stack trace? You mean the debug log of "afterworkpro" or the related issue number #19 ?

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

@kroeder that’s a good idea, you can split #15

regarding #19 I’d like to see the error that’s been raised when you don’t have the line-in connected, We should catch the exception and present the user with this information

I just can’t reproduce it, there for I don’t know which exception to catch

Kai Röder

@kroeder

I can't reproduce it myself.. Just had it one time on an older notebook - after the first time plugging in a cable it disapeared, even after unplugging it

Kai Röder

@kroeder

@codingjoe if I miss something in the new issues, let me know :) I'll edit the post then: e.g. #23

Hey, i tried running Musicbeam on windows 10 64 bit. The stage program opens but nothing happens, it stays opaque when you click on it.

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

@silverches have you tried the 32bit version?

silverches

@silverches

Yep, then the musicbeam program stays grey

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

That is a Java bug. there is nothing I can do against that. You can downgrade to java 1.8.65

that is before the bug was introduced

silverches

@silverches

Allright thanks!

@oxylis_twitter

Is that the case with Max OS X? Should I downgrade as well?

Actually, is there a page on your website that lists all of the previous versions? Can't seem to find it.

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

What’s your problem?

Mac OS X should work fine. cc @oxylis_twitter

Hi, I have MusicBeam on my archlinux and a few months ago everything was fine but when I started it today it just shows a grey window and the log shows an exception (same exception as below but no Errors before that).
I tried downgrading Java to 1.8.65 (jre8-openjdk-8.u65-1 and same jre and jre-headless) but afterwards I get the same behaviour and the following log output when starting the program:

==== JavaSound Minim Error ====
==== Unable to return a TargetDataLine: unsupported format - PCM_SIGNED 44100.0 Hz, 16 bit, stereo, 4 bytes/frame, little-endian

=== Minim Error ===
=== Minim.getLineIn: attempt failed, could not secure an AudioInput.

Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException
at MusicBeam.setup(MusicBeam.java:80)
at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:2374)
at processing.awt.PSurfaceAWT$12.callDraw(PSurfaceAWT.java:1527)
at processing.core.PSurfaceNone$AnimationThread.run(PSurfaceNone.java:316)

Do I need another Java version or similar to use MusicBeam?

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

@JKatXGME that seems to be an issues with our audio devices. Did this error occur with the latest version?

I think this sould be solved now. If you try plugging and unplugging your line in.

@JoePotchen

Hey is there any update on issue #40 ?

mateuszdybow

@mateuszdybowski_twitter

anyone know if you can set keybinds for the certain effects etc. Strobe = f1 moonflower = f2 ??

Johannes Maron

@codingjoe

@mateuszdybowski_twitter yes there are, but not the function key but the regular numbers. Press 1 for the first effect and so on.

Hey, First of all: I love the idea of MusicBeam and I would love to use it at my birthday with multible beamers, so I just tried your software.😀 At the beginning I downloaded the 64-Bit Version. Im using Windows 10, so that wasn't working and I tried the 32-Bit Version. With a Beamer connected it opened and showed the interface, but there was no picture on the beamer, just my regular desktop. My screen was set to extend to the right, so that cant be the problem. But I noticed, there are two MusicBeam windows opened on the Main-screen. One is the regular interface, the other one is the Stage. But that one is completely transparent and cant be moved to the second screen. Maybe you know what to do and you can help me. I would love to use your software at my Birthday.😓 Greetings, Mike
