Hello,

For a video installation I would read out a continuously updated text-file (.txt) from a windows server and project the data (the text in the text-file) with help of modul8 on the wall.
My idea is to use the (vs) XT text (layer) to do this.

The first tests worked fine if the text-file is stored local on the desktop; but it's not working if it stored on a network drive.
Could someone help me in the adaption of the (vs) XT (layer) modul?
I'm also very grateful for other ideas.

Thanks, neils.

did you try to manually write the path in the folder pathname field?

for a remote server, you can write:



If you want to be sure of what to put in here, open the terminal and drag the folder that contains the text file on the terminal window. It will write the complete path. Then copy-paste this line into the folder pathname field.

If there are backslashes before every space in folder names, you will have to remove them.

@sigma6; it works! Thanks a lot.
