multiple video synchronous

Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2019 5:39 pm

I'm really new with Madmapper, hopefully someone can help.
I use Madmapper for two different projectors with different aspect ratio at the same time as a side by side projection. Each projector need to show his own video-file: Projector 1 shows video-file 1; Projektor 2 shown video-file 2. Video-files needs to auto repeat after reaching the end.
Both video-files got the same codec and the same duration.
I use the new MacBook Pro. The geometry setup is already done and fine.
Here is my question: How can I start both video-files at the same time running Madmapper. I hope there is a possibility to do this. I don´t want to use third party solutions.
Looking forward for any help, thanks!

There are different options but the simplest one is: create a single movie file with all your movies in it (ie 3x1920 x 1080) and assign this video to all quads select the desired input rectangle in the input preview.

You could create a scene with all 3 quads (every quad is a projector) in the scene. Just make a OSC,DMX or keyboard command to start the scene.
You could make a bigger video but this depends on codec if its allowed with te resolution. So I like to go for safe. Also you can easily add transitions and playlist and all videos will always start at the same time.

I'm having the same problem, but with three 4k videos auto repeat.

I've set a keyboard shortcut with Scene, all 3 videos start playing simultaneously. However after a full day playing, the videos start to be out of sync...

So I guess I've solved the first part (starting in sync), but how to keep them in sync forever?

Thanks a lot!

If MadMapper uses FFMPEG Player, we handle frames manually, and your movies should keep in sync.
On macOS, if you activated "Use hardware acceleration", we use Apple AVFoundation player, and this Apple component handles timing and decompression. I can't guarantee it won't drift.
What's your situation when movies are drifting ? Which OS & which player is MadMapper using ?

Thanks for the reply, actually I have 2 different setup facing the same problem.

Setup 1:
Mac Pro 2013, Six 1920*1080 or 1920*1200 output with Active HDMI Adaptor
6 individual mp4 H.264, with hardware acceleration enabled -> outsync after long time playback

Setup 2:
Mac Pro 2013, Six 1512*1176 output with Active HDMI Adaptor
- 3 individual 3024px*1176px H.264 without hardware acceleration -> system freeze + MadMapper crash after long time playback, can SSH inside, Screen Sharing shows full white screen, TeamViewer shows full black screen, can move the cursor around, Cmd+T not responding

- 3 individual 3024px*1176px HAPQ with hardware acceleration -> crash after long time playback (from crashlog it is related to graphics, as I saw ATI kext related stuff)

- 3 individual 3024px*1176px HAPQ without hardware acceleration -> no crashing anymore finally, but outsync after long time playback

Oops, actually using Hap Q without hardware acceleration causes the same freezing...

SSH in and found that MadMapper is still running, but even if I kill it, the Screen Sharing is still just full white, TeamViewer shows full black, so all GUI stuff is dead

tried

Code: Select all

killall SystemUIServer

Code: Select all

killall -KILL Dock
won't work, must restart the macOS to bring it back to life

here is the related crash log:

After a long time disappointment, I've:
- Upgrade the macOS to latest Mojave (see if Apple did any bug fixes to the graphic driver)
- Switched to use Hap instead of HapQ (hope to reduce the CPU usage)
- Stitched all 3 videos into a single one (so no more out sync problem can occur, w/ or w/o Hardware Acceleration)

So far no more crashes and no more system freezing

Just can't believe there isn't any reliable built in mechanism for playing certain video in sync :(

It should be possible to do a OSC signal after every loop and start the other movies on this command?
So If it ends it gives a play to the other movies?

But My choice is more often to make 1 big video out of the bunch, it has the best sync available...but it is not always possible.
All times are UTC+02:00
