Dear Forum,

I just noticed yesterday dat madMapper on Windows is sending all universes even when the data is not changed.
The macOS version does it correctly by just sending the universes with changed data.

Is there a parameter in Windows in order to change the behavior ?

Many thanks in advance, Arjan

Hi Arjan,
No it doesn't. But maybe you tweaked hidden settings from my suggestions at some point. There's a setting to set the min FPS. MadMapper does send at least two packets per second by default. There's an hidden setting for that ("min FPS", while max FPS is in preferences) I proposed a few times, to debug with some LED drivers, to set a fixed FPS, I suppose that's your case.
On macOS reset the setting to default with: defaults write com.garagecube.MadMapper artNetOutputMinFps 2
On Windows: REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Garagecube\MadMapper /f /v artNetOutputMinFps /t REG_SZ /d 2
Cheers

Hi Matthieu,

Does this mean that the Windows version is different with respect to outputting DMX data?

The MacOS version is doing it perfectly; only sending the changed universes and then a synchronization package.

The 'issue' on Windows is for both sACN E1.31 and Art-Net.

Thanks, Arjan

Hi Arjan,
No implementations are the same.
Did you check in Windows registry that you have not added settings to override default ArtNet / sACN minimum FPS ?
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Garagecube\MadMapper\artNetOutputMinFps
I'll do some testing on monday.
Cheers

Hi again,

I just checked and we set a while ago the min FPS to 22 by default, I tested on macOS and Windows and get 22 FPS if nothing changes. You can change this setting:

On macOS reset the setting to default with: defaults write com.garagecube.MadMapper artNetOutputMinFps 2
On Windows: REG ADD HKCU\SOFTWARE\Garagecube\MadMapper /f /v artNetOutputMinFps /t REG_SZ /d 2

Let me know if it solves your issue.
Cheers
Matt
