    Madmapper scene won't play video from start, buggy

    by simonlatter » Wed Oct 15, 2025 5:29 pm

    Madmapper 5.7.1

    I have a scene where a 10 second video is saved to start at 0 seconds. I can confirm this with the "I" dropdown menu (the inspector?), and I see that loop start is at 0 seconds. Please advise if this only concerns loop functions. When I activate the scene, it doesn't play from start, it's stuck at the end position. I entered edit mode to make sure position was scoped, and it wasnt. When I made position red, and exited edit mode and tried to play the scene again, the speed and the fade time suddenly was linked. The speed it set to 100%, and has never been changed, but because I had 2 second fade in time on the scene, it played the full 10 seconds in 2 seconds. When I changed to 5 second fade, it plays the 10 seconds in 5 seconds. What is going on? codec h264.

    My work uses mad mapper as a media server, mostly for playing images and videos, but also utilising the materials for fx. Madmapper is very buggy when it comes til playing simple video files. This is only one example, we often have to check a scene or a cue playing a video 10x times before we are sure it will play correctly. Once it plays it usually never fails, so I suspect we don't have enough knowledge about mad mapper, but we are used to resolume, qlab, d3, but have never had this much trouble doing simple things with the other softwares. Any general advice in addition to solving my strange video playback issue?
