QLC 4.9.0 and Stageprofi

Flo · Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:27 am

I just tested the new version 4.9.0. The interface is recognized, but shows very strange behaviour with chases: If a chase has fade times only the first channel that is affected by the chase is faded. All other channels ignore the fade time and jump to the values.

Yeah, I'm really getting tired of this "stageprofi not working" thing.

Can you please try the attached DLL ?
I hopefully managed to find a way to send data that the device likes.

Sorry, I didn't want to annoy you. Yes, channel fading now works. Thank you very much! You're doing great work here. In fact you are so fast and competent - many companies could learn from you.

I hope I don't disturb your sunday but I detected another problem (and I don't know if it belongs to the Stageprofi): Collections don't work. I can't get any output. The simple desk also doesn't show any values, so maybe it's a general problem...?

Don't worry Flo, I'm not annoyed by you. It's just this Stageprofi device gave me hard times and I am really willing to put the word "end" on it.

As for collections, it sounds strange to me. If you can, please verify it's not related to the Stageprofi. Maybe you can just disconnect it and see if the QLC+ monitor displays the correct values when you start a collection.
In this way we split the issue in a half

It does not belong to the Stageprofi: With or without the interface the collections don't change any values in the dmx channel monitor.

And on the actual fixtures ?

Do you mean the channels in the simple desk? No, nowhere. Not in the simple desk, not in the dmx monitor and not in the real dmx output of the interface.

I mean the output to the physical devices.
Was it working with 4.8.5 ?

Can you please share the project so we can have a look ?

OK, it was my fault: I thought that the collections would have an instant dmx output in the functions tab like the scenes. (And because of an error with the submasters in an older project file I got to the wrong decision that they entirely didn't work.) Sorry!

Back to the Stageprofi:
I tested the OS X version. And it needs the fix, too.

Good to know we haven't compromised collections

Indeed. The Windows version needed a new package cause of the missing DLL so I've included the Stageprofi fix.
I believe we'll have a new version out shortly for all platforms as I already found and fixed a few bugs
