Copy to document / absolute path

Hi Team,

I love to give mimolive another try as a film festival playout. First I need to get a lot of sources in, there are more than 200 GB of videos. In BoinxTV, I could select to load it from path. in mimolive I need to import it in the source thing, and then I can select in the source that I don’t want to copy it to document. Or did I miss something?

So getting one large video in the source is like 10 min spinning wheel to wait.
Don’t want to copy it, it’s on an external SSD.

Tried playlist, there I can select “path” before, but that won’t help me for the show, need all videos as separate source.

Beste Grüße nach München

@kontrast Hi Heiko! Great to hear from you!

If you press the “Control” key while dragging files into the Source panel, it will held outside the document.

Also, did you check out the Playlist source?

Finally, please use the latest Version 2.8.1.b4 because it has some performance improvements.

Let me know if this helps.

Best, Oliver.

Hi Oliver,
control key… that’s it. Great.
Yes, I took a look at playlist source. It’s great for automation. But I have different pixel sizes of video and it’s easier for me to have it in different layers because we have breaks between the videos.

I will test the latest version, thanks.

Best,
Heiko

Having different layers is perfectly ok, of course!

The Playlist source should be able to handle different pixel sizes. Also, if you uncheck “Non-Stop” and “Restart on Live” it plays one video and stops, queueing the next video for when you put it live again.

Hello Oliver,

yesterday I made a project with the videos in the sources, today I opened it and a few of them are “offline” or not available. Haven’t changed the path, all of them are in the same folder. Some are recognized, some not. All of them did play yesterday. What could it be?
How can I send you a screenshot?

Maybe this helps: below the the name of the source it shows: Audio: -596:-31:-23
in all of the missing data

got a proof now: imported all videos new, logged of my user, logged in again, started the project. 6 of 8 films are only shown as QT icon in the source.

ok, another test shows the problem better: videos that I brought with the control key into the source are not found. Videos loaded normally are shown properly.

@kontrast Thanks for diving into this. I just tried to reproduce here on my machines but couldn’t. Can you look at the Console app and see if there are any messages when you open the document, please? What version of macOS are you running?

Running latest OS, clean install a few weeks ago, only BoinxTV an mimolive installed beside the OS.

Another thing: Sometimes, the pixel size of a video is not shown and used correct. I swap to german:
Das Video ist 1920x1080, die Source zeigt aber 1888x1062. Das kommt mir vor wie in Quicktime, dort gibt es ja ne Anzeige für Größe und “aktuelle Größe”.
Das Video wird dann auch nicht im Vollbild ausgegeben. Habe nen Screenshot mit grüner Testfläche dahinter gemacht. Muss nur sehen, wie ich die jetzt verlinken kann.

@kontrast We should continue this discussion via email. You should still have mine.

@kontrast Thanks for reporting this and helping to figure it out. For future reference, the problem turned out to be files on external disks being added to the source pane by drag&drop while keeping the Cntrl button pressed. After logging the user out and in again, the reference to the file was incorrect. This will be solved in the next release (following version 2.8.1b4)
