vMix?

[stevespaw]

@olzzon @alvancamp I am back to a project that I would love to use this. I See that it supports vMix :-) now! I have a use case for Mixbus (ardour) and another that is vMix (this is a big one).
I am using docker. I do not see any setting for vMix. And I still can't seem to get a connection to Mixbus working. Here my run:
docker run --volume /opt/sisyfos-audio-controller:/opt/sisyfos-audio-controller/storage -p 1176:1176 -p 5255:5255 -p 5255:5255/udp -p 3819:3819/udp --restart always olzzon/sisyfos-audio-controller:develop

Any help to get this off of the ground would be appreciated! Thanks

OK Sorry I now used the (windows) docker commands and get the vMix settings, but when I make the connection, it crashes.

BTW docker on Windows WSL2 if it matters. If vMix is closed, sisyfos starts fine, but as soon as vMix starts this crash happens.

Hi @stevespaw
I'm not using vMix protocol myself, i guess it's running if you don't have any connection to vMix.
It looks like it receives a channel from vMix that is not available in Sisyfos. And as the reference is not optional it gives an error.
I think that @PeterC89 are using it? so maybe he knows something, there was an issue regards having more Sisyfos faders than vMix, maybe it's also the other way around, when vMix has more channels than Sisyfos?.
Maybe @mint-dewit knows something?

best regards
Kasper

Thanks for the reply Kasper @olzzon !
If @PeterC89 or @mint-dewit could give me an idea that would be great. I am now running it in linux docker to make sure no issues. I have made a simple 4 input project and selected 4 faders in vMix. I get the same crash as above as soon as it connects.

[olzzon]

@stevespaw It's related to the doesChannelExists, it looks like it is taken for given that all channels in Sisyfos has a fader assigned to it.
So maybe a workaround that could work would be to assign all vMix channels to a fader (route 1:1)
But as i don't have acces to a vMix i can't test this.

To fix the issue in the code either "this.doesChannelExists" check should be enhanced to also check whether it's assigned to a fader, or a second check "if (!state.faders[0].fader[assignedFaderIndex])" should be added like in this example:

                if (!this.doesChannelExists(input.number - 1)) {
                    return
                }

                const { outputLevel, fadeActive } =
                    state.channels[0].chMixerConnection[this.mixerIndex]
                        .channel[input.number - 1]
                const assignedFaderIndex = this.getAssignedFaderIndex(input.number - 1)
                if (!state.faders[0].fader[assignedFaderIndex]) {
                    return
                }
                const { inputGain, muteOn, pflOn, pgmOn, voOn } =
                    state.faders[0].fader[assignedFaderIndex]

@stevespaw
You could also try and run the nrkno version:
https://github.com/nrkno/sofie-sisyfos-audio-controller/pkgs/container/sofie-sisyfos-audio-controller

As this is from prior to the last refactor (that might have broken the vMix protocol)
And feel free to give feed back if this works, so we can fix it in the TV2 version :)

[stevespaw]

Still no luck with the nkrno version. I have tried every combination of faders and setting that I can think of. It still crashes when I launch vMix:

docker pull ghcr.io/nrkno/sofie-sisyfos-audio-controller:master
docker volume create sisyfos-vol
sudo docker run --mount source=sisyfos-vol,target=/opt/sisyfos-audio-controller/storage --network="host" ghcr.io/nrkno/sofie-sisyfos-audio-controller:master

This is what I ran BTW.
