As the heading says....who plans to use the new version for their gig this weekend, and who plans to test for a bit before using it in a live show situation?

My next gig is a couple of weeks away, so I'll get time to play with it before going live.  My MIDI controller is coming to the end of its useful life (it was cheap, so I didn't expect it to last for long - but it managed nearly 5 years), so I'm hoping to replace it and get the OHM file sorted for it (assuming that Ots Labs haven't added native support for a controller that takes my fancy in this release).

Yikes! What controller do you use?


Mike Sinclair

ahh... so the HC4500 (since it's one of Ots fully-supported controllers) should still work fine, I suppose. (I can't test it yet because I just ordered a new one and won't have it for a few days).

Hayd

I take it back, have got it working now. Apologies esperance :-)

Darryl

Glad to hear you got it working Hayd.  I've not tried mine yet - fingers crossed!  I need to add the new looping buttons of course...

No way I do video with OtsAV DJ  pro 1.85 .076 fully licenced version but having downloaded the 30 day trial version of 1.90 Esperance and choosing just one folder of various Ots video files i can report that all will play happily on the old work horse version as they have always done?

However with Esperance 1.90 only some of the video Ots files play and others produce a red & black screen message stating  error loading video and play just the audio only and this message can not be removed other than by turning the video screens off!!

Have no idea why the same video files will show and load in Ots AV DJ pro 1.85 and not in this new Esperance 1.90 but there is no way I will be using it this weekend or in the future until I get some help and support from OTS as I feel we are being used as Beta testers for their new software.

And as we only perform with video and use very little audio now, I would have no idea what was going to play or not!!!

So No way will I be trying it as it is no where up the OTS I want love and respected in the past!!!

Sort it out Ots or tell your customers that at present it is only useable for audio and forget it for video as i noticed you have greyed out the HD functions so you obviously have issues you have not resolved?

I look forward to a reply from the software designers at Ots and anyone on the forum that would like to comment as well?

Kind Regards to all

That's really Odd John. The media library and Ots format to my knowlege has not changed, so it's the playback within Ots that is likely the problem. I'll have to see if I can find some bad videos on my setup.  It really is too bad it has to display on the main screen like that. It should recover to slideshow or something automatically IMO.

You normally get the Error Loading Video message when the internal resolution is set too low, try setting OtsAV to Enhanced Definition otherwise its the video resolution which is too high.

I normally encode at 1920x1080 and all my videos play fine on my 1.90 setup although I'm sure Ots downscales from this to Enchanced Definition.
