Variable Time Remaining in long format and freeze output

[Don-Duckworth]

Hello,

I'm using Millumin 4.16.g, 3 macs on a closed network, Streamdeck 6.4.1 (19697), and Companion 3.1.2 (3.1.2+6243-stable-05c37a10).

The variable (timeLayerRemainingTime) is in a long format. For example 43.13213348388672. All the time variables are like this.

Is this normal? Is there a way to just get the seconds?

Also, I cant seem to find the Freeze Output command anywhere in OSC or builtin Companion commands. Is there one? If not could it be added?

Thank you

This is normal and was confirmed by Philippe. I have been using a work around which looks like substr(secondsToTimestamp(round($(millumin:timeLayerRemainingTime))),3,8) this rounds the seconds to a whole number, converts the seconds to HH:MM:SS, and then uses substr to remove the HH from the timestamp.

As for the freeze output, are you looking for a pause function?

Thank you for the work around!!! It works great!!!

For the freeze output, not a pause, but under the "OUTPUT" menu there is a "FREEZE OUTPUTS" and with it turned on, I can jump around in the program and not effect the output screens. So I don't accidentally click on the wrong thing. If it was added as an action to the companion plugin then it would be easy to freeze and unfreeze on streamdeck.

Thank you again!!!

You bet! You can also check the OSC documentation, maybe it will have a solution that works for you, but I browsed and I don't see functionality for the freeze output just yet.

@Jortsathan What would this look like as the button name? I see what its doing, just not sure how to get it to work as a button.

@Don-Duckworth How did you implement this to show on a button?
