This version fixes the blocking error with actions in v1.0.10

• Added crash reporter (not tested)
• Fixed actions that didnt work
• Added "oops, lost connection" to the Web UI if daemon crashes

Sorry for releasing a faulty release, guys ;) the cost of getting the features out there asap!

• OSC Generic module (send custom osc messages, make them yourself.)
• Quick and Dirty Millumin 8 support
• Better graphics caching for our precious buttons
• PlaybackPro Plus support
• Prettified the web interface

❗ This release has a blocking bug, where actions do not work. Please download a later release. ❗

Event Companion v1.0.9-alpha-osx

• Button preview in bank view and inside the button config! Woho!
• Current color displayed!
• Actions tab more user friendly
• USB-handling improvements
• Favicon
• Some cleanup and performance fixes

Event Companion v1.0.8-alpha-osx

• Pages wraps (page down on page 1 becomes 99, and the other way around)
• Multi device support (YAY!)
• EventMaster instance shouldn't throw nasty errors anymore if the connection is lost
• Better color palettes
• Mitti toggle fix
• Changed some labels to make stuff more consistent

• disguise/d3: OSC Basic support added. (untested)
• EventMaster: still doesn't support simulator
• EventMaster: loss of connection to device still results in reign of fire

Keep tickets and requests coming!

Event Companion v1.0.6-alpha-osx

• Added temporary hacks for eventmaster exceptions. Make sure the E2/S3 actually exists and is pingable before trying to throw commands at it. This will be fixed in a better way later.

EVENTMASTER SIMULATOR STILL WONT WORK FOR THIS :)

Please read release notes for v1.0.5 and v1.0.4 as well!

Event Companion v1.0.5-alpha-osx

PLEASE read the release notes for v1.0.4 before downloading this release. This is still highly experimental and under heavy development.

Changelog 1.0.4 -> 1.0.5:

• Added experimental support for actions
• Added experimental support for eventmaster: autotrans, cut and preset recall to pgm and pvw

THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH EVENTMASTER SIMULATOR! It does not provide the JSON-API like the real deal does. XML support will be implemented in the future.

Something we've found out now, is that the application will start to throw errors when you change the E2/S3 IP after adding the EventMaster Instance. OK out those, and try to type in the correct IP in the config, and restart the app! I'm on it for 1.0.6 :) (coming out tonight probably)

Cheers! Please join our Slack discussions! :)

(also let us know if this invitation link doesn't work by filing an issue, perhaps)

Event Companion v1.0.4-alpha-osx

This versions is for beta testers!

Before starting application:

• Make sure the original elgato streamdeck app is closed/not running.
• Make sure your streamdeck is connected

Test tasks:

• Does the application start without any hickups?
• Network interfaces - discovered correctly in the dropdown?
• Elgato draws page up/down/page number
• GUI - WebUI: Can you add, rename and remove instances?
• GUI - WebUI: Does the elgato emulator work? (try page up/down)
• GUI - WebUI: Can you edit a button?
• GUI - WebUI: When editing a button, can you change button style?
• GUI - WebUI: Does both button styles work? (small and large font styles)
• GUI - WebUI: Can you change colors on the buttons?

Note:

• Actions is not ready for testing yet. The instances will in the future expose "actions" that you can stack onto buttons. Usecase: Make one button trig QLab GO and EventMaster preset 1.1 at the same time for example.

OSX Should work.
Windows is totally untested and will probably not work at all. Who knows?

Cheers!
