in 10.7 I cant get a billboard or sprite patch to load in quartz composer at all. I’m assuming its not supported anymore.
Billboards and sprites are fundamental to QC and work fine on 10.7 and .8 – sounds like something is going wrong.
Probably best to contact RenewedVision for support if it’s failing in their product.
I don’t know anything about Dragonframe – if it supports FFGL or Quartz Composer directly, you could use our plugins for those – otherwise you’ll have to ask them to add support for Syphon to their app.
I think most of the work of rendering web content is in layout and font rendering, plus JaveScript, etc – none of which benefits from OpenGL. The page you link suggests they draw the finished render to screen using OpenGL, but I don’t know if they use OpenGL to actually do the rendering.
Another option is CoGeWebKit which should be more efficient than any of the screen-grabbing methods.
VDMX also has an web renderer which works well – presumably also WebKit-based.
You must have a server running with the spinning Syphon logo.
Do you have our Simple Server demo/test app running? Quit that.
Audio-related problems should be solved. Please let us know if they’re not.
Syphon is never interfacing directly with the capture device, so compatibility isn’t to do with Syphon – in your initial setup you were connecting them in Quartz Composer. I can’t speak for the compatibility of that device with QC – maybe someone else has experience using it.
Try asking on the Cycling 74 forums, it’s not really a Syphon problem and I don’t know much about Max for Live.
Hey, just came across this, sorry it didn’t get a reply. If still an issue, post a simple sketch which reproduces your problem.
Hi – thanks for the details.
Could you e-mail me a short movie you’ve recorded with Syphon Recorder? bangnoise@gmail.com
Re Simple Client and Server – they are just test/demo apps to show what Syphon does.
Soundflower is designed specifically for this purpose. I’ve used it in the last few months myself and it worked then, not sure I have any useful advice about installing it, sorry.
Recorder is closed source. I’m not keen to duplicate the work of Soundflower inside the app. I’d rather people used Soundflower.
For a free alternative, see this thread about Jitnet2Syphon.
The Simple Client has been updated since that video was made. The menu is still there, in the toolbar. Perhaps you hid the toolbar (View menu)?
Are you saying that Simple Server > Simple Client doesn’t work for you, or only Jitter > Simple Client?
You don’t give details, but I assume you’re doing
Directory Scanner -> Structure Index Member -> Structure Key Member (url) -> Movie Importer
This works for me (with spaces, as it should). Is that your setup?
Hi, I wonder if you still see these crashes with the current version of Recorder?

Apologies for not responding sooner.
Beta 11 hopefully fixes these audio problems
Beta 11 hopefully fixes these audio problems.
Regarding your audio device problems – I’ve (somewhat) improved handling of missing audio devices in an update just now.
If you have a moment, could you update to the latest version and see if you still get a crash when your soundcard is selected as the source but disconnected? It would be good to solve this.
This does look like a crash in the Desktop Video Out component. Why it should suddenly become an issue in 10.8.3 I’m not sure.
If you aren’t using Desktop Video Out, remove it.
To verify it is a problem with the component, if you have any other QuickTime-based apps such as QuickTime Player 7 (not X) installed, see if they crash when they enumerate components, such as when you select from the full list of codecs in the export settings dialog (File > Export > Options > Settings)
