Thank you! :slight_smile:

Can you please check: In case of reconnection, is “SONG TITLE” fetched by client during PLAY?
If I force a connection-loss situation, all restores now, except SONG-TITLE.
UNTIL an upcoming SONG-CHANGE, when clients are finally updating “missing” Song-Title

Auto scroll seems superb :slight_smile:

I guess you’re still polishing the “PLAY” button and not jet published. IMHO loving it much better that titles are navigate-able only if STOPPED. And PLAY will be a separated button in the heading.

Hello @Spork , I just experienced a connectivity issue.

Last time I tested it was going well enough, if the App went offline, I closed and reopened and then it continued to work fine. Today I updated one device to newest 1.5.2 (an iPhone 13 pro)

When I opened the App I saw this image:

Notice that it updated correctly to the song that I had selected on the host application (running v2.2.96). But When I hit play the app did not start, and then I noticed that the app says it is OFFLINE. I closed and reopened several times but sadly it stayed OFFLINE, even though the song information was fetched. (like TCP is working and UDP/broadcast are not)

I opened an old iPad 5th Gen with VST Live MODS 1.5.1 (previous version) and the same happened, so I don’t think its something new introduced in 1.5.2

I reconnected WiFi on my laptop ,and one of the device update to the correct measure number (the other did not).

After several reopen then both devices were working fine. I will do more testings but definitely very risk for live performance if some devices don’t start properly.

I also experienced on 1/4 bar delay on the iPhone Pro 13 which is pretty powerful device. In my previous tests with v1.5.1 the lag was not that noticeable and I was happy. But on that run it was very noticeable. I stopped and started again and it got better.

Is there a way that you can add information that we can use for debugging in the credits screen? Like calculated lag/delay/ping to see if the delay is a problem with some calculation or is something else. I am willing to run debug versions on Testflight if needed. I have lots of devices and solid networking knowledge and even coding knowledge.

I have coded iOS/Android networked multiplayer games and providing ping information to the user is pretty standard, so users know when is a connectivity related lag and when is something else.

Let me know how can I help find the issues.

Thanks

I really hope so. I’ve been reporting it for 3 years. I hope you take the request into consideration. I assure you that it’s a plus for many user :wink:

hello,

auto-scroll is well working ! Thanks !

Hello @Spork,

While the focus is on fixing the current state, can you look at following extra issues with mods as is:

  • Setlist is not scrollable by touch (even the scrollbar target is so narrow it is virtually impossible to use even on an ipad). If you can manage to point the tiny black area between song names you can actually touch scroll, otherwise a natural scrooling gesture ends up selecting the song / part under the initial touch target. This is a serious issue where a band member mid song wants to see the song after the current one with touch scroll and can end up messing the whole setlist live and even interrupt the playback. What is different from VSTL is while a song is playing, you cannot select another song unless you stop transport in VSTL but currently mods lets you select another song and immediatly stops the playing song. This is a BIG no no live.

  • There is no way to expand and see the parts if the song names are all collapsed from mods. If you expand from main VSTL instance it expands automatically, but very delayed sync. I think this should not be tied to the state of the main VSTL instance. Some band members will just want to see the song names and some will want to see the parts and their progress. Mods user should have the choice.

  • While we are looking at this can we please please have: “auto-expand selected song” and “auto collapse unselected song” for both main VSTL and mods? Pretty please :smiley:

  • Last one is please increase the lyrics screen zoom levels. I’m sure most will agree that if the current max zoom level was the minimum zoom level in MODS no one would complain about this.

tested yesterday with 3.0.17 & 1.52
AFAIK it doesn’t navigates while PLAYing (GOOD)
Also can’t PLAY be modded on SETLIST touch (GOOD)

Hello @fkalmus ,

I’ve just tested all these these with 1.5.2 and 3.0.17 and reported. I’m not sure what we are doing different?

Further investigation for another 5 mins @fkalmus and I are both right.
Problem is the PLAY button:

What works correctly:
While a song is PLAYING, selecting another song does nothing.
While a song is PLAYING, selecting another part inside the same song triggers flex loop.
While a song is PLAYING, selecting another part from another song does nothing.

What works wrong:
While a song is PLAYING, “touching PLAY button” of current part, another part inside the song or another part of a different song immidiatley stops transport!

Hi. Will there be a windows (in my case windows tablet) version coming soon?

I don’t want to have to buy an ipad…

Hi! Answered once / twice a week by developers. Currently iOS app is developed.
But there are workaeounds by users (virtual desktops and client app), with [search] probably you can find them.

Song number missing above 100 in vst live mods 1.5.2

Hi. Didn’t know that it is asked so often, maybe that’s a signal :wink:

I actually have a workaround already with screensharing, but it would be nice to have a dedicated app for it, like you have on the IOS platform

Auto-scroll in VST live mods 1.5.2 scrolls too far.

VST Live 3.0.17 on Windows 11
VST live mods 1.5.2 on iPhone 13

… can you somehow make a video/screenshot which explains what’s going on?

Thank you,
Michael

… you mean the 101th song has no number?

/Michael.

Felician’s reply was a bit too harsh. A lot of users asking for Android support. And at the moment we always reply that MODS supports iOS only.

Windows, on the other hand, doesn’t come up nearly as often.

I’m curious: are there more users here who would like to run MODS on Windows or macOS?

See you,
Michael.
