I'm developing vive-tracked live digital avatar performance capture and multi-cam LED wall - I got Klakspout to work - but then discover my vive trackers stopped working - so i delete your lines in manifest and trackers spring back to life! now Klak's dead

using 2019.4.14f and also tried 2019.2.20f1

help? can i have both klakspout and vive trackers?

(Fantastic little plugin by the way, saved me loads of time)

Is there a way to grab the timestamp of the last successful frame from a feed? I'd like to check it and if one hasn't been provided in a while, and handle it as though the submitting application is lagging behind for whatever reason and tell the user, rather than leaving them with a static image.

That's not an issue, but an improvement - having solid support for NewTek's NDI would be awesome as well. It allows sending images over network with a lot less latency than Spout2NDI currently allows.

Hello,
I'm trying to build my project with the latest KlakSpout release on Unity 2018.2.8f1. If I let the Klak folder directly under Assets the build succeed. But if I moved it under a sub-folder I get this error : error CS0009: Metadata file `C:\Projets\Test\KlakSpout\MyProject\Assets/Plugins/Klak/Spout/Plugin/x64/KlakSpout.dll' does not contain valid metadata. The error stays if I move the folder back to its original location, I have to delete and re-import it again to get a successful build.
Thank you for your help!

I'm sending a texture in RG_32F format.

It appears to be coming in correctly in both the Spout Receiver example and Touch Designer, but not in Unity. The Unity receiver looks like it's flipping the negative values to always be positive. I am setting up my render texture with format R32G32B32A32_SFLOAT.

I think it's a bug, but please advise if you have any suggestions for fixing it. Thanks!

Hi there,
I created two projects (sender/receiver) and I hit play in both (with background on in the player settings) and it works fine. When I built the projects and tried to do run the builds, they didn't work. Any idea why?

Hi,

i had a conversation with leadage from spout2.
leadedge/Spout2#55 (comment)

he pointed me to the D3D1211On12 feature which is enableing Spout compatibility for ray tracing

Do you see a chance to get DX12 support for KlakSpout?

Your NDI DX12 solution works great but it s to slow for our use case.

Steps to reproduce:

• Build project for Windows (architecture x86_64) with Unity 2019.3.0f1 with Fullscreen mode: Windowed;
• Open executable/game;
• Activate Spout DX11 Sender (or any other might do as well);
• Play around with sender (for instance moving the background etc) for half a minute or so;
• When trying to activate the built game, window goes into "not responding" state.

When closing Spout DX11 Sender, game becomes responsive.
This issue doesn't happen with fullscreen mode.

Hey, is it possible to add a source name property to the Camera capture mode sender component?

I have 4 cameras in a unity scene for a projection mapped room and I'm getting instructions to "send Textures to the mapping system via Spout. The textures Spout names to share are "x", "y", "z", and "a"."

Thanks

I can't use SpoutKlak Unity2019.1 with HDRP mode.
It works with Unity2018.3 + HDRP.

Please update Spout Klak.
I love it very much.

Hey,
awesome plugin, as always with Keijiro :)
When I created Unity Spout Plugin before Klak was out (and better), the default behavior when texture name is empty in a Spout Receiver was to take the first in list.
It's very useful to be able to quickly see something / switching between senders, or not having to set it up when exporting for a system that will only have one shared texture, but we don't know from which software (I'm exporting an app for another artist and I don't know which software he will use for generating the texture).
Is it something that you would implement, either as a default behavior or a checkbox (or option in the dropdown "auto select / first available") ?

I am using the Spout Sender script and it seems to be working normally when I use the in-editor play button, but when I try to use build and run, the program still seems to run normally but any Spout Receiver I try to connect gets "Cannot create directx/opengl interop" or other errors along those lines. If I build with the development build setting on, the receiver picks up what I think is the first frame, but doesn't update. After testing many different types of receivers and also a clean Unity project, I believe the bug has something to do with the package and not anything external. Any advice on fixing or other details you might lead to look into it?

I can see all of my spout senders in resolume arena and in any demo app for receiving spout input.
When I play any of the streams I always get only blank black screen.
Has anybody had this issue before? Can specific graphics card be problem?
When I play demo app I can receive any other spout application even the demo itself.

Hello,
Thank you for this amazing plug-in !

I am trying to implement an automatic selection of the first source available in the receiver (as mentionned in #34) and I run into a problem where once at least one sender as been seen, the receiver name list never goes back to empty even when I close all senders. One sender always remains even though it is not sending anymore. This remaining sender is not always the same and additional senders are added and removed fine.

Example :

1. No senders -> source list = []
2. Start sender A -> source list = [A]
3. Close sender A -> source list = [A] (problematic, the list should be empty)
4. Start sender B -> source list = [B] (Adding another sender removed the remaining A)
5. Start sender A -> source list = [B, A]
6. Close sender A -> source list = [B]
7. Close sender B -> source list = [B] (problematic, the list should be empty)

I need to close all my Spout sending programs and restart Unity to get back to an empty sender list.

Do you have any idea of what may be causing this issue ?

I was able to get everything working on a fresh Unity project. But I have two older projects which I have tried to link to Spout, by using the render texture feature. Render texture is updating, and SpoutSender contains a reference to the correct Render Texture, also the SpoutSender is in an active gameobject.

Only commonality that I could think between these two older projects is that they both use LWRP. The other one is on Unity version 2019.3.11f1 and the other is on version 2019.4.2f1

I am using Resolume 6 to send video onto geometry using spout receiver and it is strobing inside unity. I thought was an issue with HDRP but also getting in standard. Any ideas how to fix this?
Also it used to work, I am currently using unity 2018.3.of2

Thanks so much (:

Hi,

It would be useful to have the same RenderTexture sending mode as you have implemented in the NDI plugin, where you can RenderTexture directly via spout without using a camera.

Thanks,

Harvey

Hi,

I've have an issue where creating or destroying a Spout sender in code results in a crash in a build, but works in the Editor

I've tested with Unity 5.6 and 2017.

Test case - Using the following to destroy and create the SpoutSender component. (Maybe I'm missing something obvious)

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
    {
        if (GetComponent<Klak.Spout.SpoutSender>()) Destroy(GetComponent<Klak.Spout.SpoutSender>());
    }

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.C))
    {
        if (!GetComponent<Klak.Spout.SpoutSender>()) gameObject.AddComponent<Klak.Spout.SpoutSender>();
    }
}

}

Thanks,

Harvey

Hi Keijiro!

I want to use Spout into Phantom, so I replaced Klak with the newer version, and added Spout. However, I got this error:

Assets/Klak/Spout/Internal/PluginEntry.cs: error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'IntPtr' doesnt exist in the namespace 'Klak.System'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I don't know how to fix this :-/

I encountered an issue where a spout sender attached to a camera that is only rendering one layer sends an image that includes all render layers.

Unity 2017.3.1f1, Win 10 GTX 1080Ti

Hi!
Thanks for making this plugin.
I found when you make a blank project & add klakSpout to the camera & make sure it works, then switch the build platform to UWP (Universal Windows Platform) in build settings then hit play klak no longer sends to spout.
Unity 2019.3.3f1
Im using spout DX11 Receiver to test it

Hi Keijiro,

First off thank you for all your awesome work.

I was wondering if you could recommend software to output 360 video content to other software (ie. touch designer) instead of only the Game view width?

I believe this line should be:

if (_receivedTexture != null) Util.Destroy(_receivedTexture);

The spout receiver shows the "Sender IDs" in the drop down. But it doesn't receive anything from the sender to render texture.?

KlakSpout will fail to display the Spout shared texture if it was not created on the same graphics display adapter. Testing this requires use of a machine with multiple display adapters (in my particular case, an IGPU - Intel UHD graphics, and a GPU - NVIDIA 2080 Super ). The attached project is simply a new Unity Project (2019.4.10f1) with klakspout included following the directions on the github page. Additionally, the splash screen is toggled off and a text component was added to the scene to display the current SystemInfo.graphicsDeviceName to verify that the correct device was in use.

To replicate the issue, open the scene "Quad". Disable all components of type "Spout Sender" and create a build with this scene called SpoutReceiver. Then re-enable them and create another build call SpoutSender. This way, only one build is creating shared textures so there will be no naming collisions.

Using a terminal, launch each of these builds with the argument -force-device-index #. Specify a different # for the sender versus the receiver and verify that each is using a different adapter by looking at the text element near the center of the screen. Spout textures will fail to display and will appear black. This is a contrived example, but is important in situations where this plugin is used to read textures from other applications creating shared textures, and there is no guarantee what adapter the texture is created on.

Hi!

I have this error in Unity 3d version: 2019.4.8f1:

Assets\Script\SourceSelector.cs(7,12): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Spout' does not exist in the namespace 'Klak' (are you missing an assembly reference?)


Assets\Script\SourceSelector.cs(13,5): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SpoutReceiver' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

In Unity 3d version 2020.2.0b1.2959 all work normal.

This is fantastic and is working great on 64-bit builds. I don't see anything in docs about it being 64-bit only but I can't get it to work for 32-bit builds. Is it possible to make this work for 32-bit or is the plugin 64-bit only? If so, this should be noted in docs.

Spout version update and x86 support is working fine.

I have no issues in running Spout Sender on a project with no scriptable render pipeline set, as soon as I assign a Lightweight Pipeline to generate shaders using the Shader Graph the sender fails.

Unity is crashing constantly while trying to build my application with spout sender on the camera. When I turn off the component I am able to build the application.

Hi,
I've tried to run a Unity project included Spout sender on a pc with AMD Radeon HD 6450 but game crashes and displays "ATI Radeon Driver Stop Working" message. I've run this project on another computer before (with Geforce Graphic).
I just want to know is there any special compatibility for running a Spout Sender in unity?
Thank you

Hello,
I am using Unity's Visual Effect Graph function,
To use this function, it must be under HDRP.

So I would like to ask if Spout can be executed in this situation?
Because I add the spout sender component on Camera (like the way we are familiar with),
However, the image cannot be transmitted.

So I would like to ask if Spout(Not even NDI) can run under HDRP? is there any other reason?

Thanks!

I can't seem to get it working. The console fills with DLLNotFoundException: KlakSpout errors, using your test scene or my own tests - although the dll is definitely imported. My Spout version is 2.006 using DX11 mode on Win64.

SpoutSender is not working properly on a High Definition RP.

Ways to reproduce this issue:
-Create a New Project and select Hight Definitio Rp.
-Import KlakSpout package
-Attach SpoutSender Script to Main Camera

Unity Version: 2018.3.12f1

Would you help me with this issue?

Thank you for your work, it has been really useful

Modify code:
//const auto format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
const auto format = DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM;
result:
cann't receive Image.

Hi,

I'm trying to make some changes to my SpoutReceiver.cs code but it keeps being reverted to default. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Scoped Registry setup. What the recommended/appropriate way to modify scripts within a library of a scoped registry?

Thanks!

The 2.007 SDK has improved the memory shared mode.
it's not based on CPU now.
Memory share mode improved
Performance of shared memory functions has been improved by using
multiple pixel buffers to load from and upload to OpenGL textures and
remains a backup where hardware is not texture share compatible.

Hi,

It would be useful to have the UpdateSender function (SpoutSender.h, line 44) from the SpoutSDK available in Unity. This would you mean you don't have to recreate the spout sender when changing sender dimensions.

Thanks, Harvey

Hi.. I'm trying to send 15 cameras from Unity to Resolume Arena 6.

For some reason in Resolume I can only see 10 cameras (the first 5 and the last 5).

Is this a limitation in the Resolume side? or is it a limitation in the Unity Side?

KlakSpout don't send graphic on Unity2018.2 with HDRP.
I can send Image without HDRP.

How to use KlakSpout on HDRP mode?
