I'm possibly being dumb but I cannot find the Test Project, without which I have no idea where to start with this excellent looking plugin.
I imported the latest Unity Assets bundle but the Test project didn't come with it and I can't find it to download elsewhere.

There needs to be a way to access servers by UUID as an app like AirServer has the same names for multiple windows.

I tested your plugin successfully on my Macbook Air M1 in the editor and also standalone OS X build. I start a server inside of my application and stream a RenderTexture. I'm able to receive the videostream using Syphon Client in the build as well as in the editor.
I just deployed to the AppStore and when I'm downloading my app through the AppStore, Syphon is not working. The Syphon Client app don't find the Syphon server of my application anymore.

Any idea what could cause it?
I would assume it's a problem about the network permission.
I also added the entitlements "server" and "client" to my app in XCode before uploading the build.

Hi,

I realise this is a bit of a weird question, but the problem I'm having is that Unity seems to only work with a single display on Metal API as of now. With the OpenGL API I can use multiple displays...
Do you have any idea for a workaround to get syphon and multiple displays at the same time? Or could you share some insight in how to make syphon work for OpenGL ?

Thanks!

Works in Camera Capture mode, but when switching to RT mode, Syphon Server sends empty image. RT looks good on Unity side.

Running Unity 2019.3.2f1 on Mac OSX 10.14.5. Player is set to Metal.

Hello and thanks as always for the latest update and your prolific work!! The server list functionality and silicon servers are working flawlessly for me!

I do still have an issue when connecting a client to a server from Resolume Arena This is a very popular application in the live visuals world, but still currently runs under Rosetta. If i build a client for silicon target it will crash when connected to Resolume (sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes) If I switch build to Intel everything works as expected

This can be re-created by just adding a SyphonClient and overriding an object texture (no external scripts)

software for testing this can be acquired here https://resolume.com/download/ (smaller "no footage" download is at the bottom left of the page)

let me know if I can help any further to recreate or debug this ssue

Thanks Again!

Hi,
the Syphon client script coming with the release is crashing unity on osx 10.13.2.
I tried on fresh project, same behavior.

I am using a master version prior to the release with no crashes

HI,
I can't get this to work and would need some help.
I would like to send syphon from Resolume and map it's output onto a 3d object in unity.

Steps so far:

• open Resolume Avenue and select texture sharing (syphon) as an output
• open Unity 2021.2.5f1
• create a new 3d scene
• Assets > Import Package > Custom Package : Select and import all from KlakSyphon.unitypackage
• Window > Klak > Syphon Server List : 1 server(s) found. Avenue / Composition
• Then what?

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried this plugin in my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012 - OS Catalina 10.15.5) with Unity 2020.3.4 and it works fine. However, it stopped working when using Universal RP. As soon as i set up a profile in PlayerSetting > Graphics it stopped working.

@keijiro Do you know if it would work with other Render Pipelines apart from the standard (built-in) one? Any ideas why it wouldn't work with URP?

Thanks in advance!

OS: MacOS 12.6.1
Unity Version: 2021.3.16f
Klak Syphon version: 0.0.4
Project settings: HDRP, Metal renderer

Issue: When attempting to use Klak Syphon clients only receive blank ("black") frames.

Steps to reproduce:
1: Create a new project with Unity 2021.3.16 from the HDRP core examples.
2: Add Keijiro to the scoped registry and add Klak Syphon from the package manager.
3: Assign the "Syphon Server" script to the main camera
4: Open a Syphon client app (such as Simple Client) and connect to the Unity syphon stream

Expected Result: Client viewer should display frames matching the Unity camera view

Actual Result: Client viewer displays only black frames

Dear Keijiro,

I'm using the recent version of Klak Syphon with Unity 2018.3.4f1 Metal on OSX 10.14

The Klak Syphon Server works fine on a standard render pipeline, but the moment I swith to either High Definition or Lightweight Render pipeline - the Klak output video stream goes red and generally not much more happens.

Is there any setting I'm unaware of or the sriptable render pipeline is just not supported?

Kind Regards

Any chance of an updated version?

MacOS Monterey wants to throw the current versions plugin bundle in the bin. I've tried building it myself in xcode, building an apple silicon version so I can use it with silicon version of Unity editor, but I havent succeeded in making a version that works rather than giving me missing dll errors in recent Unity versions.

Thanks.

Hey Keijiro,
I wonder about the Receiver (like KlakSpout SpoutReceiver) ?
Is there any roadmap for that ?

Hi!
I have been using your asset successfuly on osx 10.13.2 unity 2018.1.0b11
tho i noticed that the stream was way much more contrasted on the syphon client side than the original stream. Is it something you experience too on your side ?

thanks!

I ran it according to the contents you uploaded
I got the following error message.
I can't find a solution, so I'm posting content to get help.

DllNotFoundException: KlakSyphon
Klak.Syphon.SyphonServer.Update () (at Assets/Klak/Syphon/Runtime/SyphonServer.cs:99)

I'm using VDMX5 syphon output. I've tested with QC, and VDMX5 is sending successfully.

Then I open the Test Scene (Software already set to VDMX5), do nothing, Hit play, but nothing happened.

Do I need to do some more setup in unity? Or KlakSyphon just can't work with Unity2018.2.2f1?

I am wondering if there is any implementation in this plugin to get the names of all available servers. I am able to select specific servers by name, but I am wanting to make a GUI that is populated by all available servers. If this is already available I'm not sure how to use it. Is there any tool that can work similar to SpoutManager.GetSourceNames() from your Unity Spout plugin?

Thanks for all your great work on these!

Hi and thanks for this great package.
I encountered an issue. Steps to reproduce: Create new project, add particle system and add a cube, put syphon server on camera and enable alpha. Open Syphon Recorder (or another app that supports syphon with transparency e.g. madmapper) and there is a blank screen. Particle system does not show up but other game object displays fine.

I am on latest klaksyphon and latest unity

What can this be and is there a workaraound?

Hi,
I added klak to the main camera but the syphon signal its sends its blank. Tryied on Arena and also to simpleclient from Syphon website...same results
using Unity 2018..

Any advice is much apreciatted

Thnks!

Hi, I'm new to Unity and VJ.
I use Syphon in HDRP scene but it only showed up black result.
I'm wondering if this package have any possible work in HDRP?
Thanks a lot!

I notice al UI TextMeshPro elements are broadcasted blurry.
Changing the texture size when creating a new SDF font seems to affect how Syphon sees it, but no matter what size I try none looks sharp.

Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, I got the similar problem with other issue. #12

When I send a RenderTexture in the format of RenderTextureFormat.ARGB32, RenderTextureFormat.ARGBHalf or RenderTextureFormat.ARGBFloat, the receiver shows red texture.
RenderTextureFormat.Default is working here.

Hello,

thank You for this super useful package...

In Unity 2018.2.11f1 on Mac Os 10.13.2 High Sierra - when I try to use Klak Syphon by putting Syphon Server (Script) from the RUntime folder onto a Main Camera object I get the following errors:

Assertion failed on expression: 'metal::g_Device'
Klak.Syphon.SyphonServer:Plugin_CreateServer(String, Int32, Int32)
Klak.Syphon.SyphonServer:Update() (at Assets/Klak/Syphon/Runtime/SyphonServer.cs:105)

ArgumentException: nativeTex can not be null
UnityEngine.Texture2D.CreateExternalTexture (Int32 width, Int32 height, TextureFormat format, Boolean mipChain, Boolean linear, IntPtr nativeTex) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Runtime/Export/Texture.cs:347)
Klak.Syphon.SyphonServer.Update () (at Assets/Klak/Syphon/Runtime/SyphonServer.cs:108)

I can see the server is working in the client app (Millumin) but it shows a black screen with a red rectangle inside upon hitting "Play" in Unity and nothing else happens (Unity does render its graphics in the Game window properly...).

Is this due to Unity version newer than 2018.1 ?

EDIT: Just checked and the same situation happens in Unity 2018.1.8f1 on MacOs High SIerra 10.13.2

Thank You and kind regards

Is it normal that my app is not working when built?
Can't see the stream on mad mapper

If ever will windows support get added to this?

I've used your Unity Spout plugin with AfterEffects as server sending to Unity on Windows 10 which works so well!
I've now been asked to do the same thing on MacOS so I'm using this KlakSyphon in Unity instead, but Unity is not connecting to the server (AfterEffects).

MacOS 12.1 M1 chip
Unity 2021.3.3f1
AfterEffects 2021
Im using this AE plugin: https://tobiasebsen.gumroad.com/l/aesyphon

I've tried running AE with and without Rosetta but Unity Script still can't connect to server.

I can give you a copy of the AE plugin if that would help?

Any ideas why Unity script can't connect?
Any suggestions on what I could try next?

Dear Keijiro,

Thank You for Your continous support of KlaK Syphon.

I wonder if You could help me with this situation:

I'm running a fresh Scene in Unity 2018.3.0f2 , on OSX 10.14. I previously had no problems with running Klak Syphon.

When I place the SYphon Server on My Main Camera I get the following error:

Assets/Klak/Syphon/Runtime/SyphonClient.cs(75,34): warning CS0649: Field 'SyphonClient._nullTexture' is never assigned to, and will always have its default value null

The camera screen output of Klak Syphon is blank - however the Syphon input is detected in third party software working as Syphon Clients.

The same problem persists after I build the application.

Please find the LOG file attached

Any Help would be very appreciated.

Kind Regards
