Wondering if anyone has had a good experience with any remote screen sharing application that would let you use touch designer over a local area network. Our set-up has our main touchdesigner server is on stage, and we’d like to program on it remotely from the front of house.
We’ve tried tight vnc, microsoft remote desktop and jump desktop so far. Currently, when we go to use value ladders on a variable, the number jumps pretty erratically and is scaled way beyond the movement than we intend. I’ve had this issue for a while and it hasn’t been a big problem in the grand scheme of things, but this show will require a bit more finesse in what we are doing.
Has anyone had success? I am hoping to use something that isn’t having to connect to the internet to verify - I just want to LAN access another computer to program our show.
Remote panel looks like it would let us access our created interface, but what we are looking for is to be able to edit the network remotely over LAN. Most things work, just a few interface things break
Value ladders not working over remote desktop has been an issue for years, I assume it’s a hard thing to fix.
I use one of these options:
KVM switch over IP (ethernet or better fiber if you have the budget)
edit toxfiles remotely and reload them on mediaserver using a shared network drive
rewrite your toe file so that all possible changes you require can be adjusted in parameters(to be controlled remotely via Artnet/Remote Panel/OSC/Web interface whatever) or by loading config files (text/json/whatever) which can easliy be edited and reloaded remotely.
Most likely the issue with remote desktop viewers has to do with them sending absolute cursor position while touchdesigner is expecting a relative position. If the software supports sending relative position instead then that may offer a solution. Will investigate further.
