Renewed Vision Pro Presenter

Companion Module for Renewed Vision's ProPresenter

See HELP.md for instructions

⚠️ Known Issues (v2.5.5):

• Pro7.9.2 (and above) on MacOS: Timers no longer feedback in the old way. To workaround this, enable the option "Timer Polling" in the module config.
• Pro7 Windows - currentPresentation gives library path instead of playlist path!! This can affect some Pro7 Windows users when using new actions for slide by label and group slide. Need to determine a possible workaround as this will not be fixed upstream in Pro7 due to work on a new replacement API

⚠️ Reporting An Issue:

All issues/bugs are reported in tracked in the Issues List on the Github repo.

• First, read the "Change Log" below to see if any new (Beta Builds) have been released after the version you are currently running that addresses your issue. Don't be afraid to download and test a Beta build as many people use the beta builds in production. However Do NOT run a live show without testing ALL your buttons/actions for ALL Companion modules you have installed.

📝 Change Log:

v2.6.0 (Companion v3)

Changed syntaxt to Companion v3. Removed midi listening option.

v2.5.5 (Companion Beta Build ???)

• Added "Timer Polling" option to workaround issue for later versions (>=Pro7.9.2) on MacOS that stopped sending timer feedback - enable this to keep geeting timer feedback in those later versions.
• Re-Added MIDI listener to module enable Companion button press (thanks to an updated easymidi 3.0.1 module). By default it is disabled - you need to enabled in module config. It allows you to send MIDI (Note-On) messages from ProPresenter to Companipn (this module) and it will press a Companion button where the Note-On value => Index of Page and the Note-On Intensity => Index of Button to press

v2.5.4 (This was reverted/removed from beta builds)

• Added MIDI listener to module enable Companion button press. By default it is disabled - you need to enabled in module config. It allows you to send MIDI (Note-On) messages from ProPresenter to Companipn (this module) and it will press a Companion button where the Note-On value => Index of Page and the Note-On Intensity => Index of Button to press

• (New) Full support for dynamically added module vars for all stage screens and clocks (now show in Ui and can be used in triggers etc).

v2.4.1 (Companion Beta Build 3693)

• (New) This version dynamically adds vars for all timers/clocks:
  • $(propresenter:pro7_clock_n) = hh:mm:ss for clock with index n
  • $(propresenter:pro7_clock_n_hourless) = mm:ss for clock with index n
  • (Still keeping old single var $(propresenter:watched_clock_current_time) for backwards compatibility in users setups)

v2.4.0 (Companion Beta Build ????)
