Annex C contains a list of allowed characters for Names but the editor doesn't seem to validate that. I have found one GDTF file where this causes trouble: https://fixturebuilder.gdtf-share.com/load/?rid=105266 The XML contains the following: <DMXChannel DMXBreak="1" Geometry="clip. 7" Highlight="None" InitialFunction="clip. 7_ColorAdd_R.ColorAdd_R.ColorAdd_R 1" Offset="34"> The InitialFunction attribute contains `clip. 7_ColorAdd_R.ColorAdd_R.ColorAdd_R 1` which contains an additional `.` from the first Name. Would be great if the editor would enforce that so the InitialFunction can properly be split as it is otherwise ambiguous.

Helo all, MVR and GDTF will again be at the LDI show this year. Stop by the GDTF booth #4505 for live demos of the new MVR-xchange - a powerful new way to share your design files quickly and effortlessly across your network. We’re hosting an exclusive session for manufacturers on Dec. 8 from 5-6pm at the GDTF booth #4505. Get the latest updates and insights on GDTF developments, connect with industry peers, and enjoy free drinks and snacks. LDI Registration is available here.

Hi @sl1200mk2, yes, this has been done already in the spring, when you check the Remember me button, the GDTF Share and the GDTF Builder stop logging you out after short while: cheers Petr

From the MVRtoKuma, i have created a more general network scanning tool to find devices via ArtPoll and create complete MVR with named Layers, GDTF files, addresses. PollToMVR A tool to perform network discovery via ArtNet - ArtPoll and to save found devices in an MVR (My Virtual Rig) scene file. https://github.com/vanous/PollToMVR Uses pymvr to write fixtures to MVR files Provides Graphical Terminal User Interface Uses ArtPoll based device network discovery, can parse DMX Address and Universe from device description if present Creates named Layers Uses the GDTF Share Fixture Library for GDTF fixture definitions in MVR

For monitoring of network fixtures, i needed to move data quickly between the planning and the monitoring... enter MVRtoKuma: MVRtoKuma A tool to quickly create monitors in Uptime Kuma https://uptime.kuma.pet/, from fixtures defined in a MVR https://gdtf-share.com/ (My Virtual Rig) scene file. https://github.com/vanous/MVRtoKuma Uses pymvr to read/write fixtures from/to MVR files Uses Uptime Kuma (version 1 is supported) API for programmatic access Provides Graphical Terminal User Interface Uses ArtPoll based device network discovery to create and/or auto-import an MVR file with list of devices discovered on the network Creates Kuma tags from scene Layers and from fixture Classes and Positions Creates Kuma monitors, marked with the above mentioned tags, allowing grouping in Uptime Kuma Provides an MVR Merging tool, allowing to merge IP addresses from one MVR file (for example created by the Network Discovery) with another scene file - typically the main planning file. The fixture matching is based on fixture UUIDs or on DMX Universe + Address Bulk delete of Uptime Kuma, monitors and tags - all, or only those matching from an MVR import

Hi, would it be possible to set the login time a little bit longer (1 hour at least) ? best regards, nicolas

Hi guys, yes, as per my email last night, the issue was resolved. While the server was running correctly, for some reason, the buffer containing the data got empty. We will add a test for this in the future.

Works again! Would be interesting to know what happened that caused this.

Same problem on my side. I thought I was doing something wrong with the API call, but it's apparently on their side then. Hopefully it can be resolved quickly!

Hey, I just noticed that the GDTF share API (https://gdtf-share.com/apis/public/getList.php) returns an empty list since today. {"result":true,"list":[]} I get the same result with two different accounts and if I use the API programmatically through URLSession or just open the URL in Safari. Would be great if someone could have a look into what has been changed and rollback or fix it.

Hello, sure, use the three dots menu (1), either change status (2) to work in progress to make the file private and hidden (3) or you can delete it (4):

Thank you so much! I do have another question. Every time I saved I didn't realize it was publishing. Is there a way for to delete all the different revisions I've made?

Hello @parkb096, to set the fixture to work as a wash, set the Beam Geometry → Beam Type to Wash:

Good evening everyone, I'm in the process of creating a wash fixture profile for an Artfox beam wash 19e. I've gotten most everything to work except for strobe and macros but what I'm more concerned about is getting the fixture to work as a wash rather than a spot fixture. Any tips would be greatly appricated. Thanks, Brandon

Hello, the GDTF Builder which we provide is an online version. There are some offline editors in consoles, for example in the gMA3.

Exporting MVR is now implemented: io_scene_mvr

Where can I download it GDTF Builder Offline Editor

Thanks, it's working!

Hello Aleksey, as per my message in the ticketing system, we are already processing your request and will mark your account as a manufacturer, then you can enable the manufacturer page as per this post:

Hi! How can I activate the manufacturer’s page? I’d like to set it up nicely. Also, how can I move our fixtures to the “from manufacturer” section? I have already submitted a request to create the manufacturer’s page and sent our Login ID.

Hello @MA3 YIN, the issue you have is that you created an extra folder called "SAN@FG-78000@9999 - 副本" in the GDTF file. This folder "SAN@FG-78000@9999 - 副本" must not be there: It has to have this structure: Hope this helps
