[BUG] soundcraft: Multitrack Recording: Stop

[Suenee]

Function soundcraft: Multitrack Recording: Stop does something unexpected. When I call the function, the MTR sitll continues recording and I get errror message:

This is not a bug. You have to use the "Multitrack Recording: Record Stop" action. The "Stop" action does the same as the stop button in the UI which is disabled when recording is active.

Btw, it looks like the record toggle and channel selection work as expected?

Multitrack Recording: Record Stop

Oh, I can already see the difference. I'll admit it's confusing to me. By there being SoundCract: Multitrack Play: *, so if I would expect "STOP" for playback to be in the same group, not under MTR.

If you're asking about #87, I haven't tried it yet because I can't make my own build and I'm waiting for it to come out as an official Companion pack. Is there any way to speed it up / bypass it please?

Thanks a lot for your work! :-)

PS: If it works, I will gladly send a donation of 500 CZK.

Yes, but it's not (yet) as intuitive as it could be. It is always possible to build and test a module manually. However, you need Node.js on your machine for this. If you already have Node.js installed, it should be relatively easy to use the developer version of the module:

• install yarn ( npm i -D yarn)
• create a folder somewhere, e.g. companion-module-dev
• clone the module repo into a subfolder within companion-module-dev
• run yarn inside the module folder
• start Companion and click the cog icon in the top right corner of the main window. A new field "Developer module path" appears. Select your folder companion-module-dev.
• restart Companion
• go to module selection in the Web UI, search for "Soundcraft" and click the help icon on the right side. In the title bar you can see the version number of the module – it should be v3.4.1 or higher to be the right version. If it's e.g. v3.2.0, the version bundled with Companion is used and not your developer version.

If you don't want to install Node.js it is also possible to use a pre-packaged version of the module, see here for all info: https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-base/wiki/Module-packaging

You can download the package here, I created it just now: companion-module-soundcraft-ui-v3.4.1-pkg.zip

The workflow is almost the same as above. Instead of cloning and installing the repo, just take the contents of the package archive (a folder companion-module-soundcraft-ui) and put it into the companion-module-dev folder.

All these things are rather recommended for module development. Please only rely on the modules that come packaged with Companion.

so if I would expect "STOP" for playback to be in the same group, not under MTR.

Since the buttons are all next to each other in the Soundcraft Ui web app, I'd like to keep them under the same group. However, I renamed them and gave them a description.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate this! 😊
