Inconsistent seek/play using MTC/MMC #33

Open mrlimbic opened 5 years ago

mrlimbic commented 5 years ago

I am trying to control Jadeo using my own midi timecode generator but getting very inconsistent behaviour i.e. it sometimes goes to wrong place.

At first I thought my midi code must be wrong but when I also hook up a DAW to my timecode generator at same time the DAW plays and seeks to the right place even when Jadeo is misbehaving.

Is there anything special to know/gotchas? I am also controlling Jadeo using remote control command line interface at same time but that is only for changing text overlays and offsets, not play/stop/seek which is done via MTC/MMC. Could remote control at same time be confusing it in other ways?

An example is when I sent this midi MMC locate [-16, 127, 127, 6, 68, 6, 1, 32, 3, 10, 3, 0, -9] it seeked to 00:07:36:03 instead of 00:03:10:03

This is inconsistent in that sometimes it works fine but other times not. It is working about 75% of the time. It doesn't seem to happen when not using remote control at same time.

Any ideas?
