First time posting here.  Have a gig on Saturday so I'm hoping to figure this out. 

I'm using:
Ableton Live 9
MacBook Pro 2.8 i7 with OS 10.11.5
MAX 7.2.3 with Mira
iPAD Air 2 (model MGTX2LL/A) with OS 9.3.4
iConnect Audio4+ Interface

Using MIRA to control both a Stand-alone Max patch and a custom M4L device in Ableton.

Works great! Except, when I change apps on the iPad I get a momentary audio dropout on any audio files being played by Ableton as well as live inputs.  I have tried a straight WiFi internet connection and a local network...same result.

It's almost as if MIRA has to reconnect whenever I change apps. I looked for a "run in background" setting but did not see one.  Other apps allow flawless switching without dropouts.

Phil, sorry to resurrect a dead thread (especially whilst offering no help), curious to know if you resolved the issue.

Switching to MIRA from other apps causes audio dropouts

Hi there, 

i was wondering if anyone is having the same problem or if it has something to do with my input device. 
When i move my fingers off the edges of the screen, mira.multitouch keeps the removed finger as an active circle on the border (move state = 2). So the count of fingers increases as soon as i put my finger back on the screen again – increasing the fingercount steadily until it reaches the maximum of 12.

There is no reset / clear message for the mira.multitouch, so i can only delete the entire mira.multitouch object at this point and make a new one, which makes it unusable :/ 

Any help? 

Further Details: 
- I'm using the miraweb version on chrome
- using an android smartphone as multitouch input
- always occours, independently of the mira.multitouch size to the mira.frame or the mira.multitouch distance to the physical boarder of the phone

Hey, same problem here, but it happens on IOS, both on iPhone and iPad using miraWeb. I do have the MIRA app on my iPad (I am using miraWeb for my students) and there the problem does not happen. So I guess it has to do with the browser 

Hi Flo B and Stefano, thank you, I can reproduce this on mobile chrome and will get this ticketed with engineering — interestingly, I see this behavior specifically on chrome. If I view the same miraweb frame using safari, it works as I'd expect. 

If you have more info (like other browsers you've tested on, other devices) you can share, feel free to post it here or send it in an email to support@cycling74.com

I can reproduce it also in safari  ('normal' iPad 10.2" 2020)


Hi Alex, sorry for the long wait. I've currently only tested it as described in the first post. 
It's to this day still an issue I'm affraid,  but I'll try my way around using a different browser :) 
Thanks for the effort,  
Cheers

BUMP! anybody has a solution to the problem? Each semester I'd love to show multitouch to my students but this issue makes it unreliable...
Cheers
Stefano

there seems to be a problem also with the mt.rotate, there is no output for radians and the angular velocity has very low and jittery values. I am always speaking about mira web, all is fine when using the app. Problem seems to be the same with safari, chrome and firefox


Hi Stefano, thank you for following up here. I've bumped the fingercount issue for engineering, and made a new ticket to track the [mira.mt.rotate] issue, which I can reproduce.  

Hey, same issue here, except on iOS, affecting miraWeb-enabled iPhone and iPad. On my iPad, when I use MiraWeb for my students, the MIRA software, the issue does not occur. So I suppose the browser is to blame.

When adding mc.meter to presentation it works and behaves nicely. But on Mira it only displays the first meter and only horizontally.

When opening a patch written on a MacOs Catalina 10.15.7 in Monterrey 12.4 I get the error message Mira.frame no such object.
Mira and miraweb are installed on the new computer. Any clues what is causing this?

Hello!
I'm solid with max but I'm pretty clueless about node.
From my research it seems like we can delete files with node.
Does anyone have an example or suggestion on where to look?
Thank you
Ben

Hello!
I'm solid with max but I'm pretty clueless about node.
From my research it seems like we can delete files with node.
Does anyone have

delete-a-file-with-node-for-max

I'm doing more research and I found the filesystem page of the Node for Max overview.
However, when I send a 'rm' command to node, I get an error saying 

'node.script: Node script not ready can't handle message rm'

If you can't manage to run node script ??? , try to use shell object.
it needs absolute path to file to delete, slash based.
If this is to delete sfrecord files, you could use savedialog to make file
in first place, and use same path to delete it later.

Option 2 is to record into buffer, if recording is not that long,
then crop and write buffer if you want to keep recording.


Here's something I adapted from the Node4Max overview.

As far as I can tell, I should be able to drop a file in the patcher, and have Node delete it, but I get an error.

check path.
all this shell based objects need slash based path

This won't work:
"Mac Hd:/Users/user/Desktop/File to delete.rtf"
this does:
"/Users/user/Desktop/File to delete.rtf"

Read conformpath help, and set it according to
OS used.
on Mac :


By the way - using node forces one to use CEF framework,
which then makes Standalone apps much bigger size.
Using shell object instead is much easier.

Hello, 
I'm trying to expose a simple max patch (bangs and message boxes) via mira outside the local network.
I'm aware of portforwarding issues (e.g., https://youtu.be/NUbr4IPSDz4), I've been trying the 07-tunneling example in the Xebra.js package, and I could successfully expose the max patch via virtual network such as ZeroTier, although the last solution requires that all the clients sign in the network. 

Instead, I need to provide the user with a direct URL. My current attempts are the following:

Using localtunnel:  lt -p 8086 -s webinterface -o
I open a tunnel to mira on port 8086 and open the browser at URL https://webinterface.localtunnel.me
The connection page to miraweb is correctly displayed, yet when I try to connect, I have the following errors

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://webinterface.loca.lt/' was loaded over HTTPS, but attempted to connect to the insecure WebSocket endpoint 'ws://webinterface.loca.lt:8086/'. This request has been blocked; this endpoint must be available over WSS.

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to construct 'WebSocket': An insecure WebSocket connection may not be initiated from a page loaded over HTTPS.

localtunnel returns an HTTPS address, so I tried using ngrok for http only

Using ngrok: ngrok http 8086
ngrok returns both http and https links. I open the http link, the mira connection page is correctly displayed, yet the connection times out

WebSocket connection to 'ws://a166affc8f13.ngrok.io:8086/' failed: Error in connection establishment: net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I think there might be different issues at stake (first, I'm not an expert I must say), and I cannot figure out any workaround at the moment. 
Any help / hint / comment is really appreciated.
Best,
Stefano

Hi Stefano, I know your post is old but I am having similar issues both with the exact code from this tutorial and also a patch/client code of my own. I can't find any similar threads

Did you ever solve this problem?

If not - maybe somebody else knows how to make a WSS connection with Xebra.js?

I don;t have the option of running HTTP because I am trying to use accelerometer data, which will be blocked unless the client page is secured. So the mixed content message seems inevitable unless Xebra can deal with a secured websocket.

I just tried out the new version of Mira, and all of the mira.frame windows on my ipad are now slightly bigger than the screen. They fit side to side, but not top to bottom. I can't see any settings that might affect this.
What's happened?

could you explain the issue on the 11" iPad? I'm currently thinking about whether to get the 11" pro or 12,9" pro. But when I read that the 11" has issues I'm afraid the 12,9" will also have problems. 

By the way,  do you have by chance any experience with the iPad sizes factor for music? I have never used Mira so far and I'm leaning toward the 11" at the moment, because I want to use it not only in the studio and 11" is already a lot bigger than the old iPad.  Sure, bigger screens are nice but the 12,9" i's already pretty big and a lot more expensive. I'm a bit afraid to decide eventually for the wrong size and regret it when I use Mira on it.

Hello everyone!
As I wrote in the title, Mira is unable to detect these gestures. Yesterday I was working without problems and all the messages were sent correctly but today swipe and tap are not detected by any device (ipad, cellphone, browser).

So what about adding draw mode to a umenu, with the full list of options. How would I do that? So far I can't find a way. Still looking.

I'm remaking my vorTEX visual music app in 8.1 from scratch. It began in Max 4 in 2008 and then developed in 5 and 6 before it crumbled under OS X and Max upgrades from 2014-2019 with fps from 24 to 7.

I'm getting 60 fps now with a movie at dim 20 x 20. As I've added sliders for brcosa, a umenu for gridshape  and brought it all over to MIRA so it can be performed on my iPad and Space Navigator, I still have almost 40 fps at a dim of 200 x 200 (I need high res for my visuals).

Working with GL2 for now there are some issues I'd like help with, if someone is able:

1. Found a working umenu for gridshapes in the patch for Day 10 of Physics Patch-a-day, FIZZ dynamic boundaries. Connected it with prepend shape to jit,gl.gridshape -  and it works. 

2. Now I need to find a way to bring over the draw modes - all 16 of them - with adjustable line width, point size (I prefer circular to square points, but that may not be possible) and scale, as well as rad_minor for torus. They all appear in the patch in presentation mode, but not on my iPad.
