Failing to compile latest commit on macOS about ofxndi HOT 9 CLOSED

io.h is for "_access" which is simply to find whether a file exists or not. The change was due to a problem using path functions in shlwapi.dll which fail with Openframeworks 12.0. We can't use an Openframeworks function because the core of the addon must work without it. Can you suggest another function that tests for file existence?

There seems to be access without the underscore. Documentation here

I think is as simple as adding io.h inside the conditional compile of TARGET_WIN32 Similar to this line as _acces method is just called here and is inside a compile conditional that appears here.

Now I see that ofxNDIsender::SetFormat(NDIlib_FourCC_video_type_e format) uses _acces and other windows related functions. I will try to reimplement that for macOS compatibility.

Yes I see.

"_access" is only used for a Windows target and so #include <io.h> can be conditional. I tested it and it works.

The purpose of the file existence check is to allow the NDI dll to be located in the executable folder without depending on runtime installation. The OSX/Linux part just uses the NDI runtime and so there is no need to use "access" or spend any time on it.

I am looking now at a video timecode function. It's a simple change and avoids the need for any overloads. I will find out the result shortly. Can you give me some idea on how you use the timecode value.

from ofxndi.

I fixed the #include <io.h> problem as mentioned. It should still work for OSX because "_access" is not used. At the same time I included two functions in ofxNDIreceive with very little change to the original SendImage functions -

uint64_t GetVideoTimecode() , double GetVideoFrameTime()

I updated the example source and binaries. The receiver shows the received frame interval.

Still not able to compile with latest commit.
Missing a closing curly braces for those lines:

Also you are redeclaring m_hNDILib (already declared in .h file) in

Thanks for the heads up. Meanwhile you can fix these things to get going. This code is kindly contributed and I cant test with OSX. Have a happy new year.

from ofxndi.

Sure! Working well on my branch, posting here so anyone that encounters issues with macos have some more information. Happy new year for you too!

from ofxndi.

After commit 73354d2 compiles correctly on macos.

Thanks!
