Runnig script from sequencer crashes SC3.3

[DocHighCo]

Hello,

I was trying to call a Python-Script from the sequencer. I am basically still a Python illiterate. But, even the simplest of scripts ("Hello world!") or the call of an empty script crashes Sharpcap. From the scripting tab it works with "Run script ...".
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Calling the sequencer from a script however works.
I made a little script to platesolve and recenter automatically while livestacking gets paused:

Code: Select all

import time
import System

m = 25 
i = 0

while True:
	while (i < m):
		l = SharpCap.LiveStacking.StackedFrames
		k = SharpCap.LiveStacking.StackedFrames 
		i = i + 1	
		print i, k
		
		while (k == l):
			time.sleep(1)
			k = SharpCap.LiveStacking.StackedFrames		
				
	SharpCap.LiveStacking.Parameters.Pause()
	SharpCap.Sequencer.RunSequence("MOUNT SOLVEANDSYNC")
	time.sleep(5)
	SharpCap.LiveStacking.Parameters.UnPause()
	i=0

Pretty crude, but I am not a Python pro. I tried it on a simulator. I still have to try in real.

Hi,

thanks for the report, it looks like the new code to show the progress of the sequence wasn't happy with the fact that the step that runs the Python has an indeterminate estimate for the length of time it will take. I will have that fixed in the next version – also working out a way to make sure that if there is an error in the Python then it will be reported back to the sequencing.

Cheers, Robin

Calling a script from the sequencer seems to work now in the new version. Thanks Robin.

Hi,

good to hear that it's working for you - it was sadly just a silly error.
