Scripting error question

[djjedidiah]

Ok I'm trying to get the hang of simple scripting but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm just trying to get simple volume control first and then work up from there and this is in my log:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings,

I too am new to MIDI remote script authoring. I started with what appeared as the simplest possible control surface based upon this example:
http://remotescripts.blogspot.com/2010/ ... asses.html

I get the same error as you. I wonder if you have solved this problem yet. I will be looking at this code again this weekend when I have more time to play around.

Here is the sample code and logs:
============================
__init__.py
============================

Code: Select all

# http://remotescripts.blogspot.com

from Transport import Transport

def create_instance(c_instance):
    return Transport(c_instance)

============================
Transport.py
============================

Code: Select all

# http://remotescripts.blogspot.com
# This is a stripped-down script, which uses the Framework classes to assign MIDI notes to play, stop and record.

from _Framework.ControlSurface import ControlSurface # Central base class for scripts based on the new Framework
from _Framework.TransportComponent import TransportComponent # Class encapsulating all functions in Live's transport section
from _Framework.ButtonElement import ButtonElement # Class representing a button a the controller

class Transport(ControlSurface):

    def __init__(self, c_instance):
        with self.component_guard():
            ControlSurface.__init__(self, c_instance)
            self._transport = TransportComponent() #Instantiate a Transport Component
            self._transport.set_play_button(ButtonElement(True, 0, 0, 61)) #ButtonElement(is_momentary, msg_type, channel, identifier)
            self._transport.set_stop_button(ButtonElement(True, 0, 0, 63))
            self._transport.set_record_button(ButtonElement(True, 0, 0, 66))

Greetings,

I found the solution for my simple problem here on the ableton forum:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=200513&start=0

I posted a question to that thread here:
viewtopic.php?p=1629556#p1629556

Here is what Raztua wrote

Code: Select all

from __future__ import with_statement #compatibility for Live 9, need to be written at the first line of the script
import Live #you import Live, in order to be able to use its components
from _Framework.ControlSurface import ControlSurface # importthe Controle surface module

class sparkLE2(ControlSurface):          # create a class element 
    __module__=__name__                  #name of the class
    __doc__="Sparkle function"           #documentation 
    
    def __init__(self, c_instance):                #initialize the sparkLE2 class as a ControleSurface
        ControlSurface.__init__(self,c_instance)   #import the components of a ControlSurface
        with self.component_guard():               #don't know the us of this, but it is recquiered in live 9 scripts
            self.__c_instance = c_instance         

Hope that helps.

Hello,
I, like many others, have come down the remote scripting trail on the net (thanks to those who have done the de-compiles and discussions),
and arrived at this failure.
I am using Live 9.7.5.1 and trying the earlier info provided here, but receiving the same error:

12281 ms. RemoteScriptMessage: (ProjectX) Initialising...
12282 ms. RemoteScriptMessage: (ProjectX) 06.12.2017 08:25:50--------------= ProjectX log opened =--------------

12296 ms. RemoteScriptError:

12296 ms. Exception: Script could not be loaded.

Not showing all the import stuff, but the script starts with
from __future__ import with_statement #compatibility for Live 9, need to be written at the first line of the script

Here's the code up to the call to setup where I'm using TransportComponent
(It gets past the log message - as in log content above...)
class ProjectX(ControlSurface):
__module__ = __name__
__doc__ = " ProjectX - Novation reMOTE keyboard controller script "

def __init__(self, c_instance):
ControlSurface.__init__(self, c_instance)
with self.component_guard(): #don't know the us of this, but it is recquiered in live 9 scripts
self.__c_instance = c_instance
self.log_message(time.strftime("%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S", time.localtime()) + "--------------= ProjectX log opened =--------------")
# Writes message into Live's main log file. This is a ControlSurface method.
self._setup_transport_control() # Run the transport setup part of the script


Anyone know what's required w/the newer versions - like mentioned?

TIA
