i think you should try do the way i have done it:
First i recommand you to use

Code: Select all

self.song().add_current_song_time_listener(self._song_time_listener)
this seems to be the most precise callback
then in my script it it calls the function:

Code: Select all

    def _song_time_listener(self):
    if self.actual_mode_button==self.mode_buttons[2] or self.actual_mode_button==self.mode_buttons[3] :
        value=self.actual_clipslot.clip.playing_position
        if int(4*value)!=self.blink_position and (int(value) in range(4*(self.pattern_position-1),4*(self.pattern_position))):
            if self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value)-1)%16].status:
                self.turn_led_on(self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value)-1)%16].identifier)
            else:
                self.turn_led_off(self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value)-1)%16].identifier)
            if self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value))%16].status:
                self.turn_led_off(self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value))%16].identifier)
            else:
                self.turn_led_on(self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value))%16].identifier)
        elif (int(4*value))%16!=self.blink_position and (((int(4*value))==16*(self.pattern_position)) or int(4*value)==0):
            self.turn_led_off(self.pattern_buttons[(int(4*value)-1)%16].identifier)
Let me know if you don t get something

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 Transportasi(ControlSurface):
    __module__=__name__                  #name of the class
    __doc__="transport function"           #documentation

    def __init__(self, c_instance):
        ControlSurface.__init__(self,c_instance)   #import the components of a ControlSurface
        self.log_message("ikilho")
        with self.component_guard():               #don't know the us of this, but it is recquiered in live 9 scripts
            self.__c_instance = c_instance

            transport = TransportComponent() #Instantiate a Transport Component
            transport.set_play_button(ButtonElement(True, 0, 0, 48))

How ever i am unable to simulate the return key with a midi inforamtion.
-> I can't add the device to the selected rack.

I have checked the Browser.tags.children etc etc and i am able to load a device using the browser method,

But i am unable to link the View object and the browser object.

if someone has an idea :)
when i try this i keep getting 5301 ms. RemoteScriptError:

5307 ms. RemoteScriptError:
5314 ms. RemoteScriptError: with self.component_guard():

sorted that. "from __future__ import with_statement" was needed. did you ever work out how to simulate the enter/ return key? i can use a keystroke as a workaround but with multiple monitors i have to make sure ableton is my screen in focus with a mouse click. so this can be a bit annoying.

wrote a little script for those who might want to decompile the .pyc to readable .py recursively. Please change the root address according to your settings.
