Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this. If you figure out Qlab 5 i'd love that, and even more so if you know how to make buttons for selecting specific cues. Couldn't do it myself with companion.

EDIT: Okay I figured it out for anyone else having this issue in Qlab 5:

Firstly: Network needs to be OSC Message, UDP, automatic local host 53000, set a password

Secondly: There is a tab at the top OSC Access next to Network Outputs, go to this and make sure 'View' 'Edit' and 'Control' are ticked for the password you've put in.

Thirdly: In companion the Qlab presets for play etc are dead as pointed out by 4-11 Sound in comments below. Make your own buttons as Kinetic explains from 9:39

The scrolling feature using the knobs is mint. Thanks!

Thanks for doing this video!
It helped me to restore the Stream Deck, after a Mac OS upgrade to Sonoma it stopped working.

One thing you could add in your video is how 'Configuration Wizard' should be set.
I had a hard time getting the buttons to appear on the stream deck, and it was because I had set "Use Stream Deck software via Companion plugin" in the Wizard. It should be set to "Use Companion natively (requires Stream Deck software to be closed)"

HEllO Team Kintetic Pros, thank you for the video. Very informative, however some stepps in the method are missing still. I understand you need to have a backround in this topic however I am following your stepps and my device is not working. What does it mean This is a local address for current config? Is that the IP address of what? of the Qlab software? of the MAC? Of the Companion. Do I run my laptop on DHCP? Or do I set up the IP that Companion suggests? Maybe someone has an answer with a link for a tutorial on that. Thank you again

I hooked up my stream deck and configured companion according to the video, For some reason Qlab freezes up, when I unplug the stream deck Qlab unfreezes, sometimes I have to shut down the system and reboot, any solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

Saw your stuff and decided that we wanted to take this plunge. But we are having trouble getting it to operate with Qlab 5. Companion and stream deck are all set - we’ve got the connection set there, but it won’t interact with Qlab. Any advice for a small, passionate community theatre?

Is it possible to control the Hue Saturation Value properties of a light fixture via a rotary action?

[tato]

hi, its there a way to put a hotkey trigger?

[grendel]

Is there a way to use stream deck with the cart function in QLab? So each button fires a cart slot?

I´m using Qlab 5.3.6 and Companion 3.3.0 Everyrhing seems connected and buttons are lid, but they don´t do anything in Qlab. Please help.

Appreciate the videos, but it's broken in QLab 5...could you please update and do a connection video with that? I've tried everyting and nothing will work with V5 that I can find.
