Specialist Software for Theatre TV and events

This software is available for MacOS and iOS devices. It's purpose is to completely control the video and audio output of the device through OSC. On the macOS version everything is set up form the preferences menu. The idea is that you lock the computer with showplay running, and thereafter what is displayed (images of videos) or heard (audio files) on the mac is controlled by OSC from another networked computer.

It's not intended to be a general purpose media player, or to have much in the way of control from the app itself.

A total mess

A confusing mess of an app with zero support, awful inaccessable controls that are hidden in weird loacked away menus that end up not making the blindest bit of difference anyway.

A waste of money and I will be seeking a refund.
