ProTools with x jadeo

[brainburst1]

can't get it to work. anyone have recipe?

I'm also having problems here.

It appears that pro tools is outputting the MTC correctly.

I went to an older version of windows 10 and it worked, maybe its a problem between windows and xjadeo.
Then I restored windows to version 1903 and it stopped working again.

I don´t understand how to manually choose the midi port. Sorry, but I'm kind of a newbie in programming.

Thanks a lot for any help! :)

** EDIT **
Updated windows 10 to version 1909 and now it works! :)

Still trying to figure out how to make Xjadeo follow my cursor when not playing back. Maybe some setup in pro tools, but any hint is appreciated.

** EDIT 2 **
It was working just fine but suddenly stopped working in the middle of session.
I stopped the playback, went to another program to check some notes, switched back to pro tools, hit play and now Xjadeo doesn't sync anymore.
Already checked that pro tools is sending the MTC correctly and the settings at Xjadeo are also correct.
Tried rebooting already with no success.

Having the ability to select the midi channel would be really awesome!

I think i figured it out!

finally i discovered how to use the commands on the manual to control the xjadeo.
it musst be done via comand prompt (cmd)

I think the problem was that xjadeo was not connecting to the right midi port.
i have no ideia when there are more then one midi ports wich one xjadeo chooses automaticaly.

so here is the (temporary) workaroud:
- open cmd

• type: "cd [path where the xjadeo.exe ist" (in my case "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\xjadeo")
  (it gives me a error msg, im probably doing this the worst way possible, but im not very familiar with cmd)

• type: start xjadeo (and here you can put whatever setting/option you want from here: http://xjadeo.sourceforge.net/xjadeo.html"
  So here you have first to check the number of the port pro tools is sending the MTC to:
  "start xjadeo -d PORTMIDI -v -m -1"
  Just to explain, here you are telling xjadeo to use the driver PORTMIDI (windows midi driver) with the -d comand and to display the midi ports (as in the manual: "use ’-v -m -1’ to list midi ports.")

then you have to check and take note of what port you want to use and select it.

-close the xjadeo and redo everything but instead of "-v -m -1" you now tell xjadeo to select the port you want:
-type: "start xjadeo -d PORTMIDI -m (number of the port you want)"
in my case "start xjadeo -d PORTMIDI -m 2"

Then it worked with me.
I hope it helps!

Now the question is, how to make this permanent?

I dont get where i should put the "xjadeoorc" confirguration file. (i assume its a .txt)
and i couldnt find the example configuration file as well...

Any helps on the matter?

so far the only (terrible) work around i could find ist to make a shortcut or batch file with CMD commands to open the xjadeo with the right midi port selected.

just create a blank shorcut and specify the path to:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k cd C:\Program Files (x86)\xjadeo & start xjadeo -d PORTMIDI -m 2
(you probably have to modify some path or change the value of the port ("2" at end) to make it work at your windows)

Again, you are a genius!!! A sincere thank you for saving my workflow!! Protools video engine is fantastically bad
