Companion will show time remaining by "firstByIndex" but not layer name

BW_NGBW_NG
in MAIN

I have put the layer name in the "Name of the layer to track time" field in the connections settings and it the expression variable name shows the updated variable name (it now reads: $(millumin:media_BUMPER_remainingTime) because I changed the field to BUMPER but it's always just zero. The firstByIndex works fine but not by name for some reason.

Companion (4.2.4) and Millumin (5.14d) are both up to date and all other interactions and feedbacks work properly.

    Hello @BW_NG,

    Try to put the name of the layer in "Name of the layer to track time" in lower case. It might be case sensitive, and as all OSC message are case insensitive, this might be a problem.

    Please note that we are not the ones developping this module for Companion, despite we participated to it. If this bug is confirmed, please submit an issue on Github.

    Best. Philippe

    Lower case solved it, thank you!!

    My testing has showed it's not just case sensitive, as the case did match for both companion "Name of the layer to track time" and the Millumin layer when it was all caps or mixed case, it requires only lower case to be put in the "Name of the layer to track time" field work. The case of the Millumin layer doesn't matter but the companion case must always be lower case.


    Thanks again!
