South Africa C4 user Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Great initiative. Mitch’s Renamer driver remains one of my favourite drivers and having another way of doing this is good for the end user... Personal opinion!

South Africa C4 user Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I’ve been playing around with some of BNet solutions drivers over the last couple of weeks and really am impressed. There are some good driver developers out their Chowmain (Alan), Greenfield (Mitch), Annex4, Blackwire themselves, Domosapiens (Paul), Jooced (Shivam), Yatun and Cinegration to name a few. I have added BNet to the list that I look to for cool new drivers and am always pleased when something new appears. I have a number of drivers from each of these developers (some would call some of these driver hacks - but they work for me!) and without the driver developers, Control4 would not be as cool as it is. Apologies in advance to whoever I missed from my list! As I am sure that I have other great drivers from other developers also! tdougray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so then you should be in the clear. Nothing wrong with using getprojectitems. good work! msgreenf, South Africa C4 user and neil12011 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisC4 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Is this driver still functional? I'm having trouble getting anything loaded on T4 using experience button or on desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having trouble getting anything loaded on T4 using experience button or on desktop. I use a number of bNet Solutions drivers (not this one) and they are all working fine, so I would expect that this one is too. Are you saying that the experience button icon is not populating on your T4? A number of experience button drivers have had that problem (on T4s) but are easy to fix. My understanding is that it has something to do with the format of the image (16 bit images not being accepted on T4s and thus the image needing to be changed to 8 bits) but I may well be wrong as I am not a driver developer! Irrespective of what the issue, I would suggest you contact BNet Solutions via the contact details on their website. I have always found Brian to be very responsive and helpful.
