Expected/suggested solution
The error states that it can’t decode a JSON object. So maybe the url (http://pipeline.dev.moddevices.com/maxgen/bundle/) at which the script looks for a JSON file is no longer available. I’m just guessing here. But I would like to hear if there’s something I could do on my end.
Have you heard back anything on this? I can’t seem to get either the Max Duo package or the method you are trying to work either. I am getting the same errors.
With the release of the DUO X, we had some changes in our cloud. The official Max package that can be downloaded from the Max package manager has been updated to support these changes. However, this project has not been updated to support these changes yet. We will have a look at this soon.
If you would like to do any of the advanced steps in the meantime, like changing the ttl and (or) add a GUI, the plugin can still be build with the Max package from the package manager. Once the plugin is built and deployed, it should be located on the device in the directory /root/.lv2/ . The ttl information can be adjusted by entering the device with ssh by running ssh root@192.168.51.1 (the password is “mod”) and adjusting the information there. Alternatively the plugin can also be copied from the device to your computer by going to the terminal and using the following commands:
Now the plugin should be copied to the location that is given at the place of the <local-destination-path> . Once it’s there the changes can be made to the bundle. When the changes are applied the plugin can be deployed to the device again by running:
Is there a way to install the Max package without using the Max package manager?
I am running Max using Wine and everything works except for the package manager -_-
At the moment there’s no way to install the Max package without using the Max package manager.
This possibility got broken and still needs to be fixed.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Keep us posted if you manage to find a workaround.
Dear Bram,
thank you very much for this information. Unfortunately the first part of the procedure work fine, but on deploying command i get an error “no plugin here” and the process quits without success.
Maybe something new appened on this thread?
Now, I’m just trying to change my max gen~ plugin to permit a parameter to be “toggled” 1 or 0 by the footswitches… Maybe there is a fast solution for allowing that?
thank you very much!
Recently we received some reports that the Max Gen deploy steps are not working. It was not yet fixed. I’m not 100% sure, but this may be the reason for your issue.
There are some current know issues with Max gen for MOD devices that we are aware of. Yet we still didn’t find time to get it fixed. Anyway, engaging here may help us pinpointing everything and get it to fix altogether. So thanks for sharing.
More on your particular issue, is this something that you get on the build?
). I’m fixing that soon and will reply here once done.
