Hello,

Unfortunately, I can’t launch PlusServer with Optitrack.
First, here are the logs I get with PlusServer:

I have Plus Applications version 2.9.0.2023-10-06 (Telemed-Win64)
I have Motive version 2.1.2

I’ve tried changing the AttachToRunningMotive parameter to TRUE and running Motive alongside it, but it doesn’t change anything.

I also saw that here:

you could add

<DataSources>
<DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Stylus" BufferSize="150" />
<DataSource Type="Tool" Id="Probe" BufferSize="150" />

But nothing works. Even if I change the BufferSize value, it doesn’t work either.

The ultimate goal will be to use OptiTrack + TeleMed. I can get TeleMed to work, and I get the video stream. However, I can’t get OptiTrack to work, and I don’t know why.

I can also attach my motiveprofilefile_Maxamed.motive file if needed.

Hello,

I’ve solved my issue. If anyone encounters the same problem, I can share my configuration files.

Best regards.

Thanks for the update. There is no need to share the config file, but if you can describe in 1-2 sentences what was unclear, unexpected, or not well documented then that would be helpful. We could then improve our documentation, tutorials, or examples accordingly.
