OS authentication and Rev apps

2009-09-09 Thread Bill Vlahos
Microsoft, Apple, and Linux allow single sign on authentication for applications and other services. Once you log into the computer the system will authenticate the user into the application. Has anyone done this with a Rev app? If so, how is it done? Bill Vlahos

As far as I know LiveStage Pro/Totally Hip died a couple of years back (last release 2006 for QT6), presumably because each new version of QT broke more and more of the interactive features. Dropping support for Flash tracks was the real killer, but LSP was already dead by then. :-( Ian
