it is a weird coincidence that there was silence around this topic and all of a sudden there are two options that pop up. but that’s just how it is sometimes. and i wouldn’t say it is bad at all.
we’d recommend both developers to just go forward with their original plans. @lev could start a new forums thread with a title similar to ‘Funding professional HAP playback for the vvvv community’ and see how many jump on the train. meanwhile AE_HapTools could release a first limited hap player that will solve some basic needs.
time will tell what the two projects will become. all the best and thanks for getting involved!
