I think the bigger problem here is that "overloading" is specifically about providing multiple functions with the same name that take different parameters. You cannot truly overload in python, partly because it is weakly typed, an

I received a response stating something similar on the git repo. It is still incorrect to blame the controller, and I suggested instead to provide some compatible drive models to use instead like they already do in the more generic sections

It looks like FFmpeg does support reading from sockets natively[1], I didn't know that. That might be a better solution in this case, I'll have to look into some C code for writing my output to a socket to try that some time. [1]

Not OP, but to provide some historical perspective, RTX hardware raytracing is very firmly a gimmick and it isn't AI nonsense that's going to be the end of it. It's going to go the way of PhysX, 3D Vision, and EAX audio. Cool
