Extension is ready for initial review
The Blender DEMoCap Tools Addon simplifies the process of importing motion capture animations created by DEMoCap. Both free captures as well as exported captures are supported.
See Wiki Add-On Page for informations on how to import motion capture created with DEMoCap as well as using tools like correction bones.
See Wiki Live-Connection Page for information on how to use live connection support to stream motion capture from DEMoCap directly into Blender without importing.
Fixed problems with bone groups not existing anymore in Blender 4.0
This extension requests the following permissions:
Add-on expects to have access to filesytem.
Add-on expects to have internet access.

Hi, thanks for submiting the add-on.
According to the terms of service this platform requires all the extensions to be self-contained. This add-on is a bit on the edge since its dependency is another add-on hosted on the same platform.
That said, it would be ideal if you could make it fully independent (so e.g., they don't go out of sync). Some ideas:
I could include the export/import extension into this one. I have only one concern with it. If somebody installs also the export/import extension the operator names would clash (since they are global in Blender) leading to problems. On the other hand if I rename the operators to avoid the clashing they would be duplicate potentially confusing the user. What do you think is the best solution for this problem?
This is strange. It uses the same auto-register code. I'll look into it.
Applied the requested fixes and embedded the "Drag[en]gine Import Export" extension in a way it does not conflict (version 1.22.2 or newer)
Hello!
In 4.2 new "Online Access" property was added in preferences. It's a read-only property that Blender and add-ons should refer to. Add-ons that access the internet are now expected to check for bpy.app.online_access
and not connect if user turns it off.
Could you please update your add-on to adapt to that requirement? You can read more here https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.2/python_api/#additions
Live-Connect does not automatically connect to DEMoCap on the LAN. The user has to explicitly press the connect button to initiate a connection. For this reason I think this rule does not apply to this add-on since connections need to be actively initiated by the user.
In some corporate environments Blender will be launched with --offline-mode
. Realistically speaking, in those places people wouldn't be installing "random" add-ons from the internet.
But you do have a point. This is not so different than Blender still launching a User Manual page even if running in offline mode. We will get back to you on this.
