Companion caspar module with feedback

General
1

Hi,

I needed some feedbacks and had troubles with playing templates in the Caspar CG companion module so I decided to implement that .
Created a short video where I demo the very basic feedback system I have implemented . It implements feedback by reading the OSC messages that the Caspar cg server emits .
If there is interest I will invest more time with this and make it to a deliverable pull request , if not I will just keep it in my module dev folder

Here is the video with the demo

That would be an great addition to the Companion Caspar Module. Great work there!

Using the OSC feedback to indicate the state of the server seems like a great idea. Please dev this further. One of the things we’ve somehow always had a bit of trouble with is showing the remaining and current playtime of videoclips on multiple channels. There is different software for this, but I often feel it only handles one layer at a time. - Maybe the companion-module could hold this functionality aswell? Primarily indicating when a clips is done for cueing purposes.

Hi ,

I have finally come about doing a version of this in my fork of the module . It supports feedback using OSC for templates only right now , and have a few variables added; connected (not working) , chX_format , chX_framerate and nofChannels , e.g. ch0_format 1080p50

There is a strange thing with template path building that just didn’t work on my Ubuntu server , so I fixed that . It might lead to people of windows servers having problems playing templates . Let me know if that is the case

Here is the repo https://github.com/fa1k3n/companion-module-casparcg-server

Any feedback very welcome . It is still very early in development
