This could be done by setting up a Web Socket connection (TCP) from within the JS file and sending the commands to the server. Should be as simple as that right?
Then would you need a “master communication” layer that is always running and would handle all the recording schedules?
@dylanreeve, I wrote this NodeJS command line app, found here, that is designed to communicate between local graphics and a remote client via Web Sockets. Do you think it would be worth it to add recording start and stop support for your use case? Just sit balling a concept, it could either be trigger locally or remotely. DM me if you need some help setting up the CLI, I have’t added instructions yet.
I think both, recording and automation with JS files, could be a good sections in the CasparCG Guide re-work. @Soprani and @hreinnbeck, would you guys be willing to discuss how and why you setup your server’s the way you did with the rest of the team in the CasaprCG Slack work space?
