There is NodeJS and NodeCG. AFAIK with NodeCG you do not build templates in the sense we use it in Caspar, they kind of build a website that is displayed as a whole inside a layer in Caspar. NodeJS is a JavaScript library.
This may not be the best solution if you donāt have that much experience with NodeJS but, I wrote a post on how to setup a basic HTTP server with Websocket support here. Here is a shameless plug for an HTML template guide as well. It will get you up and running with custom / dynamic HTML templates.
Hi, I use the xml way with flash templates and actionscript.
Iām working in motorport and the time keeper share a xml file with all the data.
No problem with refresh rate over 10Hz but no need to go faster.
Unfortunally sometimes I experience some template crash, related to the xml load somehow.
I guess the problem occur when the template read the file when is being written, or something similar.
Are HTML templates better than Flash templates - or itās just personal preference?
I want to try and make a template for a client who has scoring software which outputs data as XML, and while Iāve managed to create the template in Flash - I didnāt know if itās better to make in HTML?
Once I know what templates I should making, then I can learn how to get the data into them!!
You should do them in HTML. Flash is EOL.
Balls. Well it was fun learning the Flash methodā¦
Time to get my head round HTMLā¦ Iāve got a little bit of experience over the years so hopefully that can be applied!!
