Wow. Thread is getting awfully long. At what point does it wrap over to a second page?

Discourse (the forum software) doesn’t paginate.

Instead it loads a subset of posts on a page visit and uses Ajax to bring in more then you get to the bottom (a la Facebook). If you’ve been to a thread before, you start where you left off.

There’s no real need to paginate.

Thanks for the response. But I disagree. I believe there is a need for pagination. Everyone does not enjoy endless scrolling.

HI Vimlesh 1975,
I am interested in purchasing/building a new system to serve the purpose as the platform for Caspar Media Player (Vimlesh 1975 client), equipped with Blackmagic Design DeckLink SDI 4K for a 24 x 7 on Air Playout system.
I read the system recommendation (https://github.com/CasparCG/help/wiki/Server%3A-System-Requirements) but that was dated as last updated on May 2013 and it is for CasparCG Server and Client.
I have a few questions (i) can a AMD Ryzen configured system with a dedicated NVIDIA display card work (ii) or do I have to use an Intel Xeon base system? (iii) Workstation or server (do I need a system with a redundant power supply)? and (iv) Is there an updated turnkey system you can recommend?
Thank you in advance.

Phillp

(i) I tried casparcg output PAL on amd ryzen 5 2400g with decklink duo2 and nvidea gt710 2gb. Worked fine.
(ii) Intel Xeone® CPU E3-1220 v5 @3.00GHZ, 3001 Mhz, 4 logical processor with quadro p2000 works good.

Hi Vimlesh 1975,
Thank you, I will provide feedback on the system I acquire. Thanks again for a great product!

Here is a htmlTemplate module in ‘Others Modules’ menu.
Search button Lists html templates in list box.
After selecting a template, it populates all element which have id and its innerhtml.
Image elements are populated with id and image source value.
For update from this client we need to insert a script in template like below

   <script type="text/javascript">

         function restorestring(str) {
            str = str.replace(/xxx/g, " ");
              str = str.replace(/yyy/g, "'");
            str = str.replace(/zzz/g, '"');
              return str
               }

          function updatestring(str1, str2) {
              document.getElementById(restorestring(str1)).innerHTML = restorestring(str2);
           }

       function updateimage(str1, str2) {
             document.getElementById(restorestring(str1)).src = restorestring(str2);
             }

         function next() {
            gwd.actions.timeline.play('document.body');
          }

      function pause() {
       gwd.actions.timeline.pause('document.body');
     }

    function gotoandplaylabel(label) {
      gwd.actions.timeline.gotoAndPlay('document.body', label);
     }
  </script>

An working Example has been placed there in C:/casparcg/mydata/gwd/v1/gwd_preview_v1/index.html, made in Goggle web designer.
Any template will work from this client If we insert the above script in template.

Hi Vimlesh :slight_smile:
I want to access files in player from the location:
\\10.27.16.16\stornext\studio
this location works on the esplorer windows 10

Unfortunately, such an entry in the configuration file does not work.
<media-path>\\10.27.16.16\stornext\studio</media-path>

Please help me to configure Caspar Server to see files from this location.

122

why don’t you share that location and map here.

123

I’ve mapped these locations but I do not know what to do to see them from the player level.

124

Making shared directory for casparcg media.
On server PCMake a folder on server computer’s D drive. Let us say mymedia
Right click this folder—property—sahring. Share this folder.
Right click on my computer–map network drive. Drive z–Folder= \mypcname\mymedia
Make sub folders on this z drive named video, template, log, thumbnail.
Now modify your casparcg.conÒg Òle as below

    <paths>
  <media-path>z:/video\</media-path>
  <log-path>z:/log\</log-path>
   <data-path>z:/data\</data-path>
    <template-path>z:/template\</template- 
    path>
     <thumbnails-path>z:/thumbnail\ 
     </thumbnails-path>
    </paths>

Now on client PC
Right click on my computer–map network drive. Drive z–Folder= \serverpcname\mymedia
Now run the server on server pc and Client on client pc.

125

In my case, caspar CG and your player work on the same local computer. Only files that I want to play are located on the server.
I mapped the network drive with the media as the S drive on this local computer. But I do not know how to edit the config file to let your player see this network drive

126

Make a video folder on s drive. Then
Tools edit Config file.
Then set media path as
S:/video/

Hi Vimlesh 1975,
I would like to know where do I type in the
"<script type="text/javascript">"
information. It appears to me that you built the HTML template Module examples in PAL and not in HD. I work in 1080 HD and not in PAL. Also, I am also having trouble seeing graphics I built and saved as HTML in this Module. Can you expand some more on the use of what appears to be a great addition to your CMP programme?
Thank you in advance.

If you have following html file and open in notepad-

 <html>
 <head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<div id="f0" style="font-size :40px; color :Red;">Original Text</div>
<img id="image1" src="C:/casparcg/mydata/html/dd.png" />

</body>
</html>

It will work good from this client. But will not update. for updating you need to insert script in between head tag like below-

       <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
        <head>
        <title>Page Title</title>

 <script type="text/javascript">

     function restorestring(str) {
        str = str.replace(/xxx/g, " ");
          str = str.replace(/yyy/g, "'");
        str = str.replace(/zzz/g, '"');
          return str
           }

      function updatestring(str1, str2) {
          document.getElementById(restorestring(str1)).innerHTML = restorestring(str2);
       }

   function updateimage(str1, str2) {
         document.getElementById(restorestring(str1)).src = restorestring(str2);
         }

     function next() {
        gwd.actions.timeline.play('document.body');
      }

  function pause() {
   gwd.actions.timeline.pause('document.body');
 }

        function gotoandplaylabel(label) {
    gwd.actions.timeline.gotoAndPlay('document.body', label);
 }
    </script>
           </head>
          <body>
       
  <div id="f0" style="font-size :40px; color :Red;">Original Text</div>
  <img id="image1" src="C:/casparcg/mydata/html/dd.png" />


        </body>
         </html>

Hi Vimlesh 1975,
Thank you. I will do so.

Google web designer (or any other html software) creates many elements for its internal functioning which have id and we don’t need to update that. So i thought to prefix “ccg” to our intended text element id. Like I modified the element id as
f0->ccgf0
f1->ccgf1

Accordingly I updated the client code also.

133

hi vimlesh,.i would like to know,.

  • is that possible playing and recording on the same time using cmp ?

  • how doing record from two source ?

on extra options there is “-vcodec mpeg4 -g 1” is there any other except this one ?

134

Thank you vimlesh :slight_smile:
I can now play files from the local network.
There is only one more problem …
Files from the local network do not count down time.
Files replayed from the local disk work.
How can I fix it?
