Simple Video Playout

Thanks for your work on getting this together, Vimlesh1975.

I am new around here but am looking forward to try this client out. Looks very impressive!

Cheers
Chumby

EDIT - Been trying all night but I cant get the video feed to appear in the right hand window. I have made the consumer in focus and selected IN next to it, but the video will not display. It is still displaying in the normal caspercg output screen that comes with the server. Any help appreciated!

May be you did not selected the the video mode you are using. The default is PAL there.

Yes, I have selected Pal. Is the video suppose to be showing in the caspar cg playout window as well?

The same casparcg screen consumer will fit in the client software. It is for move with client software and to prevent hiding behind.

Hi, How do you do that. Drop and drag doesn’t work, and the video_plyout app doesn’t pick up that server window when I start it.

I am using a 4k screen - will that make a difference?

Cheers,
Chumby.

In the template module there is a “next step” button. It sends the command like “cg 1-96 next 96”
This triggers a “continue” in the template on the specified layer. This is used to control animations that has multiple discreet steps.
It is not meant for next template to play.

Hi, I have installed windows 10 and I have the problem that I do not have video output from the decklink studio 2 card (audio if there is one).
I installed the latest drivers for the Geforce 210 card. In Windows 7 everything worked perfectly with the same configuration.
Has someone else happened to this?
Here I leave the error log of open gl and I can not think of how to solve it.
Any advice?

I see there is no decklink output configured in the config file. To add decklink output at run time go to Tools–>add output menu.

Thank you Vimlesh for your quick response.
In effect, its indication works.
Although every time I close and reopen the server and the client must do the same operation this can be avoided ?.
In addition, the audio of the Decklink output is echoed as if it were played twice with a small delay one with respect to the other.
I have reviewed the configuration of the Decklink and I think it is fine.
Thanks again

You should use a configuration file that has decklink card configured for output. For this copy the config file from “C:\casparcg\mydata\Caspar_Cg_Configurations\01_One channel Player” folder and paste it into server folder.

For the echoed problem choose another device than decklink for system audio.

Thank you
I have already corrected the audio problem in the sound configuration of W10.
I have also copied the config file and now everything is fine. I will test the rest of the modules.

Can RSS crawl be set to look like breaking news?

  1. RSS feed has been added to show like breaking news also.
  2. Breaking news template has been modified to show after shrinktofit. A class stf has been made and added to this.

hi vimlesh
does your software support FMLE stream

  1. FMLE takes input from device. So playing from CMP and taking output from first card and taking this as input from second card in FLME will work.

  2. FLME gives output to a rtmp mount point. Mount point have an URL. caspar can play any URL. And in CMP if we put this url in playlist, it will play.

thanks vimlesh

@vimlesh1975 Good work. This client is very intuitive. but seems it’s 32bit. It would be great to have 64bit client. and Linux support.

@vimlesh1975 I love your software and use it for more than an year for playback, but I need some help now. I’m trying to use the trimmer to mark in and out in a 5 hour video, but the tool wont mark the total frames and cannot slide trough the video. Is anything there that I can do?

Hi, I am new to the software.

Can I insert video ads in movies without breaking the movie file into small duration files.

@anishpsla
There is a trimmer module in this software. This is used for this work. This method creates reference text file and and original file is not braked These reference files are found in clipgrid as normal clips. We put these text files in playlist and it plays as normal clip because it has the original filename, in point and outpoint.

@brucedk

Sometimes The total duration of clip is not found and in that case slider doesn’t work.

  1. Opening again the same clip may get the total duration and then the slider works.
  2. Even if slider doesn’t work The embedded VLC shows its own slider and that works good.
