CG and Logo

fyilmaz

First of all, thank you for continuing the project under a different name. I greatly appreciate your efforts. I had the opportunity to test the application. Unfortunately, the logos cannot be displayed reasonably. I don't know if it's because of formatting the files. Transparent PNG was created via the Photoshop application. Casper CG Client on layer 1x displays the logos or the .svg files.
The .svg files are displayed with PlyCast in the following format "file:///D:/MediaPool/000-Logo/CTV-Logo.svg" as source indication in the logo .xml.

In the cg.xml the files with the "C:mediapoollogos" are not read.

Great News, this is not a Bug. Please read the Documentation about using Images. Is highly recommend to use Targa-files with alpha (.tga). If you want to use Images or Animations (svg, css) that your Browser supports, than you have to use a Website as Logo or CG.

I had already read the documentation and accordingly used the sample file to create more logos. As already mentioned in the lecture, the logos with path information in the cg.xml file as *.png do not work or are not displayed. I was able to display the files in the logo.xml file with the path (for Logo 1, Logo 2) *.png.
As soon as I use the LiveInsert.py plugin in the latest realease, the input is not recognized and no logos are imported.
As soon as I use the LiveInsert_WithoutGUI.py plugin, the input is recognized and returned without LOGO!
For this I tested both versions (plycast-v1.0.4.3-rc, plycast-v1.0.4.2-rc).

Configuration of the plugins as follows

LiveInsert.py
BMD: 2, layers: 1
BMD: Decklink 02, layers 1-10

LiveInsert_WithoutGUI.py
data = 'PLAY 1-10 DECKLINK 02\r\n';

PS:
even if I use the following command via the SendCommand.py plugin, logos are not displayed.

Play 1-10 decklink 1

Please send us your files to check it. The cg.xml, the .py file you're using and the casparcg.config. Please use WeTransfer or SwissTransfer.

of course at the wetransfer link with plugins and caspercg.config

fyilmaz What i see is, that the CG is on Layer 12 and the Logo at Layer 16. But you play the Live Input on Layer 20, this means, that the "Insert Layer" is overlapping all other Layers. In our Documentation we wrote "A uniform layer structure is an advantage."

Try to make the LiveInsert Layer PLAY 1-20 less then the CG or Logo Layer.
Use PLAY 1-12 or PLAY 1-2.

data = 'PLAY 1-20 DECKLINK 02\r\n';

I've already done that. Layer 20 is an experimental value. I've already tested several variations from 1-20, so please don't let the value be wrong. The LiveInsert_WithoutGUI.py plugin displays the Input channel (Decklink 02) without a logo.
As I said, I entered the value individually. I paid attention to the placement of the layers as in the documentation.

With the LiveInsert.py plugin, I tested the BMD INPUT parameters with various values, for example Decklink 02, layers from 1-20 with various spellings 1-1 to 1-20 or from 1 to 20. With or without logo display, the signal at the input is not displayed with me with the input signal.
I don't want to annoy you, but I want to let you know what's going on with me. When playing videos I have no problem with logo only at the input signal. I will soon share a video with configuration and various variations with you. Maybe in this way I can improve or contribute to this great program.

Thanks very much!

Thank you for your Post. We will check it.

Strange things with logo. When I use png-file it simly doesnt send a command to Caspar.
In logs I see string "PLAY 1-5 EMPTY ,,,,,,," and no logo on scren. But when I print command PLAY in console with the same filepath by myfelf everything plays correct.
