Hi,
Firstly thank you for all the development work on Plycast, it's an excellent tool and seems to be perfect for our needs.
May I ask for some assistance with setting up CG and PostURL?
I think I also have an issue with Logos.
The use case is that I would like to use the 'Next Comment' keyword to send text from the Playlist to an HTML page for overlay as a CG.
The Readme notes that, within cg.xml, for a URL it's possible to replace keywords with variables e.g. %NEXTCOMMENT% - however this does not seem to work.
For testing purposes, I am just trying to send the currently playing filename.
Within my cg.xml I have the following line set up for layer 15:
<CGUri>http://www.url.com/cgs/cgtest.html?text=%FILE%</CGUri>
When playing the rundown, rather than sending the URL, Plycast is sending
PLAY 1-15 EMPTY MIX 16
to CasparCG Server, and so the HTML overlay is not displayed.
This does not work for %NEXTCOMMENT% either (or indeed any other keywords).
If I replace the XML thus:
<CGUri>http://www.url.com/cgs/cgtest.html?text=Hello</CGUri>
The correct command is sent to CasparCG and the HTML page is successfully overlaid with the parsed text.
The <PostURL> tag in my cg.xml is set to True.
Is this something I'm doing wrong (quite possibly!)? Is additional config required anywhere?
Also, with regards to the Logo config, is there any way to change the behaviour whereby when dragging media into the Rundown, all Logos and CG's are applied to each clip by default? It's then necessary to click through each Logo/CG to remove them.
This also seems to stop the AutoOn/AutoOff from working correctly for me, as none of the string matches seem to have any effect.
Thanks in advance for the help! 🙂
