(And finally, before I head to bed tonight, if you want to send more code for me to look at in the future @supersport05 — or anyone, really — the best way to do that is using a GitHub Gist like I did above. It’s easier to read and download there, doesn’t clutter the channel, and can track revisions; if you look at the Revisions tab on the one I linked above, you can see the changes I made between the two versions to get the artwork updating properly as a nice color-coded context diff thanks to GitHub.)
And @densma1 the OBS overlay server is embedded inside current preview/snapshot builds of Beat Link Trigger, it has not yet been part of any frozen release. You can read about it in the development branch of the user guide: https://blt-guide.deepsymmetry.org/beat-link-trigger/obsoverlay
And looking over that today, I see I need to revise it to emphasize the JSON/JavaScript approach, because since I first wrote it we have learned that trying to refresh the whole page results in too much flicker in the OBS browser plugin, so the only way to get good looking results is to use JavaScript and the JSON URL to update the overlay, like my current template does.
Please always look at the guide, I spend many hours carefully writing it. :smile:
Yes, you were very much on the right track @supersport05, there are just so many layers to worry about and integrate properly. Thanks for letting me know! I think I will start a Wiki page with alternate overlay examples, may I include yours?
@brunchboy Sure if you like, feel free. I reckon it'll likely be a rather commonly requested layout tbh thanks again :D
That’s great! :tada:
I also added a wiki page to collect other templates, starting with the one we came up with today.
@brunchboy got a couple more PRs for u: Deep-Symmetry/beat-link#44 and Deep-Symmetry/dysentery#29 cheers!
Thank you! I look forward to reviewing them when I have time. :smile:
also sidenote: sorry for anyone coming in here asking about my software :pray: haha, I saw you @ me above from someone asking about it. I'm not nearly as active as you :)
Anyway, looks like using the rekordbox remote protocol in one of the later versions of rekordbox, it's sending this item type, which isn't one we know about afaict
here are the 12 arguments
Also, I dont want to just blindly create issues, but due to the new protocol having upto 6 players, it means that being "player 5" didnt work. (It came up as being pre nexus)
Hello @daffron and welcome! Thanks very much, I will definitely appreciate being able to ask you to try things once I think they have a better chance of working. Yes, there are a number of things that are going to need to change at various levels in my ecosystem of libraries and software in order to support players 5 and 6. No need to make a specific issue for that yet, unless you want to, but I haven’t started tackling it yet.
I am not working as much on this as I would like, because I am under a lot of stress right now, thanks to how badly the Wisconsin legislature (and the federal US government) is responding to the CoViD-19 crisis, and the general chaos building towards election day. But I hope to dedicate a good chunk of time working on several of my open-source projects today, I think that will even help me feel better. :smile:
Actually, since Gitter is not great as a way to track things, I will create an issue in the beat-link project about supporting six players for CDJ-3000s, and tag you there, so that I remember your kind offer when it comes time to test things. If you could attach log files showing what happens when it fails, that might help me avoid forgetting to fix some things, too.
Hello, @EvanPurkhiser and nice to hear from you! I have not seen this, no, I keep the menu items type table up to date with what I know: https://djl-analysis.deepsymmetry.org/djl-analysis/track_metadata.html#types-for-menus
I agree that looks pretty empty-ish, zero or empty-string values for everything except parent ID, which is 1. Do you know what was being requested which led to this response?
@tvrdennis_twitter My email said there was a question from you yesterday, but I can not find it in the chat history now. Did you figure out what you needed? If not, could you try repeating your question here? Did anyone else see it?
ah, I think I found it as "Playlist Writer"
Hello, @eric! Yes, that records performed tracks to a text file. If you want to do something slightly different, that code is a good starting point. There is also a section in the user guide which gives a walk through of how to build a simpler version of that tool: https://blt-guide.deepsymmetry.org/beat-link-trigger/0.6.2/matching#writing-a-playlist
Hey, @eric sorry I lost track of your question, it’s been a bit of a stressful week. The user guide walks through how to create and edit trigger expressions, please let me know if there are conceptual gaps that give you trouble. If you want something that is very close to what the built in Playlist Writer does, though (since that adds some nice UI), you might be best off just forking the project and editing the source for that.
