Substitute the two replacement strings with placeholders in the template text. Create a custom property, or even a hidden field, that holds the template XML text. If I can make Livecode send this I can make it send any variation. Livecode variables sourced from Sqlite will substitute for 'bern' and 'boss'. Livecode doesn't do any more than insert the name and occupation - in this case 'bern' and 'boss' - into the preset string that will work in CasparCG. All that's required of Livecode is to add the name and occupation fields to the preset string. Livecode connects to the server via a socket and sends a set pattern of command and text to make a super appear and disappear. Another card is the edit and output card which uses a datagrid for the various operations, though so far I haven't connected that to the actual output socket as i can't get the application to sent a correctly formatted test string. Users will input two fields, one for the name and one for the occupation.

I've now largely completed the front end. Livecode would seem a natural for this task if it's a charity job - CasparCG is free, and so is Livecode. So - the way in which supers get on and off is fixed by a Flash template loaded separately into the CasparCG server, but the actual text content is different for everyone, and is supplied by a client application. When if this works I will publish mine for free so that anyone can do what I've been trying to do for ages. You'd think that what I need would be all over the place, but it isn't. CasparCG is used all over the world because it's incredibly flexible. You run the server, and a client - either the supplied one or one you write yourself - sends commands and info. This is the text at the bottom of the screen that gives the name and occupation of the speaker on a news programme. What did you script so far? How do you create that strings? The requirement is to make what are called 'lower-third supers' in tv. The minimum number of characters you need to enter is The string has to arrive at CasparCG with the escapes intact. Sorry, but what exactly is your question?īest Klaus. Please - a simple tutorial for us idiots rather than references to other posts or projects would help me, and, as it turns out, lots of other people Thank you Bernard Newnham. I can do this in the supplied CasparCG client, now I want to do it in my client. I need to get two lines of text to appear over my Flash template.
