I have used the MJPEG Stream Viewer (MSV) package successfully for viewing MJPEG streams.
I’ve used the Scheduled Player (SP) package for making playlists, and added the Web Browser (WB) package.
It doesn’t seem possible to “add” the MJPEG Stream Viewer package to the Scheduled Player setup, see this image:
What edits to the MJPEG Stream Viewer would be required to make it able to be added to the Scheduled Player? I am technically able to consider some amount of development/configuration, if it is possible.
Thanks :]
I see in Streaming package as plugin of scheduled player package this quote:
Most packages cannot be combined as they don’t work together. I guess you’re trying to play YouTube videos from within the Schedule Player?
It is abstract what “don’t work together” means, which is why I made a new post ;]
Sorry for the delay. The package cannot be directly added as the MJPEG player only knows how to run exclusively as a top-level package. It doesn’t implement the necessary API to be embeddable into the scheduled player. In theory that would probably not be too difficult: The package service (in the file service) can remain unchanged, but it would need a new tile.lua file and tile.js. I could take a look at that next week.
That makes sense! Thanks for taking a look. I’m interested to know what it needs, so I’ll keep track of the diffs on GitHub - info-beamer/package-mjpeg-viewer: A mjpeg viewer for info-beamer hosted. If you don’t find time for it, I can have a go, for which I’d appreciate: an example of another simple package that already implements tile.lua and tile.js; any “gotchas” that the mjpeg viewer might come with when these files are created; a general link to contributing guidelines/etc. :] … otherwise, I wish you luck with it ^.^ … thanks !
