Hi,

is there any installation guide with hardware and software requirement.

@sfahadshahzad Thanks for your interest in this project.

Some basic solution description is available in the wiki: https://github.com/MeditProfi/docs/wiki/BalthasarLiveDiagrams

Please note, that the described solution (with total 3 CasparCG servers) is not the minimal version. We just share the solution exactly the way it was developed, deployed and operating in one broadcasting TV station. We are now working on scaling down the whole solution into single CasparCG server for small TV stations. These will likely lead to some interface changes also.

There's no installation manual at the moment, but as you are interested – I'll do my best to feel-in the gaps in the manual and help you install and try the software. I can also provide prebuilt CasparCG-BalthasarLive binaries upon request.

Thank you very much for your response.

Please share the binaries so i can try it

I've added some information about installing the software: https://github.com/MeditProfi/docs/wiki/BalthasarLiveInstall There are links to download binaries also.

Likely i could have missed something, but I unfortunately do not have time to reproduce full clean install now, so feel free to ask me whether you have any further questions on this software installation and usage.

There's also a draft for the UI User's Guide: https://github.com/MeditProfi/docs/wiki/BalthasarLiveUser

@sfahadshahzad sorry, i just checked – seems the manual is incomplete as it doesn't mention nginx-rtmp-module setup and IP Multiview service. I'll fix the manual these days and let you know here.

@sfahadshahzad Ok, I fixed install guide – it now includes the installation of VIDI IP-Streams Multiview server, so you can experiment with RTMP streams right away.

Please let me now whether you were able to setup and run the software.

stuck on VIDI IP-Streams Multiview server installation.

i am using centos 6.8 with nginx and provided binary of nginx-rtmp-module.

the folder copied on /srv/www/multiview

but unable to understand how to use provided example configuration and how to configure.

As the guide states, you should use provided nginx-rtmp example nginx_conf_exapmle/srv-1/ to configure your nginx-rtmp server.

• First of all, change servername nxlive; to your server name or ip address (one that CasparCG would access to receive the streams)
• Next you alter /srv/www/multiview/server/mvw-server.json. Here you leave the first server ("192.168.0.1") as it is, and just change the second one "192.168.100.1" to your server's local area network IP (one that CasparCG would access to receive the streams)
• start MultiView server:

service mvw-server start

• check it's running:

$ service mvw-server status
Checking Multiview backend server status:                  [  OK  ]

You should now be able to access Multiview web interface at http://your-server.ip.or.name/mvw/
