OSC Point Support #1292

Open hadphild opened 1 month ago

hadphild commented 1 month ago

Have a way to get all the notes from Powerpoint using OSC point.

Having and main and backup for pulling in all the notes. Having a countdown time to the notes would be really useful for one DSM.

What is it you imagen this would do exactly?

are you looking to get all of the features of dNotes ?

More to reduce down the DSMs you have onstage. There are a lot of applications that can extract notes from PowerPoint just think of one application that can do it all.

Hi @hadphild, thank you for this.

I find that this ticket leaves a lot of work for our side, it doesnt contain enough information for us to act on. So not only would we be implementing a request, we would also have to research your use case

In general, it is a good idea to assume that we dont know what you do or your tools and workflow.

I had to google OSC Point, it sounds to me that this is a tool that companion can leverage. Would a reasonable solution be to use companion as a middle man to push data to ontime?

I did not understand what you mean here, is this another request?

I also did not understand what are you calling notes. Also, what does the DSM do in your case?

This further confused me, do you have multiple DSMs? Do you expect this feature to allow cutting production rules?

This is a great point. I dont think we want Ontime to do it all. Our main focus is on making it easy for users to integrate ontime with the rest of the tooling, but there is no ambition that Ontime would be a one-stop-shop for show running
