Pro7RemoteMiddleMan

A "Middle-Man" Windows application to provide simple Master-Slave functionality between two machines running ProPresenter 7. You can run this on any Windows PC on your network and then enter network details for two Pro7 machines to setup a Master-Slave control between them. You do not have to run this on the same computer as the Master or Slave. It can connect to Pro7 on either Windows or MacOS machine for master or slave - all combinations work!

I just wanted to test the idea of creating a middle-man application to create a Master-Slave setup with ProPresenter 7. It uses the mobile App remote protocol to connect to two separate Pro7 machines anywhere on your network via websockets. It listens for notifications of slides being triggered in the "master" Pro7 and sends trigger commands for same presentation/slide to the "slave" Pro7.

Note: Not all master-slave functionality is possble with the remote protocol (This is because there are not notification messages sent from Pro7 to the remote app when a user perfroms some actions.)

This project was made in Visual Studio 2019 Community edition and uses WebSocket4Net pacakge by Kerry Jiang (NuGet Package)

This applicaton is now a "minimum viable product" that could be used by a non-programmer. Download a pre-built, ready to run release from here: https://github.com/greyshirtguy/Pro7RemoteMiddleMan/releases

I'll probably leave this much like it is since RV will likely soon release new features that make this no longer required.
