how to specify a spout/syphon from multiple sources #60

Closed harveymoon closed 4 years ago

harveymoon commented 6 years ago

I have multiple spout sources on the network. PocketVJ seems to automatically attach to one source and not let go until it is turned off.

How can I specify the input source from a list of network input sources on the PocketVJ v3?

You have to modify /var/www/sync/tcpsserver

and change on line 8: sudo -u pi /usr/bin/TCPSClient.bin &

to something like sudo -u pi /usr/bin/TCPSClient.bin -c 192.168.2.130 -p 7778 &

I never tried this so far since I did not know that it is possible to send several Syphon streams over the same network. Please report back if this is working so I can think about implementing a select source button in CP.

There you find some more infos about TCPS flags: https://github.com/z37soft/INetSyphon_RaspberryPi_SDK

You can make tutorial video how to connnect PocketVj with Spout in Windows.

Get the Syphon/Spout servers here: SyphonServer OSX SpoutServer Win

Make sure to disable Firewall.

Maybe someone here has some info concerning Spout. I guess its similar to the OSX approach: https://vimeo.com/192291861

Since Syphon/Spout is officially not supported on OSX and WIN anymore, you could solve this also with the VNC Screensharing solution:

On Ubuntu I do it like this: 1.) Connecting an AVer Media gameplay recorder to my laptops HDMI output 2.) Starting the "Screenshare" function in PocketVJ 3.) Wifi connect to PocketVJ 4.) In the Ubuntu terminal start the screensharing of the second monitor with: vnc4server -connect 2.0.0.100:5500 x11vnc -connect 2.0.0.100:5500 -clip 1920x1080+1920+0 (The -clip options crops the output to 1920x1080 and moves the crop window to the 2nd screen with +1920+0 You might change the numbers if you have other resolutions). 5.) Setup the mapping and then directly record it with the recorder to upload to the PocketVJ.

I think under WIN you could use TighVNC for the reverse connection and define the 2nd screen with a similar option.
