[FEATURE] Support for mutliple window position setups (3x3, 1x3, etc) #32

I'd love to see the ability to choose a race, then choose a window layout, then have the windows populate on screen, and finally be able to click each window and select which feed I want to load. Alternatively, just the ability to snap multiple windows in different layouts. See attached for ideas! Layouts

Will look into this.

n4ppy commented 3 years ago

A workaround i use is to mess with all the screens until i got them like i want. Then save current layout. I then go to C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\RaceControl and make a copy of the layout.json file (and rename to give it a good label). So i now have a RaceControl.layoutTV.json and a RaceControl.layoutLT.json for tv over hdmi and just on the laptop. By going to the folder and overwriting RaceControl.layout.json with the correct one i have a fairly quick way to get everything back to preferred layout by using the load layout option.

Thanks for the feedback @n4ppy.

I have written a C# plugin for my video editing software which can do video walls like this. It might be helpful to you and remove the need to redo the calculations?

robvdpol commented 3 years ago

Calculations are already different for internal player and MPV, since MPV uses a different 'coordinate system'. Very messy. I'm not sure if your code can support it?

Jan-Weigang commented 3 years ago

Oh that's so true, I remember that was already a problem in the editing program with different systems and coordinates... probably would be more work to adopt than to just do it right anew..

Does this work on the new f1tv? in web browser I can only view one feed, it wont support multiple feeds, does this app workaround that?

n4ppy commented 3 years ago

@chrcoluk i just watched it with the new racecontrol (on a 32" monitor) timing - pitlane - MAIN feed tracker - MAX - MAIN feed nothing - nothing - small NOR (just enough room left)

MAX at 100% volume, MAIN at 70%, others on 0% volume

Brilliant setup for quali!

Maybe add multiscreen support for the native watch feature?

What exactly do you mean? The player should support multiscreen setups.

If i open the native player that F1 Race Control window is stuck to that screen, i cant drag it to my second screen. I was thinking about setting up 2 times 4x4 interface.
