  • 1.  Dashboard Click a Button on a website?

    Hi all, I know I am asking the impossible here but...

    I need to come up with a way I can trigger a button press on a website from a dashboard panel. In context I am looking to control a rotating screen (that rotates between Portrait and Landscape, Play a clip on a hyperdeck, and cut an me on a carbonite, all on one button press.

    At the moment the operator has to click on the webpage and the dashboard panel at the same time and I want to streamline this.

    any suggestions?

    This would depend on what the button on the website is doing. If it is doing a form post or a restful API call, you should be able to trigger it through DashBoard's ogscript.asyncPost or ogscript.asyncHTTP mechanisms. Basically, you should be looking to duplicate what that button-press in the browser is doing rather than press it directly.
