  • 1.  how to create panel that displays video duration from overdrive?

    Hello,

    can someone help guide me through how to make a page in Dashboard that shows the duration from our video servers (VDCP)? Basically another place to see the timers of each of our playback machines, similar to the timers panel in Overdrive (pic attached) but in Dashboard. Thanks so much!

    Hello Bobby, 
    There is a feature called Floor Director that is available in OverDrive and this gives you access to the timers and more information about the rundown (what shot is on-air, prepared etc.)
    Depending on your current license(if you have Premium) it may already be available and just need configuring. If this is the case, in your OverDrive server webpage, it would be under the "Device tab" as "Floor Director". 

    Let me know if you see it and I can help you for the setup.

    Hello Andie,

    Any FloorDirector example panels for Dashboard? I see raw JSON via HTTP, but unsure how to link that into Dashboard. Thanks!

    Hello Greg, 

    Here is a link to some panels you can use with Floor Director :

    https://transfer.rossvideo.com/f/b7c9d30af9cdd041

    Once you open the panel, you want to edit and find the "listener"(as shown here) and you need to put the IP address of the OverDrive Server, and the port 8760.

    Hi Andreanne, would you be able to re-share those Dashboard pages? I believe we do have FloorDirector now. Thank you!

    This is the latest version, but you can customize your panels to fit your needs. The CG timing information is not available in the Floor Director at this time.

    Hello Andreanne. 

    Reviving this old thread.   I downloaded the Floor Director Panel you shared.  I've set my server IP, and it works great. 

    One thing I'm trying to achieve though, is having a box that shows wich clip is cued in a certain server channel.  In my Overdrive server webpage, in Device, Floor Director, I can open the REST API.  In the timers endpoint section, I can see wich clip is cued in the "coresponding timer" of my server channel.  I've tried coding Dashboard to get this information, but no luck.  What should be the command line in Dashboard ?

    Thanks

    Hello Nick!

    What you need to do to view the clip name, is create a label in dashboard, and set the name as "n/a" and the id as "clipName Timer03" (replacing the Timer03 with the ID of the timer position in rundown Control).

    Then in the task for the listener :

     you need to make sure the following code is there to rename the clipnames(it will replace the existing "Parse Timers" section):

       
    // Parse Timers
    if (typeof (retObj.timers) != 'undefined')
    {
    var timers = retObj.timers;

    for (var i = 0; i < timers.length; i++)
    {
    var styleInfo = "";

    // Set Style Info for running timers
    if (timers[i].running) {

    // Get values for countdown timers and set style based on value.
    if (timers[i].direction == "Down") {
    var warning = timers[i].currentValue;
    var close = warning.indexOf("+0:0");
    var over = warning.indexOf("+0:00");
    var overover = warning.indexOf("-")

    if (over == "0") {
    styleInfo = "<fg#FF0000>";
    } else if (close == "0") {
    styleInfo = "<fg#F6DF3C>";
    } else if (overover == "0") {
    styleInfo = "<fg#FF0000>"
    } else {
    styleInfo = "<fg#00FF00>"
    }
    } else { // Timers counting up
    styleInfo = "<fg#00FF00>";
    }
    } // end if timers running
    else
    {
    // Set style info for NOT running timers
    styleInfo = "<fg#CCCCCC>";
    }

    //ogscript.debug(timers[i].timerId);
    ogscript.rename(timers[i].timerId, timers[i].currentValue + styleInfo);



    }

    // Process User Defined Timers
    for (var i = 0; i < timers.length; i++)
    {
    if (timers[i].type == "user")
    {
    ogscript.rename("User" + timers[i].timerId, timers[i].userTimerName);
    }
    }
    for (var i = 0; i < timers.length; i++)
    {
    if (timers[i].type == "static")
    {
    ogscript.rename("clipName " + timers[i].timerId, timers[i].clipName);
    }
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < timers.length; i++)
    {
    if (timers[i].type == "user")
    {
    ogscript.rename("clipName " + timers[i].timerId, timers[i].clipName);
    }
    }

    }//end parse timers
