  • 1.  How to create Start/Stop Encoding Streams macro button in Panelbuilder

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hello, I'm somewhat new at creating custom panels using Panelbuilder so hopefully this is an easy one.

    I'd like to be able to start and stop the encoding streams on my Cobalt 9992-ENC Pacific OG Cards using a single button radio button or toggle. There are 2 cards, each with 3 streams. So I'd like to have two separate buttons, one for each card. 

    The name of the parameters are Encoder State (0x2054), (0x2448), (0x283c).State Values are 0=stopped and 1=running

    There's also a confirmation button that needs to be triggered in order to except each parameter change, so a macro for that should be created as well: (0x207e), (0x2472), (0x2866). State Values 0=Apply

    Let me know if should provide any more info, Thanks!

    Hi David, I've attached an example panel below to help out with your question.

    In the example panel, we use the parameter card1state to store whether the streams for card 1 should be started or stopped when we hit the confirmation button. It's a temporary variable, and has the states 0 = Stopped, 1 = Running, but doesn't directly change the Encoder State parameters.
    The confirmation button has an attached task that when clicked, takes the value of card1state and sets the values of card1Stream1, card1Stream2, card1Stream3 accordingly. You can substitute card1Stream1, card1Stream2, card1Stream3 for your Encoder State parameters in your own panel.

    Then, we repeat the same with another set of parameters and buttons for Card 2.

    Please let me know if you have any questions!

    Thank you, this looks like it should do the trick!

    My next challenge is how should I go about associating these fancy .PNG graphics with the parameters so that the respective stream start, stream stop, and confirm buttons illuminate or change when clicked. ideally the start/stop buttons would stay lit until the confirm button is pressed

    Thanks again!

    And is there a way to change the way the Encoder RTMP Status parameter looks? Maybe a simple font color change or what the indicator lights looks like

    Hi David,

    If you're okay with using a single toggle button for the stream stop and start, you can edit the following for the card1State and card2State params: 

    • Change the widget hint from Toggle Buttons (22) to Toggle Button (13)
    • Under the Style tab -> Toggle On -> Background (URL), set the "Start Stream" background image
    • Under the Style tab -> Toggle Off -> Background (URL), set the "Stop Stream" background image

    The end result will look like this:

    To change the Encoder RTMP Status parameter, you can navigate to the Style tab -> Font/Text Style, and change the Foreground Color setting:
