Dashboard is running on a Windows 10 OS machine. The target computer that is running ProPresenter (which is the application I'm trying to communicate with) is a 2018 Mac Mini running Monterrey (12.6). As I said in my original post, if I put the http command in the Chrome browser window, it works just fine on the Mac.
When I click the button that I added on Dashboard and then look at the DeBug info it says: 13.33.54.234: Connection refused: connect Is that the info you wanted to know? What does it mean? Is there something else I need to check or change?
Thanks.

So this could be lots of things. Do you get a response from your Debug information (VIEWS/openGear Debug Information)
What operating system are you using and do you have a overzealous firewall that is blocking the DashBoard application on port :60768

HELP! I am really trying to get this button to work and cannot figure out why it never does anything.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?Trying to send an HTML API command from Dashboard to another computer on the network when a button is pushed. Destination IP address and port are correct.
The source code that the Dashboard wizard generated was as follows:
<button buttontype="push" height="51" id="StartBroadcast" left="835" name="Start Broadcast" style="size:18;fg#modaloverlay;bg#orange;font:bold;" top="500" width="160">
<task tasktype="ogscript">/*! block id=1000 !*/
ogscript.asyncHTTP("http://172.16.1.72:60768/v1/macro/STOP%20Announcements%20for%20Broadcast/trigger", "GET", "text/plain", "", null);
/*!!
<block id="1000" type="ogscript_async" x="135" y="177" w="318" URL="http://172.16.1.72:60768/v1/macro/STOP%20Announcements%20for%20Broadcast/trigger" METHOD="GET" TYPE="text/plain" DATA="" CALLBACK="null" />
!!*/
/*!!<checksum>03c56212d68a6db6cca0c1c4845edb65</checksum>!!*/</task>
</button>
If I put that same command: http://172.16.1.72:60768/v1/macro/STOP%20Announcements%20for%20Broadcast/trigger in the address bar of my browser on that same computer, it works just fine. Am I wrong in guessing that Dashboard is simply not sending anything? Or do i have other problems with the code?

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I've tried this 6 ways to Sunday and still can't seem to get it to work. I know that both computers are on the same network. If I place the command in a web browser address bar on the computer that runs Dashboard,
http://172.16.1.72:60768/v1/macro/STOP%20Announcements%20for%20Broadcast/trigger
it will execute on the receiving computer running ProPresenter flawlessly. When I press the button I created to do the same thing within Dashboard, nothing happens. This is the source code it generated for the button in Dashboard:
<button buttontype="push" height="51" id="StartBroadcast" left="835" name="Start Broadcast" style="size:18;fg#modaloverlay;bg#orange;font:bold;" top="500" width="160">
<task tasktype="ogscript">/*! block id=1000 !*/
ogscript.asyncHTTP(http://172.16.1.72:60768/v1/macro/STOP%20Announcements%20for%20Broadcast/trigger", "GET", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "", null);
/*!!

!!*/
/*!!<checksum>03c56212d68a6db6cca0c1c4845edb65</checksum>!!*/</task>
</button>
Since the server is not blocking anything sent from a browser on the computer, can it be blocking something sent from Dashboard? Is there something else it could be?

Hi Steve
"text/plain" is one of the content type options in the async HTTP message Visual scripting blocks:

Sorry James-but as I mentioned in my initial post on this topic, I'm a total newb on the syntax of this kind of programming. So how/where exactly would I change the content type to "text/plain" in the command it's sending from Dashboard. Can I simply change (in the source tab for the button) the code I posted in my previous post (see below)? If so, where-I don't see a 'content-type' label but I do see two others, one called 'type="ogscript_asynch" and another as TYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded". Do I replace what's in quotes on one of those or something else?
<button buttontype="push" height="130" id="Fire Macro" left="182" name="Fire Macro" top="174" width="243"><task tasktype="ogscript">/*! block id=1000 !*/ogscript.asyncHTTP("http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/Preservice%20Countdown/trigger", "GET", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "", null);/*!!<block id="1000" type="ogscript_async" x="10" y="100" w="318" URL="http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/Preservice%20Countdown/trigger" METHOD="GET" TYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" DATA="" CALLBACK="null" />!!*//*!!<checksum>49d452306b388aefcfa070a07f78c657</checksum>!!*/</task></button>------------------------------

Hi Steve
It is likely that the server is rejecting the message for some reason. I would try setting the content type to text/plain and set the data field to null to make it the most simple type of interaction between DashBoard and the server.
If this doesn't work, the next thing to try would be setting additional header properties to look a little more like the web browser (for example, some servers require the "user-agent" header to be set).

Dang! Doesn't seem to work. OK, so when I put the following URL (command) in the address bar of my browser with ProPresenter running, it does what I want:
http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/Preservice%20Countdown/trigger
Then, when I put this same command in the URL field of the top box after creating my button and choosing
HTTP Async messageitgeneratesthefollowingcode:<button buttontype="push" height="130" id="Fire Macro" left="182" name="Fire Macro" top="174" width="243">
<task tasktype="ogscript">/*! block id=1000 !*/
ogscript.asyncHTTP("http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/Preservice%20Countdown/trigger", "GET", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "", null);
/*!!

And, unfortunately, when I press the button on the panel, nothing happens in ProPresenter. Is there something I'm missing?

Hey Steve this should be simple.
Create a button and add a task. In the visual logic pane on the right look for OGSCRIPT>COMMUNICATION find HTTP Async message. Open the visual logic block and paste the URL into the top box and then press ok. The button should (all being well sometimes these things are tricky) operate your macro on the device.
Hope that helps and good luck with it.

This may seem a little off base but please bear with me. I'm sure those of your staff who work in the church market are familiar with ProPresenter by Renewed Vision. Recently, they came out with a public API for controlling a number of functions remotely over the network. I would like to create a button on Dashboard to accomplish one simple task: fire a macro set up inside of ProPresenter. Unfortunately, looking at their website API page, it's all kinda Greek to me.
On that page (
ProPresenter API) it lists the following make it work:
First, there's a "request URL" of:
http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/206ba350-a981-4b55-b09b-28621e1631bc/trigger
and I know I would need to replace localhost with the IP address of the machine running ProPresenter along with the port after the colon (and yes, both the machine running Dashboard and the ProPresenter computer are on the same netwok) I also know that the long number string between macro/ and /trigger are the macro's internal UUID within ProPresenter. .
OR there's code for Curl (whatever that is):
curl -X 'GET' \ 'http://localhost:50001/v1/macro/206ba350-a981-4b55-b09b-28621e1631bc/trigger' \ -H 'accept: */*'
Again, I would need to change the appropriate parameters as mentioned above. My question is that it appears I could use one or the other to make this work, so which method would be advisable. Finally, how do I code the button in Dashboard to execute this command?.
Hope you folks can help.
