I read something about new connections using RossTalkEx and that existing panels might still be using standard RossTalk until the panel was modified---could this be what I am seeing? Thanks, James. ------------------------------ James Hessler WAAY TV (ALLEN MEDIA BROADCASTING) ---------------- ...

Losing Xpression reference

I have a DashBoard panel that references our Xpression Studio that suddenly lost the reference to Xpression. I can re-add the Xpression, but only get the API. The panel was getting the name of the loaded project and the API alone doesn't work. This did happen after a Windows update on Xpression ...

Hey Aury, I didn't have any luck with your latest snippet, but I have been making good progress otherwise. There are two problems I've encountered that have worried me. The story slug doesn't populate in DashBoard in any way, although it shows up correctly in the XML file itself. ...

Hey Aury, I think I would like DashBoard to reload the XML each time the source updates. I also see that there might be a benefit to updating manually...any insight here would be appreciated. I look at what your code does when I get in this afternoon. Thanks, James. ...

Hey Aury, I've been able to spend some time in DashBoard and made a table that references the stories in running order 0, or running order 1, basically by index and so on. I'd like a way to have the xml update automatically without refreshing/reloading, but I'm not sure that is possible at ...

Hey Garner, Sorry for the duplicate...I thought the first post had not posted. Yeah, I found out about the port conflict on an earlier project! The problem was that I was including the [square brackets] around the channel number! I have not seen Docklight before, when I get caught ...

Hey Garner, Jeff, I'm almost finished with my panel...just looking at things to make it more user friendly. Since the director might be focused on the panel sometimes, I thought using NDI to display my program and preview would be good. Have you found SDI-NDI converters that are better ...

Hey Garner! I'm working on a DashBoard panel to drive the remote sequencer v10 5 build 5543 and I can use a RossTalk commands from the API on my port for the main sequence, but I haven't successfully sent commands for the individual channel sequences. Are the above commands still valid? ...

Hey Dean, This isn't the same application, but I have a DashBoard panel that allows me to preset a source on my Carbonite Black, and send that source to another ME, MiniME, or aux bus---so I'd bet what you want is possible. I'm not sure whether you mean a single button that always sends the ...
