I have not got to looking at the HTML part yet I am still trying to confirm that this is a workable solution to my problem. The query is I have a globalcrawl message that is picked up from a text file where would the text file have to be stored? and would the system pick up changest to the text file? As the text file will be regularly changed.

I have just asked few of my friends to install iplay and to test a demo HTM page. They had no problems viewing Scala script in their browser window.

After clicking on one of the blue buttons at the bottom of the monitor image you should be able to see example script (if your internet connection is slow , please be patient, scripts are 200K to 2000K).

If your problem is about modifying HTML page containing the script I have to say again,

publish one simple scala script as web component
Main Scala Menu> Publish>Web component..
New screen pops up.

Choose options that you would like but do not forget to check option:
Include an HTML Template Page.
Remember HTML File name and where it is saved.
Open that file in text editor.
In it you will find large block of comments explaining how to embed SCB scala script in web page.

I have looked at putting it out as WMV stream and had it working but network speed verse quality is an issue.

Momir
Had trouble viewing the onair in Internet Explorer. Even after installing iplay. Assuming it is just a problem on this machine how would this system work with my need for it to pick up a text file and display it as a globalcrawl message?

Hi Guillaume,

Your suggestion is probably the cleanest one.
However i wanted to show pure Scala example.

David,

You can see an example of embedding scala script if you check the link:

http://www.arsmedia.tv/onair/onair.htm

you can also download whole example for testing it on your machine from this link:

http://www.arsmedia.tv/downloads/webdemo.zip

You have to pay attention that html pages will search for scala sctipts in (http://www.arsmedia.tv/onair/sscripts) location for this example.

Please check HTML code and modify it in order to work for you.

Best way to se how to madify HTML is to publish one simple scala script as web component with html page and to analyze that page. In comments you will find detailed instructions about embedding scripts in web page.

Too simple solution?

Posted: Friday, 27 May 2005 11:42 AM -- by Guillaume Proux

My solution would be to get one of the player to send the duplicated output to a VERY basic PC with a simple TV card and just encode that in realtime into a WMV stream.

Or did I miss something?

Guillaume

Example that would be great

Posted: Thursday, 26 May 2005 4:36 AM -- by David

If you could show us an example that would be great. One of the items that would need to be included would be our service messages that are a crawl at the bottom of the screen picking up from a text file which changes regularly. John’s suggestion would look very jumpy.

Yes, if it dosent have to be synched with Master One

Posted: Tuesday, 24 May 2005 1:35:26 PM -- by Momir Zecevic

If you need a time sync, John’s answer is the right track.

Otherwise, you can embed published (as web component ) script, into HTML file and it will be displayed on any machine having Scala iplay installed. Please read manual for more info. Also I think that it would be helpful to publish one demo scala script as a web component and analyze HTML output.

There are several problems that you should pay attention (regarding HTML page switching or closing) but you can discuss this with scala support.

We have had one such page on our web site, I hope that I will be able to find an example if you need it.

I have just contacted sales about the screensaver. Are the any solutions to puting it on the web site? Is it posible to put it through something like MS Windows Media and stream it over the web?

There is a Corporate Screen Saver version of iPlay

A number of things

This would'nt be suitable as we use animations and crawls which we would want to keep.
The idea would be that staff working at home could log in to our website and view the message board. Also it would be nice to distribute the message board to every pc and maybe run it as a screensaver.

Depends on what you actually want to do.

From a simplistic view one could use a tool such as "Smart-Code's" VNC Manager:

http://www.s-code.com/

It has the ability to grab a video frame from a target machine running VNC, (and instead of the viewer getting 15 frames/sec you can configure "Grab a single frame every 10 seconds"), and place the resulting JPEG file into a particular directory. Thus making it trivial to set up a "WebCam"-like WWW page of a running Scala IC3 Player.

I am currently using Scala to control 4 plasma screens. I was wondering if it was possible to get the same Scala presentation visible from a web site. Or Visible to every PC on our network.
How could this be achieved?
