Wintermute User Guide

Layout objects are the displays and interfaces that can be placed into a remote page; they are used in the node_addpage command and are a comma-separated list of parameters - the first being the type of layout object, and the following defining its function.

There are three chat interfaces:

• chatfixed, #<flowposition>/@<name>, <description> - A chat interface for a particular channel, either given by its name with an @ prefix, or with a # prefix relating to the chat channel of a group at a particular point in the flow - flow position is a number that can be discovered by running flow_overview
• chatcontrol, <flowposition>, <description> - a chat interface for the chat channel of the group at a particular point in the show flow ¹⁾; additionally, it allows the user to edit the group's size, colour, and time. This is designed for FoH use.
• chatselect, <minposition>, <maxposition>, <description> - similar to chatcontrol, but also allows the users to scroll between the channels of groups in the flow in a range defined by the min and max position. This is designed for FoH use.

And several other options:

• title, <text> - a static text label, the text given by that parameter.
• timer, <flow postion> - a display giving arrival countdowns for the next three groups arriving at a particular point in the show flow - flow position is a number that can be discovered by running flow_overview
• keypad, <page>, <offset> - a four-button 2×2 keypad; these will be four buttons from the button pages already defined, from a given page and starting at the offset given - they must be sequential.
• picture, <name> - a picture, using the name defined when the picture was downloaded using the node_addimage - the blob functionality will be implemented if present
• imagebutton, <name>, <page>, <offset> - implements a single button from the button pages already defined, from a given page and at the offset given. Rather than using the button's text, the named image is used. Blobs are not implemented.

Finally, this feature is in Beta:

• camera,<name>,<scale>,<url> - displays the stream from an IP video source (normally a camera). The name is arbitrary and displayed below the feed; scale can be used to fit the feed to the display as needed; the url is the URL of the stream, e.g: http://pendelcam.kip.uni-heidelberg.de/mjpg/video.mjpg could be used for testing.
