Hi Mike,
I've taken a look through the info and files and I have a few questions:
1.
The example displays comments as they are entered, showing the last 3 comments in the DIS folder - those comments being images generated by the JSONgenerator.swf file. Each comment is given the same name 'record0' 'record1' & 'record2'.
In my case I'll be starting with a pre-determined list of records and would like each record displayed for 30 seconds (plus .5 second fade up & .5 second fade down). The full list of records will need to loop about 12 times over the course of 4 years. Are these display times set within Watchout - or controlled via the content of the DIS file?
I need to display the records online in real time - ie as a projected record is fading up, the same info is faded up online. I imagine there's a delay cased by JSONgenerator.swf generating the record image, then that image being displayed in watchout? And, how can the system feedback which record is currently being shown?
2.
Maybe I'm overcomplicating things and I should simply create a WO file containing each of the records on a timeline. The show content would consist of 1 background image and around 65,000 text items - 1 colour with transparent background, the timeline would be approximately 560 hours in length.
Will Watchout handle this amount of media and also the show duration?
Could I achieve the desired outcome using timecode to control the WO show and also control an individual RSS feed from a MySQL database?
Thanks,
James
