Experimental Video Playback Solution (cantabile-media-server)

Hi,

I am afraid I cannot help on Linux, but assuming you have a NodeJS version for Linux, then I assume no reason why it should not work

I haven’t tried Linux either, but in theory it should work.

What happens if you run this command:

cantabile-media-server --list-midi-devices

It should show you the list of available devices.

Thank you, that help considerably: -

steveb@Studio:~/MyMediaServer$ cantabile-media-server --list-midi-devices
0: Midi Through:Midi Through Port-0 14:0
1: rtpmidid:Network Export 128:0
2: Virtual Keyboard:Virtual Keyboard 130:0
<<<<

Next little problem is that the videos don’t auto play in the browser, I have to manual hit the play button, is this normal behavoir, do I have to send midi switch (I.e. play :smile: )

Manay thanks

OK, found it apologies, need to RTFM :slight_smile: …/Steve

Can now confirm all works well using Ubuntu Studio 24.04. Only minor niggle was upgrading the node_js to the latest version. The ubuntu repository only listed version 18.xx. Not tried local camera yet. Note to self - Read the manual :slight_smile:

Is it possible to reload the default image when video is selected, I.e. before MMC play is executed?

Excellent.

Yeah, Ubuntu is always pretty far behind when it comes to node versions.

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but maybe you’re after the hiddenWhenStopped layer flag? See here.

Spot on, thats exactly what I meant / wanted thanks, works a treat. …/Steve
