RabbitControl - Remote Control Anything - 2020-10-02 09:02

Hey Markus, thank you. I understand, however it’s not easy to get access to the styles without digging a bit deeper into node/react/web that I am comfortable (to do just to demonstrate the possibility of customisation to my students). Nevertheless I think that is the number one demand after all of the other things work so great. Is it thinkable to work with Templates or just externalise the css… ? Looking for some designer friendly workflow to solve the ages old issue of “skinned remote control” : ) and being able to influence the look of the webclient is the last piece in the puzzle…

Btw… RCP should also work over the internet? Or can I use it only in my local network?

Liebe Grüße
Stefan

Hey @MXZEHN,

the RCP protocol has a provision for Layout and Style control which would be the correct point of controlling things like look, color and position of ui elements in Client Applications as well as the web frontend.

From the spec:

  • Layout (optional): Placement of widgets on a screen: The Layouting of Widgets defines how widgets are placed on screen by defining standard containers.
  • Style (optional): Look (colors, shading, …) of widgets on a screen: CSS styling of widgets

These though have not been worked out in the spec yet for the current RCP version.

cheers
Markus

HI,

This is what i made with RCP. Is an implementation of the playerList.
Most all value are sent via RCP. You can create any numbers of player. All of them directly liked to RCP.

Hi @snaut,
It seems that the pulse parameters don’t work.
I’m using version 0.86 on windows with touch 2020.42700.

Hi @Tyrell,

this should be fixed now - I pushed a version 0.87 to git just now.

RCP SLIDER FAIL.toe (1.7 MB)
hi,

I’m having issue getting the costum-parameter with this configuration. I’m making a TOX player (actually is a stand alone software for live show management), and I would like to add RCP to this project… but I’m not getting why is not working in this case. My python skill are medium so I could get only that RCP comp can not get the costum-paramter from the error log… any help will speed up the process of developing this : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12F1DMxYTN9dnAJPM_VPggKkYEWLlN7wp?usp=sharing

Thanks for your time :slight_smile:

Hey,

i found 2 issues in this component: Operator Type parameters where causing an issue as well as the parameters exportSource member. Both tried to be interpreted as strings while being objects.

You can download the latest from github.

Hello. Thanks for this great tool!

I am testing this on a local network.
I also am having issues dragging the object out of the RCP_TD. I get an error inside the component on the items generated. i.e;
Error: TypeError: onDragStartGetItems() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

I am able to see and adjust parameters inside the object. Any thoughts on this?

Hey @pixelJason

It was still using an older version of drag n drop callbacks. This should be fixed here if you want to grab that file before @snaut updates it officially.

Hi guys,
I am having issues when I put RCP in the tag of a specific container. This is the error
image

Any hints?

I just discovered that this is happening because of the custom Headers components, but Idk why. When I delete all of them RCP works.

Hi @ArtBoeira,

what is the Custom Headers Component? I’ll try to reproduce here and see how this can be fixed.

Hi Markus, sorry i didn’t saw this message. Here is my actual project with the Headers in the custom parameters

Tks for answering me!

Hi guys,

@snaut is the RCP working now? I get the same error as @ArtBoeira above.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I’m experiencing the same error message that @ArtBoeira was talking about in their post. Additionally, when I try to use the remote mode, it does not work.

Hey,

very sorry this took so long. Essentially the RCP component did not account for the Header type custom parameter. This is now fixed in the latest release on github.

Best
Markus

Thank you Markus!

Hi @snaut !
I think there is still an issue with dragNdrop with dropdown menus.
Gives me errors inside the parameters base and parexec1 inside.
I used the updated tox on git on windows 10 and 2022.26590
Lovely tool anyways! Thank you Markus !

Hy @snaut

Thank you very much for this tool. I have some issues with the web part of the tool, it doesn’t show me any controls. I see the operator’s name as well as a dropdown, but then there are no parameters. The client works tidy. I did some digging in your operators and there seems to be an error with the callback dat. Now, my TD skills are still in learning mode for these kinds of complex problems. Here is my question: What would be an approach to fix that I don’t see the values in the web client (localhost:10000). That i can repair it. Thank you very much :slight_smile:
