Promise based Wirecast control for Node.js.
- Start and Stop Broadcasting
- Start and Stop Recording
- Set the live shot for any Wirecast Document
This example sets the active shot to one named "Placeholder Slide" in the first layer.
const WirecastDocument = require('wirecast-control');
let doc = new WirecastDocument('MyDocument', {
autoLive: true
});
doc.setActiveShot('Master Layer 1', 'Placeholder Slide');If multiple commands are going to be executed together, it's more efficient to queue them and them submit them in a batch. Otherwise, each individual command, if executed independently, but multiple times, will incur additional overhead.
const WirecastDocument = require('wirecast-control');
let doc = new WirecastDocument('MyDocument', {
autoLive: true
});
doc.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 1', 'Placeholder Slide');
doc.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 2', 'Background Video');
doc.executeQueue();When working with multiple documents, it can be more efficient to build up the queue for each Document, and then execute them all at the same time. There is a static method executeDocumentsQueues which can help with this.
const WirecastDocument = require('wirecast-control');
// First Document
let docA = new WirecastDocument('Document A', {
autoLive: true
});
docA.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 2', 'Clear Layer');
docA.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 3', 'Clear Layer');
// Second Document
let docB = new WirecastDocument('Document B', {
autoLive: true
});
docB.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 2', 'Clear Layer');
docB.queueActiveShot('Master Layer 3', 'Clear Layer');
WirecastDocument.executeDocumentsQueues([docA, docB]);More examples can be found in examples. These examples don't all show async/await or the use of Promises, but Promises can be used.
wirecast-control uses the debug module for debugging. To see logging messages, include DEBUG=wirecast-control* in your Environment.
