This would indicate how long the speaker has gone over their time and would be super useful. Usually, I send a single counter input (with this script) to the monitor, so creating a second timer with a trigger on another input isn't possible for my use case.


trigger on countdowncompleted to call a script that does the reverse ? or when reached end do reverse within same script ? or ...

Hi all! Can anyone post the finished file? I really don’t understand anything in scripting and where to change what, but I really need a timer that will change color over time. Or instructions?

Regards,

In this post, I'm sharing a piece of code that allows you to track the file being played and how much time is left. This information can be added to a title and displayed on a set for the presenter or other viewers. I believe that this code will be very useful for anyone working with audiovisual projects, especially those involving live broadcasts or presentations.

I encourage you to give it a try and see how it works for your specific needs. And of course, a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the development of this code - your efforts are truly appreciated and make a difference in the audiovisual community.

I slightly shortened the script that changes the color of the timer ;)

Quote:


DIM input_name, input_field as string
DIM remainingtime as TimeSpan

input_name = "countdownclock.gtzip"
input_field = "CountDown.Text"

Do
Try
remainingtime = Convert.ToDateTime(Input.Find(input_name).Text(input_field).Substring(3,8)).Subtract(DateTime.Now)
Catch ex As System.Exception
End Try

Select Case remainingtime.TotalSeconds
Case >31
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:=input_name,SelectedName:=input_field, Value:="GREEN")

Case 16 To 30
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:=input_name,SelectedName:=input_field, Value:="Yellow")

Case 1 To 15
API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:=input_name,SelectedName:=input_field, Value:="RED")
End Select
Sleep (300)
Loop

I have tried your link and used your TCPLAY.gtzip but the title is not updating.
The numbers are all 00:00:00 / 00:00:00 / 00:00:00
I have changed "http://10.207.10.235:8088/api" to "http://localhost:8088/API" but still not working.

What else can I do?
