Livestream Studio

Works, untested. Livestream Studio’s GFX can read a CSV file over HTTP and refresh it every few seconds. ScoreSight’s HTTP server serves its values as a one-row CSV with a header, which fits.

Livestream Studio 6 is no longer sold on its own: Vimeo includes it with its Advanced, Premium and Enterprise plans, for Windows and Mac.

.CSV over HTTP

  1. In ScoreSight, check in a browser on the Livestream Studio computer that http://<scoresight-ip>:18099/csv?pivot&all shows a header row with the field names and a row of values.
  2. In Livestream Studio’s GFX panel, Create Custom Graphic > .CSV over HTTP. Enter that URL and press Enter. Leave Basic Authentication off.
  3. Tick Use first row as column titles, and set Auto advance data interval (how often, in seconds, Studio reads the URL again) to 1.
  4. Click the paintbrush to open the GFX Designer, choose the CSV layer, and insert the fields (Home Score, Away Score, Time…) into the text.
  5. Preview with PRV, then PUSH the graphic on air.

&all keeps every column in the CSV, with its last good value, so a field never goes blank while a reading is rejected.

CSV file layer

Instead of HTTP, tick Save .csv file in ScoreSight’s Text files output (no append, so the file holds the header and one row), then in Studio Create Custom Graphic > Import Layer > .CSV File, pick results.csv and tick Watch file for update. Its first column is Timestamp.

Notes

  • Untested: whether Studio refreshes faster than once a second, and whether a graphic on air updates without being pushed again. For a fast clock, try the browser overlay instead: GFX Designer’s webpage element can show a ScoreSight browser overlay address (whether it keeps the transparency isn’t documented).
  • Untested by the ScoreSight project. If you try it, please tell us in ScoreSight’s Discussions.
