It would be nice to add customized messages, just like lower thirds, giving an option to stack up multiple messages and provide duration. I see this beneficial where you want to display messages, for example plain copyright information that appear for few seconds.

Every time I try to open h2r v2, it crashes. Not sure if Monterey is supported or what's up.

I upgraded to 0.3.2 and suddenly some of my Stream Deck buttons don't work, specifically the ones related to setting countdown timers.

• Set timer does not work.
  OSC raw: h2r-graphics:timer-customdown is now undefined.

It would be extremely useful if the "Import CSV" file function was opened up to Companion, so you could simply provide it with a CSV file name and the contents would automatically load into H2R Graphics. This would enable changes to the CSV file to be made remotely and automatically loaded into the live system when it was initialised. Many thanks.

Thanks for maintaining this awesome tool!
Is there a way to get NDI as Input into H2R Graphics? Could be an awesome opportunity to add some graphics to an incoming NDI Stream.
If this is not possible now, could this be a valid feature request? 😉

thanks for this awesome app!

Any chance you could add support for animated image formats to the Image tab?

Found this site and would love to be able to use some of them.

No osc command for image show in companion.
Have tried /h2r-graphics/image with value string of 1, 2 show and hide and nothing happens.

Would like a setting to automatically open the Chroma window, move it to the second monitor and maximize it to full-screen upon program launch. We use volunteers in our church and I need to minimize the # of configuration/setup steps. Asking them to drag to a small screen on the switcher M/V (ATEM) is cumbersome. Thanks!

This google Sheet is published and verified working correctly on the Windows version. It's just a copy of the sample docs shared by the author. But on MacOSX it failed to refresh, is there a way to find out what caused the error.

H2R Graphics V2

NB: this is running in WINE so this may not be relevant

When you add an additional item in a ticker the item is changed to the HTML format by changing the space to %20.

This is displayed in the output.

Hi, recently found this app and looked into integrating it into OBS. I found that it works with the green screen method.

However, given that the whole app appears to be an Electron based app, would it not be possible to add an output which is a browser source and by using that make the green screen window unnecessary - when using H2R with OBS?

I think this could be a great added feature opening up use for many people.

Cheers 🌸

I would like to be able to run the H2R graphics with a transparent background. I share a mirrored desktop to my ATEM and I would like to overlay H2R graphics over my screen with a transparent background rather than a chroma or black background which is normally used for chroma or luma key.

Maybe it's just because the sheet is not as expected, but today I used the break feature the first time for a conference and I become stuck "in the middle" and I have to switch to manual mode.

Is there any documentation? May I provide the sheet ID?

v2.14.3 is clearly marked as both BETA and PRERELEASE in the github release page, yet it is linked as the latest official version on the download page ( https://h2r.graphics/download/ ).

what is it - beta/prerelease or official/latest?

thanks!

When I am on the Superchats tab, the app auto-refreshing new messages automatically. This is ok. But new message are not filtered, so the Superchats tab shows all messages. Please see the attached screenshot.

Thank you

A great feature would be to add OSC commands to allow changing the text of lower thirds, ticker, etc. This would allow for the creation of things like real-time stock tickers, custom messages that are driven by scripts, and many other options.

Hello and good day i have a raspberry pi 4 with h2r graphics running here. Now I would like to add playoutbee here. But I can't manage to execute the file. There is a group with bee and the corresponding password. But when I double click on the icon and click on execute nothing happens. If I try it in the terminal I get the message file not found or if I try to unpack it manually permission denied.

I have also tried it the other way round and first installed the image from playoutbee and then tried to install h2r. Here it happens the other way round. playoutbee can be started normally. But H2R cannot be started by double-clicking.

What am I doing wrong and can someone give me a little instruction on what to do?

Hello. An option to have this program auto-start minimized to the system tray would be really nice for Windows. Or even some way to run it without a program GUI. I tried NSSM but that caused a few issues.

Source graphic is 1280x720
Output resolution is 1280x720
When graphic is loaded, positioning set to middle, width and height 100%, and the Chroma window set to full-screen using F11, i.e. is 1280x720, source image is not centered.

original graphic - 1280x720

grab of Chroma window after F11 - also 1280x720

I can fix, but need source code and can create a suitable PR. For some reason, the source.tar.gz on github only contains a README.md file??

To reproduce:
Add a image to H2R called "untitled.png"
Do a change on that file with for example Gimp and write over the old file.
Remove the image in H2R.
Add the image again with the same name.

The newly changed image will not show up.

Windows 10 latest release

I noticed while using the various features of H2R that if you make changes to the score while it's displayed it automatically updates the onscreen score. However, with the ticker, if you show or hide individual ticker items they are not automatically refreshed on screen, you have to cycle between Ticker Show and Ticker Hide. Would it be possible to have them refresh based on the individual show/hide buttons state?

I'm using H2R-0.4.0 to support conferences using a Jitsi-based product (Pàdé for OpenFire, https://github.com/igniterealtime/openfire-pade-plugin). Here, I use H2R's Chroma Window as a screen shared window to feed my video stream. In general, this works as expected.

I'm using Chromium@Ubuntu-20 as the local browser. It's a well-known fact, that the application window used in the browser as a source for a screen share *must be not minimized, i.e. must have a "usable" canvas.

But with H2R I made the observation, that the H2R Chroma Window must also be located on the same X11 workspace as the browser window to keep "things running". If it's moved to be completely off the current visible display area, the scheduled CPU time will be heavy cut down and e.g. the Ticker will become very stuttering.

Note, that to avoid this, it will be enough to have "just one pixel" of the Chroma Window on current displayed workspace area. It also don't have to be "visible", it might be complete covered by another maximized application window.

Therefore, as a workaround, I put it "behind" the Cromium window I use to participate the A/V conference session.

I wonder what's the core reason for this. Maybe there's a (dirty?) trick to avoid it. On most of the X11 window manager, one may "pin" an application window to be visible on all workspaces, i.e. it will "follow" if one switch around. But this seems to coupled with the "stay on top" feature and isn't usable for this reason.

Would it be possible to have a count up stopwatch that just counts up until a time is reached.

ie:

Timer for 40 mins.....00:00-40:00 then stops but remains onscreen until hidden.

The reason I ask this is for music lessons in masterclasses where it is important to stop at the time allowed.

Can be done at the moment with a hh:mm timer but would be easier to just have lesson time and count up.

Thanks

It would be really nice to be able to control the direction of the wipe transition.

In Ticker the wipe is from top to bottom, but it would be more logical to wipe from bottom to top, because it's usually located at the bottom of the screen. It would look nicer :) A Slide transition from the bottom up would also be nice.

In images all options (left to right, bottom to top, etc.) would be nice. Also in Message so I can adjust the direction according to the location of the message.

Thanks!

I like this application and it's way to simplify the things very much. Thank you for a lot of good work!

I usually work on Linux systems and use them for everything. As I guess, your system is built on the basis of Electron and NodeJS, so it should be an option to publish a Linux version (e. g. for Debian based systems as deb package or as an executable to use on multiple systems). I understand that's a lot of extra work, so that I suggest publishing the source code on GitHub.

I would be very glad to get an answer!

very cool tool. I would love to be able to work with other chat streams. any plans to support twitch chat? Need help?

In terms of hardware form factors, the Raspberry Pi may be one of the most ideal platforms to (potentially) run H2R Graphics. Would it be possible to build H2R for the Raspberry Pi? (assuming the current Linux AppImage isn't ARM)

The capability to run "headless" would be ideal - having the Pi auto-run H2R, displaying the Chroma Window fullscreen (without a window manager) and having control done by OSC + ssh. I would suggest a primary target would be for the Raspberry Pi 4, given its dual-HDMI output capability and more robust CPU/memory specifications.

Please let me know if there's anything that could be done to help with this effort. Thank you!

Hi John, I was just quickly checking if and how a Stream Deck plugin could be developed. I think triggering things to come on and off is quite easy with an HTTP POST request but getting the information on what's available (the list in the rundown) is via websockets?! Is there something that's easier to consume?

As soon as one of the items contains an & character the checklist is broken in that I cannot add or remove items. Once I remove the character, everything is back to normal.
