pin collector videoplayer + input problems on control board

 

Have a problem that when I like to have a control board for a virtual screen that has 4 video player and 2 videoinputs.

When I create a Pin Collector that should do this it only shows the videoplayers as possible to select on the controlboard and I can understand why

Hello,

The Pin collector can create a thumbnail to show for video files since they are pre-recorded, but it can't create a thumbnail for a live feed since it constantly changes.

But I need the button not the thumbnail, if a thumbnail is needed in the Pin Collector for the button to come up the there should be a way to "add custom thumbnail" aka import a PNG that isnt connected to the source that is attached to the button.
If not this is possible concider this a feature request.

Solution to my own problem

See the picture:

- add a module "Switcher video mini" and a Pin Collector

- connect "selected" from module to Pin Collector

- add following to name in pin collector "#,LOOP,_Clean Feed,_Still,_Still"

- connect all video inputs to Pin Collector 

- add to input side of Pin Collector needed "video input" & "video player"-modules. Stills can be added in collector without module.

- Add Pin Collector to Control Board

Hi,

About adding custom thumbnail with image files for Video Inputs. It is very well possible to do it, just use the image like this:

Warmest regards,
