CasparCG Server not executing multiple CLEAR commands. I am in the process of creating a PHP client for CasparCG v2.0.6. I came across a bug, when you send to the server the following command (in one line - each command separated by a new line: ' r n'):

Additional downloads that aren't mentioned in the video, but are needed for the program to work: ** Install. « Back to Knowledge Base Setting up CasparCG with NDI to send the output to vMix The following guide is for configuring CasparCG with NDI support so that the output shows up as an NDI source within vMix. Apr 2, 2014 - You have to download my PHP client and run it with CasparCG v2.0.6. Last movie should have only youtube logo in upper right corner but.

CLEAR 1-1
CLEAR 1-2 //THAT ONE IS RECEIVED BY SERVER BUT NOT EXECUTED
CLEAR 1-3
PLAY 1-0 'CG1080I50' MIX 24 easeoutincubic LEFT

it turns out that the server after receiving this command does not execute the command CLEAR 1-2. Below is a PHP client log and full log CasparCG.

You can read about that bug here: http://casparcg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2121

  • Intel Core i7-3820 @ 3.60Ghz
  • Asus Sabertooth
  • 8GB Ram
  • Asus Radeon 7770HD
  • Windows Small Bussines Server 2011 Essentials 64-bit

You have to download my PHP client and run it with CasparCG v2.0.6. You also have to copy required images to casparcg/media directory. So:

  1. Download CasparCG from official website
  2. Download required images and copy them to casparcg/media directory: http://ns399301.ovh.net/~damian/ccg-bug-report/media.zip
  3. Run CasparCG server
  4. Download my PHP client: http://ns399301.ovh.net/~damian/ccg-bug-report/client.zip
  5. Configure PHP client - open app.php file and type CasparCG server IP
  6. Run client in browser and watch CasparCG Screen output. Remember to set correct IP address of CasparCG server in app.php file. Commented client code is in: src/Client.php. Client should play 3 CasparCG movies configured in playlist: 'AMB', 'GO1080P25' and 'CG1080I50'. Last movie should have only youtube logo in upper right corner but due to bug it have also layer with mufi-mufi-1080p.png in lower left corner.

Playing first movie:

Cara Download Youtube

Connect to the CasparCG Server via PUTTY and send those commands at once:

Server response:

Only 2 CLEAR commands were executed.

I tested 2.0.6 and 2.0.7 Beta 1.

Just send duplicate CLEAR commands :/

Sending commands:
CLEAR 1 (sent bytes: 9)
Response: 202 CLEAR OK

Sending commands:
PLAY 1-999 'youtube-1080p' CUT 1 linear RIGHT (sent bytes: 51)
Response: 202 PLAY OK

Sending commands:
PLAY 1-0 'AMB' CUT 1 easeinoutelastic
PLAY 1-1 'from-age-7-1080p' (sent bytes: 73)

PLAY 1-3 'test-1080p' (sent bytes: 149)
Response: 202 CLEAR OK

Sending commands:

Response: 202 CLEAR OK

Sending commands:

Response: 202 CLEAR OK

I bolded buggy place with CLEAR commands and removed duplicate INFO commands,

Type 'q' to close application.

Caspar Richard George Lee (born 24 April 1994) is a British-South African YouTube personality, vlogger, actor and entrepreneur.[1][2]

Career

Lee started his YouTube channel 'dicasp' in 2011, and later renamed it to simply 'Caspar'. As of November 2017, Lee's main YouTube channel has over 7.5 million subscribers and over 850 million video views, and is the 243rd most subscribed channel on the website; his second channel 'morecaspar' has nearly 2 million subscribers and over 116 million video views.[3][4][5]

Lee was part of the 'YouTube Boyband' that raised money in 2014 for Comic Relief and was featured in The Guardian.[6][7][8] He was named by Yahoo! News as one of '12 Web-savvy entrepreneurs to watch' in December 2013.[9] In 2014 he starred, along with a number of other YouTubers, in the Style Haul series The Crew, described by teen website Sugarscape.com as 'the male version of Loose Women, but a bit less pervy'.[10][11][12] He featured in a 2014 episode of the American television series Web Therapy.[10][11]

Lee has over 6.1 million followers on Twitter and over 3.6 million on Instagram, as of April 2018.[13][3]

Lee played a character named Garlic in the comedy movie Spud 3: Learning to Fly, alongside fellow YouTuber Troye Sivan.[3][14] In the UK version of the 2015 movie The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, he played the voice of a seagull.[15] Lee and Joe Sugg are featured in a 2015 travel documentary, Joe and Caspar Hit the Road, and its sequel Joe and Caspar Hit The Road: USA, produced for BBC Worldwide.[16] Also in 2016, Lee starred in Laid in America alongside YouTube comedian KSI (Olajide Olatunji).[17]

Youtube

Lee appeared in the music video for Charli XCX's 2017 single, Boys.

In August 2017, it was announced that Lee would become Chief Innovation Officer of Influencer Ltd, a British influencer marketing agency.[18]

He has a series of videos where he comically interviews celebrities such as One Direction's Liam Payne, actor Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, and a few others.

Caspar Lee, a biography written by Lee and his mother, Emily, was published in hardcover in May 2016.[19]

Personal life

Lee was born in London, United Kingdom to Emily Riordan Lee (b. 1956) and Jonathan Lee, but was raised in Knysna and Durban, South Africa where he attended Crawford College, La Lucia.[13][3] He has an older sister Theodora (b. 1991), who is also a YouTuber. From the age of six, Lee was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome.[20] Lee moved from South Africa to live with Alfie Deyes until 2014, before moving to a shared apartment in London with fellow YouTuber Joe Sugg until 2016, when he relocated to a shared apartment with Josh Pieters, also a YouTuber.[13][3]

Awards and nominations

Lee was nominated for the 2015 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for the 'UK's Favourite Vlogger'.[21][22]
