Many people ask me how to enter the scores of various sports matches live,
it would be possible to add an effect that would allow a number to be incremented with an X value in a looped show?
I imagine these values:
1) shortcut to increase the value.
2) shortcut to decrease the value.
3) incremental step
4) text with the value
5) reset value
this would make it possible to use blufftitler in live sports events.
(if this is already possible with other methods I apologize)
and use an external program that writes to xml files?
To do that you need 3 things:
1) An online XML file that contains the scores, names of the teams and other info you would like to display.
2) A webpage that updates this XML file. It can feature all the required increase, decrease buttons and text fields.
3) A BluffTitler show using this XML file. When you play this show in a loop (CONTROL > LOOPING) the score (and other info) is updated every loop.
Make sure to unmark the CACHE XML FILES checkbox in the INTERNET tab of the SETTINGS > OPTIONS....dialog.

Thank you Michiel !
but xlm can not be read from your hard disk?
if there is a new effect in the future, I think BluffTitler could also be used as a live title for these events.

I found a program that can be used.
Is called Score Board Edit 1.4 and it's a plugin for OBS.
save the data on txt or xlm files.
is at this address: obsproject.com...

Yes, BluffTitler can read XML files from your local harddisk.
An example comes with the installer:
BluffTitler\Media\Shows\DynamicContent\DynamicText.bt

it works very well, I do not know how it can be used, perhaps with a program that puts BluffTitler on live as OBS !

No need to use soft like OBS. Simply connect the output of your graphics card to your big screen, your digital signage system or your TV studio equipment. It's a pity that companies that use BluffTitler for applications like this never show their work in this community.

Chaver, the documentation can be found here.
Please do not get frustrated when you are not a software engineer. Using dynamic content is not easy, it is not meant to be easy and it never will. I would like to stress that you aren't missing anything if you are using BluffTitler the normal way: creating intros for your videos.

Ok Michiel, but if the live is via computer I have to use a software for streaming
Franco Aversa, 6 years ago
If your scoreboard is a screen connected to a PC running BluffTitler there's no need for streaming. The same is true for digital signage and TV studio apps.
michiel, 6 years ago
Yes, that is true !
however it would not be bad to have a command that combines the macro and keys in order to interact in real time on the animation.
