Expose feedbacks/variables to triggers

[jsnyder886]

Greetings!

I'd like to utilize the triggers functionality of Companion to be able to do other tasks based on the status of one or more feedback in my pearl nano. Currently under the triggers page, there are no variables for epiphan to be able to utilize, nor are the feedbacks that work on the individual buttons available to be utilized either.

The specific initial problem I'd like to solve with this is the simple activation of a light to indicate when the stream is live, similar to what a studio would have illuminated as "On Air". I can think of a few other applications that would be helpful as well, but in general if the feedbacks and/or other variables could be exposed to the triggers page fairly easily, I believe that would address anything I can dream up. :)

Thanks in advance for your time and effort!

Hi!

This is indeed a great idea, what do you have in mind regarding variables?

[jsnyder886]

Off the top of my head, in addition to the variables associated with the existing feed-backs, I would say showing the elapsed time of the current stream and current recording, as well as some of the important metrics like actual FPS and actual bitrate, perhaps CPU utilization and temp metrics as well? Just a few thoughts anyway. Thanks for the interest!

Any chance you've had the opportunity to look at this request any further?

Doesn't look like much has been done recently on this, but I too would be very interested in the above variables.
