I run XSchedule on a laptop in my basement, connected to a Onkyo receiver and an FM transmitter. Using software magic to output to both at the same time. I also have a Python script running on a Raspberry Pi that monitors a button in my yard. That script controls the volume of my speakers and lets people skip to next sequence.
Two floors above I have a giant picture window. I'd like to...if possible place a projector in that room to rear project a picture in sync with my Xlights light display. Is that possible?
I've never used Falcon Player before, but it has a feature called Virtual Matrix that looks promising, though strangely it seems to not show video as much as create some strange virtual matrix that is a pixelated version of my video. I'm hoping that instead there is some mechanism to just sync the playing of a video along side an xLights sequence.
Is there a way to have an Xlights sequence control the playing of a video on a remote projector? The key here is the REMOTE part. I still need one device connected to the outdoor speakers and my FM transmitter and I need another device to be connected to a projector and displaying an image...and for these 2 devices to be synced. The will both be connected via ethernet to the same network vlan.
Secondly, is there also some way to power on a projector or run other scripts as part of xSchedule? Looks like a few people have attempted to add MQTT support to some projectors, but if there's some known projector brands that have better serial or MQTT support please let me know.
