Remote Falcon Setup

[bjdj45]

Anyone know this software well enough to get me started??  I just don't know HTML well enough to get going with the design of the website.  If someone is willing to answer a few questions there, or even set up a Zoom call where I can show my screen that would be great.  Don't have to walk me through the whole process.  I am sure once I see what it is you're doing I will catch on and be able to complete the remainder of the site.  Got it loaded and the "key" entered, but don't know where to go from there.

Thanks,

I suspect you could just use the default screens to startup so you can try the functionality.  No need to get fancy unless you are positive that this is something you want to implement for sure.

I was looking to see if I was on page 2 of the post because I'm lost what you are trying to do.

Gil, I suspect the OP is trying to modify their default website for https://remotefalcon.com/.

@bjdj45 Did you ever work it out, or get help on zoom?

It's really quite simple, you download the Default Viewer Page (html code), then open that in a text or HTML app (I use Notepad++ https://notepad-plus-plus.org/. Then modify as required.
To help, go to the Viewer Page Gallery and download 1 or 2 you like, then compare their HTML code against the Default one, and modify as required.

If you're not very familiar with HTML code, don't go for one of the fancy sites, look at a couple of simple sites first to get the feel of it. eg Dayton Lights or TingiraLights

Never heard of it and going the website didn't add to my knowledge...lol.  I don't like to sign up to a website to see what its about.

so you don't have to sign up Gil

Remote Falcon is a free web application that integrates with both Falcon Player and xSchedule to allow viewers to interact with your light show. Via a highly customizable Viewer Page, your visitor can request or vote on songs to be played on your display.

Thanks Ozaz:

I like the idea of comparing the html.  That is where I get lost.  I downloaded everything ok, and think I even got it in Xlights properly, but still have to mess with it.  I just got my display (props for the yard anyway) up and running with no problems.  I will do the house outline this Spring when the weather breaks.  That is where the real wiring starts.  The props are all removable wiring, the house I am leaving up! 

Once I am done with that I am sure I will have at least 15 sequences.  I am working on my 4th right now.  May download some, but they seem like they are more trouble than they are worth since you still have to reassign a lot of things, and most displays I am seeing have a lot more than I do.  I have 10 total props.  3 snowflakes, a manger I built with 83 nodes, a bethlehem star, 2 tree stars, and two 7 foot tall mega trees that I built.  I still have to build a wire node holder around and inside my existing wreath, which is the way I decided to go.  That's it.  Then on to a few Halloween projects   I alredy have TONS of yard decorations for that...still haven't decided if I just want to ADD to existing lights, or go full bore with LED spots...but I am ordering 7 spots for my navtivity set, instead of the LED light bulbs in them now so I can dim and make them come on and off, but most of all to change color and mood.  So I may use them in my graveyard then reulitize for Christmas nativity inside my plastic blow molds. 

After all that...I will get to remote falcon!  lol  But I wondered if there was any easier way than changing HTML, but apparently not.  So I will learn it as good as I need to, to get the job done.  I have a few months yet!  LOL  that's why I started this all at Christmas 2020.  December 18th to be exact!
