Indigoers-
I challenge thee to a challenge! (wait, i think thats right..)
I am looking for ingenious ways to allow a video to be playing as the background to a control page. (Holy Grail being live streaming video)
Now, before somebody jumps in with the 'What about refreshing URL' - That is OK for a JPG stream, but i'm talking about actual 30fps clean HD video.
Now, before you say it just can't be done I'm asking for work arounds, hacks, tricks, tips or any other ideas.
I've used combinations of apps like Mach4kDesktop which allows you to run video desktops with 'widgets' overlaid on them like a control page but there is no way to pull variables from indigo into that, or is there? I have also tried web browsers that feature 'makes backgrounds transparent' to no avail.
I LOVE Indigo and all of it's features but this one I can't seem to crack. I have a MacMini running a display and I want the indigo variables, images, text over a moving .mp4 or video streaming background.
I'm willing to try anything and I'm betting a few of you out there either WANT the same thing or maybe somebody has found a way to make it work!
Any takers?
