Example of use with CG_ADD

[miambe]

I don't know what I miss but I'm unable to use the CG_ADD command.

I've tried:

response = client.send(CG_ADD("CG 1 ADD 0 COUNTDOWN 1"))

And I'm getting:

RuntimeError: Command functions do not accept any positional arguments.

Thanks for your help!

Hello, and thank you for your interest in this library!
The commands expect their parameters to be provided by keyword arguments. For example, with the CG_ADD command's syntax looking like this:

CG [video_channel:int]{-[layer:int]|-9999} ADD [cg_layer:int] [template:string] [play_on_load:0,1] {[data:string]}

This syntax description defines following variables:

• video_channel
• layer
• cg_layer
• template
• play_on_load
• data

These variables can then be assigned to using corresponding keyword arguments:

# for your given example "CG 1 ADD 0 COUNTDOWN 1"
command = CG_ADD(video_channel=1, cg_layer=0, template="COUNTDOWN", play_on_load=1)

After creating the command like that, you can send the command using client.send(command) as you have shown before. The program will create appropriate CasparCG command syntax on its own.

It works as expected.
