+---- Thread: Release Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) (/showthread.php?tid=298093)
RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - User 325245 - 2017-09-02
OK, I have it and it is working. Just how do you see the location of the image? Top/bottom, centered, same as normal banners?
RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - DoubleT - 2017-09-02
Amazing!
Could that be a configurable option? Would have use cases for centred and bottom.
RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - User 325245 - 2017-09-02
Yes, I'll try making top/center/bottom, but horizontally it will always be centered.
RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - DoubleT - 2017-09-02
Sounds great. Thanks for this!

v1.6
- Display banner via http/json/API: i.e. from any browser send:
http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"service.banners","params":{"imageloc":"D:\\img.jpg","displaytime":"3000","position":"center"}},"id":1}
Where "imageloc" is full path to image, "displaytime" is how long it should be displayed (1000-60000 mS) and "position" is "top", "bottom" or "center"

Thanks again, this is going to be a huge help around the office.
Quick bug report, looks like top & bottom in imageloc have been reversed.

OK, will fix

Let us see a picture if you get this up and running in the office

There will be a part 3 at some point, and will definetly post up some screenshots when we implement this.
Its likely we'll use the bottom banner display for notifying of website down-time,a webhook from other systems will trigger the API call.

Quote:A couple of side projects from other devs are starting to find the dashboards as end-points – CoffeeBot is now able to show a "Coffee's Ready in the {location} kitchen" notification in the form of an image file or a video – depending how much we're showing off. Utterly ridiculous but it brings a smile.
This is AMAZING!

RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - Slaytanic - 2017-10-09
Looks very interesting, thanks for your work! Just have a question..is it possible to scroll some custom text, like: We Welcome Company X Mr. Y and so on?
RE: Banners - (Display ad-banners over full screen video) - User 325245 - 2017-10-09
No, just if you make animated GIF.
