SyrinScAPP - Remote triggering URI's with imagery onto a screen/TV

General Chat
#1

Hi guys, I built a little tool that takes remote input (eg from a remote control / wireless keyboard, or any HID device that can input alphanumeric characters ) and play a pre-programmed mood or oneshot.
At the same time it displays a static image or GIF, tied to the particular mood.

The idea was I could trigger moods with visuals from a PC remote control, but there is no reason this couldn’t work with a wireless keyboard or anything else.

You configure the URI’s and images in savable config files. then run them and when you push a button that matches a mood it will play that mood and change the image appropriately.

Hi @Steve Thanks for your response :slight_smile:

Any issues or feedback can go here or in an email to me directly (details in app) I dont mind.

I was considering adding the ability to play video as well as GIF/ stills today, I will look into it if there is any interest.

Cheers :smile:

I did not want to include/distribute these with app because of possible copyright issues, but because the app supports gif you can use high quality Cinemagraphs to really add ambiance. If you find any good ones for RPG please post them and I will update my site with a list. http://pyrocam.com/syrinsc_app/

example:

Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor and repeated movement occurs, forming a video clip. They are published as an animated GIF or in other video formats, and can give the illusion that the viewer is watching an animation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinemagraph

Here are some I have found so far

Edit. I have updated the app to support not stretching images by default so that images not in your screens aspect ratio dont get distorted if you dont want them too. http://pyrocam.com/files/programs/SyrinScAPP/SyrinScAPP0_2_0_0Alpha.zip
