display a message on all active screens
« on: November 07, 2007, 07:21:18 am »
I am trying to see if LinuxMCE is the right choice for a project I am working on where we will have 10-15 LCDs displaying different video from the core.  At scheduled times, as well as manually, we want to be able to overlay a text message that will be delivered simultaneously on all screens, overlayed on whatever is already playing.  Is this possible, and if so, can it have a scrolling effect?

For example, we will be holding a sweepstakes, so we want to notify people that "15 minutes until the drawing.  Please enter now!"  and also, when someone wins, we want to be able to display "Winner: John Smith! Come get your prize!" for a minute, but very subtly blended over the existing video.

Possible?

Sounds possible.
You could try to enter it as a 'feature request'?
A message displaying on all screens could be useful
