ptp

ptp allows you to retrieve information about the network ptp state of the player ptp idl interface ptpevent { attribute string type; }; callback ptpeventcallback = void (ptpevent event); interface ptp { promise\<ptpstatus> getstatus(); void addeventlistener(string type, ptpeventcallback callback); void removeeventlistener(string type, ptpeventcallback callback); }; interface ptpstatus { attribute long timestamp; attribute string state; }; object creation to create a ptp object, load the @brightsign/ptp module using the require() method var ptpclass = require('@brightsign/ptp'); var ptp = new ptpclass(); ptp getstatus() promise\<ptpstatus> getstatus() gets the status of a ptp network for a player ptpevent this event object is generated by the roptp object whenever the ptp status of the player changes type \<font color="#6554c0">string\</font> the name of the event ( which will always be ptpevent) ptpstatus timestamp \<font color="#6554c0"> long\</font> the number of seconds since the ptp state was last changed this value can be compared against the total uptime of the player, which is retrieved by calling uptime(0) state \<font color="#6554c0">string\</font> indicates the current ptp state of the player values can be master, slave, or uncalibrated example // code placeholder var ptpclass = require('@brightsign/ptp'); var ptp = new ptpclass(); function main() { console log("starting ptp javascript api "); // ptp status test // two examples of result from getstatus() for master & slave player // {"state" "master","timestamp" 20} // {"state" "slave","timestamp" 24} var status = ptp getstatus(); status then( function(result) { console log(json stringify(result)); }) catch( function(err){ console log(json stringify(err)); }); // add event test if(ptp addeventlistener){ console log("adding test event"); ptp addeventlistener("ptpevent", eventhandler); } // remove event test // set 5 sec timeout for the purpose of testing removeeventlistener settimeout(function (){ console log("removing test event"); ptp removeeventlistener("ptpevent", eventhandler) }, 5000); } function eventhandler(event){ console log(json stringify(event)); } as of brightsignos 8 3 20, to get the current data set var ptpclass = require('@brightsign/ptp'); var ptp = new ptpclass(); var ds = ptp getcurrentdataset(); ds then( function(result) { console log(json stringify(result)); }) catch( function(err){ console log(json stringify(err)); } ); this will return a promise that, when successful, resolves to type type currentdataset { stepsremoved number; offsetfrommaster number; meanpathdelay number; }
