Setting the Stage Monitor Layout as a Pastor
Sometimes out PP volunteers forget to change the stage monitor layout for the sermon.
So I used an iOS shortcut and an automation so when the Focus Mode on the pastors iPad is set to „On Stage“ the layout will change for him.
The way it works is this:
First you need a shortcut with the following action:
Get Contents of URL
As the URL you need to put in the following:
http://[IP-Adress]:[Port]/v1/stage/screen/[Screen-ID]/layout/[Layout-ID]
In my case it’s: http://192.168.178.242:50569/v1/stage/screen/0/layout/1
Then save.
Now you have to set up an automation in the shortcut app.
It’s basically: when a certain focus mode is activated execute the shortcut you just created.
And now, whenever the pastor wants to change the stage display layout he can. Just swipe down on the iPad. Change the Focus mode. And the layout changes. So he doesn’t have to request changing his view.
Thought that might help.
Oh!
The pastors iPad has to be on the same network as the PP Machine.
