Control via Elgato Streamdeck possible?

[jojo2203]

Has anyone ever tried to operate the PTZcontrol tool via an Elgato Streamdeck? And can give tips for this? This would probably make it much easier to use, especially in hectic live situations.

Thank you.

I have tried but not seceded. @xMRi would it be possible to set the shortcuts (or custom shortcuts like ctrl-alt-1 for saved position1) to work when te program is not in focus? I think it is something in the line of register the shortcuts in windows and add some code to execute when shortcut is pressed. Then it can be used in streamdeck or any other (streaming) software which can send shortcuts to windows. Would help me a good deal.

I found a kinda roundabout way of doing it.
Set up a multi action button and install window actions plugin.
Set the button to focus on the window and then press the number keys to recall presets.

Semi painful because I had to download the source code, feed it to chatgpt to figure out why the ptzcontrol application wasn't showing up on any of the lists of running programs. Guessitmated it was because the window had no name.
Had Chatgpt feed me the code to modify to give it a name, recompliled and now focus window works.

I know NOTHING about coding so this was as best as I could pull off while solving the issue. Def gonna be way cleaner solutions.

In the new version I have global hotkeys, so it should be possible to assign this keystrokes to the elgato streamdeck and to use it in PTZControl.
