The Q-SYS sACN Mixer plugin by Paul Ricard has been floating around various forums for years. It worked great until v9.4 but broke in v9.5.

This plugin was fixed by Mike Matthews (https://developers.qsc.com/s/question/0D54X00008Beoo7SAB/95-appears-to-have-broken-using-components-inside-of-plugins) and Paul provided his blessing in that same thread to keep using it and tinkering with it.

I have confirmed this as working on v9.13.1 LTS, and I have posted it here so it's easier for me to share with others.

This version also makes one modification over the original - enabling input pins (thanks Reid Wall). I have bumped the version to v2.1.7 as it combines changes by both Mike and Reid. (Mike's on the forums was v2.1.6)

There are other, newer sACN plugins available these days, which you may choose to use instead of this older one:

This is a template for Smarts Broadcast Skylla (http://www.smartsbroadcast.com/skylla/).

Use the 'RBDS Device Type' 'ASCII', and then input the XML template as supplied here.

This template allow you to send data from MegaSeg to MetaRadio.

Either template can be used, but users of MegaSeg 6.2.3 or later should use the JSON format.

To set this up, go to MegaSeg > Settings > Logging, select 'Telnet' from the dropdown, paste the template into the "Server URL field" and check the box next to "Send track info to server". All other fields can be left empty.

Ensure you change the IP Address "127.0.0.1" to the IP Address of your computer running MetaRadio, and make sure you use the same port number (e.g. 23901) in both MegaSeg and MetaRadio.

PlayIt Live Template

This template is designed to work with the Generic File/IP listeners in MetaRadio, and the PlayIt Live Now Playing plugin (https://www.playitsoftware.com/Plugins/View/NowPlaying).
