Stream Deck, TeamViewer, and QLab
« on: August 22, 2020, 02:06:18 PM »

Anyone use a Stream Deck over team viewer? Meaning the Stream Deck is with you and you are controlling another computer connected through Team Viewer.

I have a remote rig with 2 Team Viewer Machines. One is a Control Machine running TF Editor connected to a TF Mixer. The other machine is a Playback Machine running Qlab... I would love to be able to remotely control the qlab ques using a Stream Deck or X-keys.

Using Unity Intercom to monitor audio.

Thanks
Ben

I use n/Grok. No need for TV and works like a hot damn.

For those of us with poor memory skills, can you walk us through the basic mechanics of how that works?

So, i went out and bought a StreamDeck Mini and answered my own question.

It works pretty well so far.

At first I set up the control software on the remote computer that is running Qlab and the StreamDeck would not connect.

After that, I installed the control software on my local computer.. It connected. I mad a few buttons for simple Hotkey key strokes that Qlab has.. Go is Spacebar, Up is Up down is Down, Anything that has a Hotkey in the program you can program a key for on the StreamDeck. Then in the settings of the control software you can select a default program for the commands to be used. In this case, TeamViewer.

Boom it works! As long I am focused in to the correct software on the remote computer. The commands from the StreamDeck pass from my local computer to the remote machine.. The only problem now is that I have to run multiple TeamViewer machines at once.. I'm going to need a dedicated computer for that remote session only.. That way when i click back into my console remote session i don't go issuing key strokes for that software.

Fascinating. This is incredibly useful to know.

Just to be clear, you're not using Companion, you're using the native StreamDeck control software?

MUCH easier with Companion. No need for the software to be "focused" and no need for TeamViewer. If you don't want a dedicated computer just for the SD you can use an RPI. Definitely no need for TV on a local network, and optional over the internet.

It's all doable, just some steps to go through if you're doing this for the first time. I probably should make a video on how to do all this when I get some time. Too many other pressing things atm! (Sorry, Brian!)
