Hey thanks for this video. Most useful. I have taken a step in lighting my gaming room for my next adventure where I need an ocean wave effect. I bought a cheap wave light projector IR controlled. I thought it will do for now see how we get on and in the future replace it with something that can be SteamDeck controlled (when I get one) but thanks to this I can see its not a wasted investment as I can use an IR blaster and control it via SteamDeck. Sounds I wrote my own soundboard application ( I am a software engineer by trade) that I control with a home made "steamdeck" (I have a video about it) but even my home made software from watching this I think I can even use a real steamdeck with that! Really useful video. Thank you.

Thats awesome, however I would love to see a video or instruction to control the Godox ES45 with the stream deck. I was doing a search and got your video recommended.

@Atmoseeker Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! My first thought was if Godox was a service on IFTTT, then that could be triggered on the streamdeck, but unfortunately it's not there. Next I had a quick test with my godox SL-60w remote trying to get one of the RF blasters to work with it, but I think the ones I have can't do the right frequency. So my last thought is using a smart plug and triggering that off/on which seems to work well, but you don't get to control some of the settings on the light

There is a video on the way that'll look at that setup, but in short I use the streamdeck to open a local video file in full screen (with the projector/tv set as a second monitor). I use VLC player set as the default media player for video files. If a video is playing in full screen, a newly opened video will open in that existing full screen window.

Do you recommend Philips Hue Play? They are quite small and expensive. I would use them as a ambient light as I don't want to fill my room with any big stands (living room, not a dedicated space).

@Atmoseeker 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah they're quite pricey, but easy to set up. If you're in a living space I would more recommend some smart bulbs than hue plays. That way you can pop them in existing sockets or lamps. I use a couple of yeelight brand bulbs that are a bit more affordable, although they'll need IFTTT to change lighting scenes. I'm mostly using the hue plays here because they're more directional

@@Atmoseeker 1- You will need an app that will allow midi to be sent through your computer. Think of it like a port, for midi controllers. I used "loopMIDI" and created a port named "streamdeck" 2- Within the streamdeck plugins, install Music - Midi by Trevliga Spel. 3- In Streamdeck, you can use the same calls you did before but, insteal of focus and keypress, use the midi controll. Choose Channel 1, then just select any key. I used 60+. On the midi out port, select the loopMIDI port you created previously. 4- In QLC+ under inputs/outputs, you should see the port you created previously. Make sure it is checked as an input 5- Have your scenes set up with functions and a virtual console, just like in your video. The only thing we will change will be, rather than having a key combination, we use an external input. You can use autodetect and press your key on your streamdeck to have it loaded up by QLC+ Hopefully this was clear and helpful!

For video backgrounds I use VLC player for my default program for opening videos. I'll then already have a video playing in VLC in full screen so when a new video file is opened by the streamdeck it'll open that in the already maximised window. If VLC tries to open a new window, there are settings in VLC to make sure it only has one instance of VLC playing.
