My Video Recording / Streaming Dashboard Overlay

Post by gonzogilbert » Thu Mar 11, 2021 10:46 pm

Hi, not sure how many of you record or stream your flights but as I enjoy doing I wanted to add an overlay of data to my videos, a bit like GoPro and others do. Not really seeing much specific for flight or that fits the bill I developed my own.

However, as I thought others might benefit from it I decided to make it very customisable.

It captures the data from condor and then outputs this stream of key parameters which can be displayed easily and is completely customisable using simple HTML.

The actual render is all done in HTML (and a as a minimum one JavaScript function). It therefore can be overlaid using the popular OBS recording/streaming software.

Using HTML provides you with a blank canvas to display and layout the data completely as you wish. You can just show the numbers, or create full gauges using HTML5. The example video shows a simple HTML5 layout I put together. The update frequency can be as you please, in the video it is 500ms.

If there is some interest I will clean it and release it.

Thanks

That’s very cool. Looks great. I’m not sure if I would use it. Well I would if I got off my butt but life gets busy. (2 butts :lol: )

What software are you using to record Condor with please?

Haha thanks.

I’m using OBS, for some reason it originally said ODB in my original post, not quite sure how that happened.

Without seeming too brief... YES! I think there would be a huge uptake of your code.

Do you need any help?

Yes, so OBS does a great job. because of that I would use your overlay. Thanks!

Here's a quick test I did with not such a good result - on the aviating part that is!
