AddIn direct output

[ctmal]

Does anybody know how to send data directly to the channel output plugins from an AddIn? I'm looking for a basic fuctionality of something like the test channels function. The end result is I'd like a way to make setting up skull profiles in the Skull Sequencer addIn easier...and maybe add an option to use the direct output for sequencing.

Thanks,
Chris

There are already a couple of channel test functions in Vixen. However, if they don't do what you need them to, there is a way to invoke a plug-in even if there's no official Vixen API to do that. Basically, you must instantiate the plug-in object yourself, passing in a couple of objects related to the sequence, and then invoke the Initialize, Start, Event, and Stop methods.

I think I've got it. You need to use the IExecutable interface. I actually had it working before I asked and didn't know it(I had the output plugin mis-configured so it wouldn't work right).

Thanks for the help!
