Hi there,
Sounds like there are a few of us - ok .. at least two :-) who would like a live data overlay solution for iRacing replays.
In fact, once I started experimenting with ATVO, which is awesome .. I developed an idea for my streaming channel where the "business model" (for lack of a better term) relies on the ability to broadcast a replay with ATVO overlays using the replay data to feed the overlay graphics.
I understand that ATVO is built for live broadcasters, and from what I've seen so far, it's an amazing tool for that.
But some of the comments in this thread lead me to a few more questions, in the hopes that there might be an option to use ATVO on iRacing replays in the same way you can for live races.
@Simon Grossman, you said earlier: "We never test our code with replay files, we only test we recordings of live sessions which replays the original data the iRSDK sent during the session."
I find that to be very interesting. How exactly to you record the live sessions with the iRSDK data? Do you have a proprietary tool for this? Is this available for beta testing?
For the purposes of the channel I wish to build, this is the functionality I am hoping for:
- Ability to show Qualifying results (order and time) from a replay - Ability to show starting grid order from a replay - Ability to add ticker with time behind leader for all cars from a replay - Ability to add ticker with delta behind car in front from a replay - Ability to show lap times for all cars from a replay
That would be enough for me to generate a "broadcast" from an iRacing replay file.
I read from your other comments about the new beta data delay feature that you might be able to add a bit more functionality for the local car, but that the data structure wouldn't support positions or lap times .. so, as a non-developer, clearly I don't have a full understanding of these limitations.
It would be the best Christmas present ever, even to learn that there might be a possibility in the future to use ATVO on replay files, as I have some big plans for growing a channel. From Laflèche's original question, I'm definitely not inventing this idea .. but I have some neat ideas i'd really like to try out, but I can only do that if ATVO can support the big vision I have in my mind :-)
Season's greetings to you all .. and maybe I'll see some of you on the virtual track!
