hello mark, we used qc for a digital signage solution and had the problem, that the client wanted to have a preview of some clips on his windows machine. so we set up a callback service.
1. the client requests a clip on the server 2. the server changes a flag 3. qc is checking from time to time if the flag is set (xml) 4. if its set it calculates the preview 5. when its done it changes back the flag. 6. meanwhile the preview window (html) is checking if the content is available the patch was compiled into an application and starts automatically best, stefan On Dec 12, 2010, at 5:19 AM, Mark Engelhardt wrote: > On Dec 11, 2010, at 6:57 PM, Alastair Leith wrote: > >> Hi Mark >> >> I'm not sure if you are thinking to run the .qtz file server side or client >> side. > > Alastair, > > For my application it needs to be server side. > >> >> Sounds like you are thinking server side in which case you made need to >> create an App for the .qtz file and run that from cmd line and then get the >> results in whatever way as a web native file jpeg, h264, etc. Cocoa is Not >> my dept so take that with advised tonne of sea-salt. > > I found this tutorial via google: > > https://www.georgestarcher.com/?p=254 > > I wonder if this is essentially what I need to do? > >> >> Another route is an Applescript command to have Quartz Composer open the >> file, Viewer Window and run it, but the .qtz file would need to export the >> result(s) itself.
