Hello

This is an awesome tool. thanks for sharing this.

Is is possible to call different actions. So instead of a camera start a macro. that would be awesome to work with overlays.

another nice thing would be a shut down function at the very top left corner, to safely shut down the raspberry.

Thanks for your work

kind regards Patrick

Node.js 9.x is no longer actively supported!

You will not receive security or critical stability updates for this version.

You should migrate to a supported version of Node.js as soon as possible.
Use the installation script that corresponds to the version of Node.js you
wish to install. e.g.

• https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x — Node.js 10 LTS "Dubnium"
• https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x — Node.js 12 LTS "Erbium" (recommended)
• https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x — Node.js 14 LTS "Fermium"

Please see https://github.com/nodejs/Release for details about which
version may be appropriate for you.

The NodeSource Node.js distributions repository contains
information both about supported versions of Node.js and supported Linux
distributions. To learn more about usage, see the repository:

pi@raspberrypi:~/multiviewTouchControl $node --version
v10.21.0
`

but i keep on having 10.21.0 and cant get it to work.

Sorry that i opened another issue about the same thing.

But i don't get it to work with the Macros. From the previous issue you wrote it should be mainswitcher.macroStart(macroIndex), so this would actually be mainswitcher.macroStart(2); to start the third Macro, right?
I tried different combinations with start, run, setMacroAction, but none of them work. What am I doing wrong?

I did get to work a "cut" or "changePrevieInput" to Media Player 1, so I am on the right page.

Would be nice to have a list of possible commands like this:
mainswitcher.cut()
mainswitcher.changePreviewInput(videosource)
mainswitcher.changeProgramInput(videosource)
// videosource = 1-20 Inputs, 1000 Bars, 2001-2 Color, 3010 Media Player 1, 3011 Media Player 1 key, 3020 Media Player 2, 3021 Media Player 2 Key, 6000 Super Source, 7001-2 Clean Feed, 8001-6 Auxilary
