&viewslot

Enables viewing a specific slot from a scene link when the director is using &slotmode

The &viewslot parameter enables viewing a specific slot from a scene link when the director is using &slotmode. This creates a single-video view of whatever is assigned to that slot number.

Usage

Basic syntax for viewing a specific slot: /?scene&viewslot=1&room=ROOMNAME

Key Features

The &viewslot parameter provides single-video viewing of slot assignments with these characteristics:

• Only shows content from the specified slot number

• Dynamically updates when directors change slot assignments

• Optimizes performance by only loading the visible video stream

• Disables layouts and auto-mixing functionality

• Requires director to be using &slotmode

Performance Optimization

By default, only the visible video stream is connected to reduce CPU and network load. Two parameters control this behavior:

&nohiddensceneoptimization    # Prevents optimization of hidden elements
&hiddenscenebitrate=VALUE     # Sets custom bitrate for hidden videos (default: 0)
