paps-settings

Plugin for the paps framework adding a simple way to control plugins from a web browser by inherting from SettablePlugin and providing html/js files.

This package has two parts: the webserver and the plugin. For the time being to run the webserver you have to get the git repository and call the create_server method in app/server.py or execute app/server.py directly. This will create a flask app running on a twisted server.

The second part is a normal paps plugin which can be installed from PyPI. By executing the settings plugin together with one or more SettablePlugin s inside a CrowdController it will first connect to the webserver via a websocket, autodetect all available plugins and register them with the server backend. This involves beside providing basic information on the plugin, uploading the provided resource-files. By separating the webserver serving the actual http traffic (files, etc.) and the plugins (potentially to another machine), the load on maschine handling the core paps functionality gets reduced.

For example plugins have a look at the following plugins:

• DummyPlugin - demo plugin from the paps example directory extended for usage with paps-settings and demonstrating two configurable values

• SoundMix - a plugin to create audience based sound mixing

• Realtime - a plugin to display audience seating status live
