Hi  
I know it works somehow, because i saw it in the past working 😉

I am trying to establish a Websocket connection, but don’t get how.

Is there any help around? Do i need to add this functionality somehow to Saola?

Thx and Greetings

Christian

Hi Hang

Thx for quick reply!

Will take a look inte the movies!

What i am trying is: building a nice animated gui to control Hardware in a conference room. For this i need a communication channel the the media control system. This i would like to archive via WebSockets. I need to send date back and force, to trigger events and update the gui with properties like for eg. Volume.
