The priority module is used to select one of several streams. The selection is done on a priority basis. Among all streams providing a frame, the one with the highest priority is chosen.
The configuration of the priority module with name NAME
is located in the priority/NAME subdirectory.
The inputs to be possibly selected are configured in the
inputs subdirectory.
Each input is configured in an own subdirectory in inputs.
E.g. the configurations for inputs with names 000lowprio
and 999highprio reside in subdirectories
inputs/000lowprio and inputs/999highprio
respectively.
All inputs are assigned a priority according to their alphanumerical
order, i.e. 999highprio is selected over
000lowprio if both provide a frame.
The configuration inside an input subdirectory consists of the following settings:
The file instream contains the name of the stream to
read for this input.
The file outstream contains the name of the stream to
send the frames to.
