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.
