Blinker - Priority

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.

Configuration

The configuration of the priority module with name NAME is located in the priority/NAME subdirectory.

Input List

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:

Input Stream

The file instream contains the name of the stream to read for this input.

Output Stream

The file outstream contains the name of the stream to send the frames to.
