Spectrum Playout
The Spectrum Playout module is a module that allows control of a Spectrum playout through a web service. Currently, the Spectrum is controlled by the Spectrum Player API, which is a DLL that cannot be directly used by a web browser.
Setup
The installation of a Spectrum playout is done by a dynamic playbook. Below is an example (91_vpms3.playoutspectrum.v2.yaml):
################################################
# playoutspectrum #
################################################

playoutspectrum:
base:
default:
#######################################################
# App Paths / subpaths / routes #
#######################################################
app_path_playoutspectrum: '/playoutspectrum'

ingress:
playoutspectrum:
tls:
"{{ lookup('prepared_config', 'kubernetesPublicEndpoint') }}":
hosts:
- "{{ lookup('prepared_config', 'kubernetesPublicEndpoint') }}"
No special configuration besides the version of the Helm chart and the Docker images is necessary. Setup can be done using the tag “playoutspectrum”.
Then a set of endpoints has been created which need no further configuration as all necessary information can be provided in the calls.
