Remote OnAir Viewer

Post by owienk »

Hello Bernd,

Is it possible to remove or disable Control-Commands in the Remote OnAir Viewer?
We want to use the Remote OnAir Viewer for DJs who are only allowed to watch along in the Viewer

No the remote viewer works as is.
But you don’t have to assign any commands to it - then DJs can not use them…

True, But they can fill in some of their own and with bad luck cause damage in the server.

Unlikely. What damage should it be?
You mainly control playback with remote commands - which is the job of a DJ anyhow.
Biggest damage is bad music and bad talks…

But yes, there theoretically chances… but then don’t give them access to keyboards, USB etc. that is a much bigger security issue.

At our place, proppfrexx spins as non-stop during the day, and in the evenings and on weekends, a DJ spins from a home studio via the Modstream.
So these DJs want to watch along in the Remote OnAir viewer when they need to switch in after the news.
Now they can send commands like "Modstream Watcher stop" or something similar on purpose or accidentally.

As said, yes they can theoretically do something harmful - but why should they. If you don’t, they can do something more harmful by talking bad.
And exactly for such reason (start or stop a ModStream Watcher), so they can ‚take over‘ at a certain time their live stream from home, I added those remote command options.

As said, currently there is no way to disable or hide the remote buttons in the remote viewer.

But I can of course add a payed version with special user rights and additional options!
