Telegram message to Resolume Text Block

Hey everyone...just want to gather some ideas from you guys

A friend and I are trying to achieve the following:

We have a Telegram Group with a couple of users in it.

Every time a new message pop's up
"something" has to recognize the new message >
copy it >
and send it via OSC String to the Text-Block into Resolume.


Any ideas? :P



Best wishes

I built this guy as a gift to the industry during 2020's pandemic. I'm sure if Telegram has an API you can connect with, you could do something similar with websockets.

We already tried that 😃....sadly it's all outdated. There is a guy who is working on a new compatible version..... but its not ready yet.

Well that's unfortunately. Glad it's still being actively worked on.

Not sure ho telegram supplies stuff, like if there is an RSS feed, but with the new Resolume API, you could use curl to get a website, some bash magic to get the text you want and send that to Resolume clip via curl post again.

Can you give me an example for the curl post syntax to send a string into a "Textblock" textbox?

So, turns out text params are missing from the API, we'll fix that.

Meanwhile using OSC should work then.
Python has an OSC library ;)
