I am starting my first foray into Resolume. Not at all new to media servers though. My main squeezes are Hippotizer and disguise. This gig I have been assigned to is using Resolume, so I have to learn it.
One thing that I am having a hard time finding anything about is a way to control the playout machines with another remote machine, via network.
Hippotizer uses Zookeeper. I can have the biggest, baddest Hippos doing all of the work, and have just a little laptop at FOH to access literally everything I need to control the show from.
With disguise, I can have a laptop as a remote editor. I can get into the showfile and edit/operate literally anything in the show.
Is this something that exists for Resolume?
Am I missing something?
Re: Am I missing something?
I also use disguise.
Resolume Arena does not have an editor and does not have framelock or genlock between machines.
You can use the classic KVM but with NDI KVM for example.
When you have completed the project, you can use the same projects on a number of computers and use the osc to cascade them.
Also useful for making a main/backup system.

Re: Am I missing something?
I came from Hippos way back in the day myself. For Resolume I find that Anydesk or any other RDC works best. If you just want to control the media server without adding or moving clips, but still have full ui control, you can use the built in webserver

Re: Am I missing something?
There seems to be a few of us here who are leaving hippo behind, not sure weather should read something into this or not...
I too have been been pondering this one.
I had thought about using any old machine as a "master" and just syncing the others via OSC.
The master could even be very low power with static screenshots or title cards to follow the script to.
The shame is that there's no real control for programming, it's just a playback "interface". Unless you spent ages linking osc commands of layers and clips to specific machines and the master machine has ALL the layers/groups of all the machines represented. Possibly acceptable in the future after the recent instagram post showing ability to collapse layers/groups.
Next I'd just thought of the plain and simple, tried and tested, fall back on programming and control via a lighting desk.
Make up a relevant head file for chamsys of whatever floats your boat and go for it.
So, cough cough devs cough.
There seems to be desire for a customizable interface where you can patch in layers of remote machines on a network..... Even if no live preview or like hippos, low framerate and res snapshots... but with all the control pins.

Re: Am I missing something?
Have you tried the rest api and the webserver example? RDC is still a great solution if you need to edit/add clips, but just for playback the webserver is the way. any cellphone or tablet can run it.
