Video Overlays in Train view

[Kelvin Gyoerick]

How to activate or configure?

[Darren Cope]

I was wondering the same! Is there a write-up or demo somewhere?

[Mark Liversedge]

Its via an XML file at present and Vianney is looking at making it more user friendly in v4 .......

Hi Mark, I'm probably missing stuff (as usual :-). That would be "video-layout.xml", correct?  I put it in my ~/.goldencheetah/'athlete'/config folder, but couldn't get it working under Linux with VLC. The only place I could find "video-layout.xml" referenced in the source is in VideoWindow.cpp where it looks to be within a "#ifdef WIN32" block. Is it restricted to Windows? Maybe the Linux Qt video widget can't handle overlays? No big problem, but just curious.
Thanks!

[Mark Liversedge]

I really need Vianney to explain !

I look forward to it as my Tacx TTS experience continues to degrade

This works very well in Windows - just copy the video-layout.xml into the config folder.  It's really nice!  You can't see the overlay until you hit the play button.

I have 2 questions, though.  I can't find how to switch this from kph to mph on the speed graph (all of my settings are set to imperial, and the xml file is pulling from "Speed").  Also, is there a list of the available sources, so I can add some more things to the view such as target power?

Thanks,

Will

[Darren Cope]

Will; sounds great! However, I did a search for video-layout.xml, and couldn't find it. Where do I find the file in order to copy into the config folder?

[Will]

It is on github in src / xml. If you Google "video-layout.xml goldencheetah" it is the top result.

[Kelvin Gyoerick]

Thank you, I had attempted this before but my mistake had been right-clicking and saving the file instead of copy pasting it's contents.

[Will]

Cool, good to know that it works on a Mac.

[G Coco]

Here is a no frills text only overlay.

Puts Speed, Power, Cadence and Heart rate at the bottom of the screen.

[vlcvboyer]

Hi,

Please find below a short information on video overlays:

video overlays in current GC release is limited to windows platform only as I was unable to test it on OSX or Linux but it will be extended soon as it is based on QT only which is cross platform. However it requires minor variations dedicated to each platform.

It is automatically activated when a video-layout.xml file is found in configuration folder.

I've not made any tutorial in regard with file format but feel free to analyse it in order to adapt the layout to your needs.

You'll see that position and size are relative to container (main one is video but some sub widgets can be created such as text included in a meter)

My objective is to merge the two concepts: original GC subwindows and the overlays into one consistent and user friendly one. Thus I'll probably not create a tutorial for this one which shall disapear or be modified in the coming months!

Hope this will help!

Do not hesitate to give any feedback or improvement/feature request!

Best Regards

Vianney

please see a screenshot of mine below:

note: elevation profile is not included in the latest public release

[Stacey Kennedy, P.E.]

Hello Vlcvboyer

Your screen shot with the nice video overlay is impressive.

Is there any chance you could post or attach your video-layout.xml.

Thanks,

Stacey

Looks like just about everything you need is there .. as Stacey said any chance of uploading the config file?

[G Coco]

After the reorg at Github the file is at: 

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/master/src/Resources/xml/video-layout.xml 

Right click and Save as or equivalent. I have attached it here.

Please note that elevation is not yet possible and the code has not made it into the code base.

There is also the simple layout that I did that is attached here.

[Stacey Kennedy, P.E.]

Thank you for the code. I have it installed and everything is in place for my 4am bike ride.

[Stacey Kennedy, P.E.]

Hello Vianney / vlcboyer / G Coco and anyone that knows the variable names used in Video-Overlays.

I have my cadence and Heart rate displaying on my video-overlay and I understand the format of the code.

Can you assist me with identifying the proper variable names for:   Elapsed Time and Distance.

I have tried the following variations for the Elapsed Time and Distance with no joy:

<meter name="Elapsed Time" container="Video" source="Elapsed Time" type="Text">

and

<meter name="Elapsed-Time" container="Video" source="ElapsedTime" type="Text">

and

<meter name="Distance" container="Video" source="Distance" type="Text">

Thank you greatly.

[pt.carl...@gmail.com]

+1 and target power, please

thank you, in advance 

[Todd Cannon]

What formatting of the xml file makes the overlay work for OSX? Tried using file linked in the thread but didn't work.

[Will]

It doesn't work in OSX yet.

From my understanding the only overlays you can use at this time are:

Speed, Cadence, Watt and HRM

There is a pull request (1698) which adds some other overlays (distance, duration and gradient) but that has been sitting for a while now.

[Peter K]

Hi Stacey,

Did you ever get a list of the variables?

Not Stacey, sorry :)

Original variables were the ones cited by Gareth: Speed, Cadence, Watt and HRM

Per Stacey request recently Load, Time, LapTime, LapTimeRemaining and ErgTimeRemaining were added, these are available in v3.5 RC2X.

Additionally the standard video-layout.xml will be copied automatically to athlete’s config if no one is present when Video is started so it can be customized, if you don’t want overlays clear the file contents and let it empty.

Still Windows only.

[Peter K]

Thanks Ale, sorry for the confusion. I'm running 3.5 RC1, how can i get RC2X?

Hi,

 

I’m glad to see that few people are using this feature!

 

I’ve not opened this code since several years however I’m sure that overlays feature should not be difficult to activate for other operating systems as I was mainly using QT library.

I was unable to test it on Linux due to drivers issues and have no OSX at all. Thus I didn’t activate this code as it was not tested.

 

Feel free to try by yourself it should really not be difficult.

 

Another development which is video/speed synchronization may be harder to make it working as, at that time I discovered some differences in VLC library depending on target architecture.

 

Best regards

 

Vianney

Hi Vianney,

The feature is very nice, thank you for all your hard work. One question for you, in the screen shoot you shared in the past i can see additional fields, %grade and ride profile. Are those also available or was this something you compiled while testing?

Thanks again.

Peter

Hi Peter,

 

I suppose that as a minimum I push it in the git repository but I cannot confirm if it was merged into the global project at that time.

If this is the case you just have to change the configuration file in order to add this widget wherever you want on the screen.

 

 

FYI here is the configuration file I have on my computer:

Hi Vianney, I tried when enabled the copy of video-layout.xml to user’s folder, (https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/commit/32ae63a2b50ddfa22dbe76941f708a371379bb10), it was easy to make it to compile on Linux but got some obscure Qt errors are video reproduction time I could not debug and let it Windows only, both vlc and Qt video gave similar errors. I can try again and report back just in case you have a clue.

Thanks!

Hi Vianney,

Thanks for sharing this. I tried it but it doesn't seem to work. I believe Ale mentioned that only some variables are possible. Hopefully they can be added in a later release.

Peter

[pepe lisbon]

Hi,

In Training Mode, Main panel with Video and overlays goes blank after going fullscreen  F11, audio continuous to play. Remains blank  even when switching  to Activities Mode.

Needs a GC restart.

Does anyone know  a possible fix?

Thanks,

Pepe

[Ale Martinez (Please don't email or cc me)]

It seems the Vianney's code including the elevation widget never was incorporated to master code: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/pull/1698

To add distance and to make it and speed respond to metric/imperial setting seems easy, similar to add other realtime variables

[Peter K]

Hi Ale,

Are you saying that these variables are already in RC2X? I'm still not having any luck and the speed variable is still in kph rather than mph.

Peter

[Peter K]

Sorry Ale, i misread your post. I just realized that you said the code was not incorporated.

Peter

[Eric Christoffersen]

On both of my win10 machines these overlays seem to appear about 60% of the time that I start an RLV. Seems to be lower % the more times I startup GC. I'm thinking some physical memory fragmentation or something? Anyone else seeing this behavior?

[Peter K]

My overlays work fine if i go to full screen (F11). The widgets go slightly off the original position if i hide side and/bottom panels but i still see them.

[Peter K]

Hi Ale,

Are you planning to incorporate Vianney's widget and other variables in any of the future releases? I was reading the exchange between Mark and Vianney and i love the idea of the video as a background with transparent widgets. Hoping for an ETA since you mentioned that the changes seem easy :-)

This is what I wrote: "To add distance and to make it and speed respond to metric/imperial setting seems easy, similar to add other realtime variables", this is low hanging fruit and I can add for the next build.

WRT to elevation widget there are parts marked as TODO and it would need more testing but I don't know how much, other things discussed in that thread are even less clear to me.

 

Peter

[Peter K]

Thank you!!! I'm looking forward to the next build.

[Ale Martinez (Please don't email or cc me)]

I added Distance to sources and made it and speed to honor metric/imperial setting.

Load was changed to behave according to mode as the Dial Widget to show Target Power or Slope.

Distance, Elapsed Time and Load are now in the sample video-layout.xml, it looks like this:

This will be available in the next build, hope it will be release 3.5, to activate this video-layout.xml you need to remove the one you have in athlete's config.

Other sources available, but not displayed are LapTime, LapTimeRemaining and ErgTimeRemaining.

[Peter K]

Thanks Ale, the screen shot looks great.

Peter

[Peter K]

Hi Ale,

I was playing around with the current video-layout.xml and it seems that the heart rate field returns "bpm" as part of the value. Is there any way to remove it? I'm trying to setup as may of the fields as i can as "CircularBargraph".

Also any chance we can get a copy of the latest dev build?

No, but since is a fixed string and for consistency we should remove it from the code and add it to the xml.

We are not producing intermediate dev builds other than the ones in github releases.

The AppVeyor-ci script builds just an exe for now, for the future it would be interesting to build and installer there and to upload it for user tests like we do on Travis-ci for Linux and macOS.

Done. It will be available on next build, hopefully release.

[Peter K]

Great!!!. Thanks for your hard work Ale.

One other thing i notices is that when the screen size changes (toggle sidebar) the overlay items shift to the left. When i toggle the sidebar again, they jump back to the correct location. Is this an xml config issue or is it in the code?

TIA.

Peter

[Peter K]

Hi Ale,

I just realized that the speedometer has the same issue. It appears the "kph" is not in the xml file. Hopefully it is also easily fixed before the next release.

No, speed and distance are different since they depend on metric/imperial setting.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I got it right. Is it already working on MacOS? I had been using it in Windows for a while (and really enjoyed it!). Now I had to switch laptops with my kid and went back to my old MacBookPro. Copied everything over and GC is running fine for training. No overlays on video during workout, though.

Is there anything else I should be doing (added a video chart in training mode and copied the video-layout.xml from my pc laptop (that had overlays adjusted to my screen and stuff).

Thanks for any help!

I would like to add 2 comments:

1) For users: In 3.6 it is possible to select between several pre-configured layouts without the need to edit xml files, elevation profile is available and there is a new Live Map widget. Windows and Linux are supported. See https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/FAQ-TRAIN#how-can-i-have-synchronized-video-in-my-training-session

2) For macOS developers: it is trivial to enable overlay widgets for macOS at build time (see https://github.com/amtriathlon/GoldenCheetah/commit/eca4cd4ad9b9a9f485f47b21c6e6748d3e1a1787) but they don't work in my limited tests, if a macOS developer can make they to work, help is welcome.

[fredcos...@gmail.com]

Thanks!

[Ale Martinez]

BTW, on macOS it is currently possible to have Live Map, Elevation profile and Dials parallel (not over) to the video window, see https://groups.google.com/g/golden-cheetah-users/c/nkwcG_OV2jI/m/KalZ3vOSBAAJ

[Alex Saiz]

Hi,

is it possible to get the video overlay displayed in Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon? I do see the metrics but unfortunately no video. 

I tried it with the 3.5 and the actual 3.6 DEV.

[Ale Martinez]

It should work, unless the video you are trying is unsupported by the VLC version included, try running:

./GoldenCheetah_v3.6-DEV_x64.AppImage --debug
and check for errors reported at the launching terminal.

[Ale Martinez]

I assumed you already added a Video chart to your Train View config, if this is not the case see https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_ChartTypes_Train#video-player

[Alex Saiz]

Thx for the replay -  i think, we are getting closer :-)

I already added a videoplayer chart. But in the video chart i do only see the google maps, the elevation and the other metrics but not the selected video. I tried the same video in VLC direct and it was displayed perfectly.

Now i tried with the debug command you gave me and i got an codec error:

"core decoder error: Codec `h264' (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)) is not supported."

If i open the video in VLC, it is displayed with this codec. hm.

Any idea why VLC is supporting the video codec directly but not integrated into GC?

BTW: THANK YOU and averybody else developing and supporting that great tool and also to make it possible to use it in the Linux environment!

If i open the video in VLC, it is displayed with this codec. hm.

Any idea why VLC is supporting the video codec directly but not integrated into GC?

GC includes a vlc version with a set of codecs which may differ from those installed in your system, check Help > About > version on both.

AppImage files can be extracted to a normal folder running:

./GoldenCheetah*.AppImag —appImage-extract

Then you can inspect/replace files, run GC frame there, etc.

See also https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/VLC-Troubleshooting if you want to use the system vlc.

It is expected users to upgrade to the latest build of the version they are using before to report an issue, just in case it is already fixed…

I think this could be the right place for this request. Is it possible to access the VLC interface when cycling? It would be nice to cycle listening a .m3u playlist and/or having subtitles to inform you about what's going on (I mean subtitles are distributed like another .rlv and pop up information as HUD for the  RLV and are community maintained to display comments from the others to the athlete). Obviously there should be some options to handle the music playlist. Not to mention the possibility of integrating  GC with Skype/Zoom
