Frontend app for CasparCG Server. For more information visit CasparCG's forum: https://casparcgforum.org/
This app launches and keeps track of the configured executables, restarting them when they crash and if wanted avoiding running multiple instances of the same executable.
It has a focus on CasparCG server processes and dependencies (casparcg.exe, scanner.exe and casparcg.config) and it provides a UI for editing options for the latter, but it can be used to launch and keep alive any program.
This is a Windows desktop app requiring the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime in case the framework independent binaries are used. It can be downloaded here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0
The simplest way of running CasparCG server is to place this executable inside the server folder and run it with the default executables.
It can also be installed in a common folder (like %PROGRAMFILES%) and point to the path to the executables manually.
To run the app at startup simply check "Open at login" from the Options menu.
- Open
CasparLauncher.slnin Visual Studio 2022 and select the CasparLauncher project then click Build > Publish. - Inside the 'CasparLauncher: Publish' window, select either
FrameworkIndpendent.pubxmlorSelfContained_x64.pubxmlthen click Publish. This will build the project into the bin\Release folder and pack all the assemblies into a single exe. The framework independent publish will generate a binary that uses the system's latest .NET Desktop framework (requiring at least .NET 8 to be installed) and the self contained will pack the latest framework version available to Visual Studio at build time.
