Download the last GR TV Plugin version

Hello,
I am glad to share the Plugin TV for rF2 I have been working on. The complete tool has been designed
to provide support to race broadcasting and ingame drivers. This support consists of a set of customizable information
overlay widgets and a camera/replay selection manager that can be remotely controlled by
GRTVPluginConsole.exe.

All widgets are autonomous, except the WeatherFull widget (Radar) that need a running Remove Console, as it is the console that collect/build the image and send it to the plugin via UDP.
Any existing UI stay compatible with newer realease of the plugin. So you have all your time to add new widgets, and you don't need to rework your UI at each plugin delivery.

REMINDER: No plugin is running when you replay a VCR file. This this plugin cannot be use to broadcast recorded race.

Installation
1. Copy GRTvPlugin.dll (32bits) or GRTvPlugin_x64.dll (64bits) into /plugin folder of the rF2 folder where you want to install the plugin.
2. Copy GRTvPlugin folder into /userdata/player folder. This folder contains the GRTvPlugin.ini file.
3. Copy RemoteConsole.C# folder wherever you want. Although unnecessary, I would still recommend
to put it into rF2 root or otherwise some people will forget where they had put it.

Configuration
It is not recommended to change default port numbers unless you know what you are doing.
These values are defined in GRTvPlugin.ini file contained in GRTvPlugin.

Standard port values are:

• remote console listen on localhost:668
• plugin listen on localhost:669

TV plugin Customisation
The tool is delivered with two UI:
- Classic (Demo of all widgets) Default UI
- Gt-Series (based on Blancpain)

Edit "GRTvPlugin.ini" to specify which UI ini to use (to use the gt-series, uncomment its line and
comment the other one)
