Pixotope Store - API

Description

Pixotope Store is a Pixotope Service which exists only once per network. It can be considered the main backend component of a Pixotope Network, even though states can also live outside of the Store itself.

List of responsibilities

Storing global data (such as Cameras, VideoIOs, Show Settings, etc) in its own State (meaning it is per Show)
- The State of Store is very malleable and can fit any custom data you want to put into it
Keeping memory of all states (its own and all service states) in .pxshow files. This way you can switch between complete sets of states (Shows)
Exposing specific backend data (that is within its domain) to anyone interested
- For example showing which clients are connected to the network, or what shows are available
Exposing specific backend functionality (that is within its domain) to anyone interested
- For example giving the possibility to add a camera, or change a show

Store can run in two modes, server or standalone. The mode is passed to Store on startup, along with an optional IP for broadcasting on, like so:

BASH

./Store.exe --mode server --ip 192.168.0.1
