[Feature Request]: Support for Hollyland Wireless Tally System

[Christoph111]

What feature would you like to see added to TallyArbiter?

Hi there, i purchased the new Hollyland Wireless Tally System and would really love to use it with tallyArbiter since (with atem mixers) it only listenes to the program/preview bus and totally ignores the keyers/supersource (i wrote to their support, maybe the add this feature). it connects as a vmix listener but does not display anything....

Any progress on this topic? I'm also trying to connect the Hollyland tally system with Arbiter. In the vMix Software the connection is fine.

I don’t have one of these systems. So without one, not sure how to add support. Maybe someone else will come along that wants to do it.

I reached out for hollyland support and they were amazed by tallyarbiter…maybe they add something in future updates, but hey did not make any promise

Reach back out and have them send me a free unit 😅😅😅

hey, i just changed the code of VMIX.ts to make it work since hollyland connects as a vMix Listener Client (als TallyArbiter does when connecting to vMix) and also requires a proper response when sending "ACTS Overlay1" like "ACTS OK Overlay1 0"
0 ist static, because the tally status is already handled by tallyArbiter so no need to check for overlay status again.

be aware if you´re running vMix and TallyArbiter on the same machine, there will be a conflict where hollyland will connect to, so make sure to run tallyarbiter on a different computer. But since Hollyland directly works with vMix and does this great, if you only use vMix there is no need for tallyArbiter for hollyland tally system.

Since i can not compile the code on my machine (new to this, so many errors....) can please someone do it for the next release? Unfortunately i can not run latest tallyArbiter on Mac Monterey, probably need to update my OS but no time right now....

line 46
private onConnData(socket: net.Socket, d: Buffer) {
//console.log(d);
const parts = d.toString().split(/\r?\n/)
if (parts[0] === 'SUBSCRIBE TALLY') {
this.addVmixListener(socket, this.getHost(socket))
socket.write('SUBSCRIBE OK TALLY\r\n')
} else if (parts[0] === 'UNSUBSCRIBE TALLY') {
socket.write('UNSUBSCRIBE OK TALLY\r\n')
this.removeVmixListener(this.getHost(socket))
} else if (parts[0].startsWith('ACTS')) {
// reacts to ACTS commands, e.g. "ACTS Overlay1" so vMix Listener Devices work correctly (e.g. Hollyland Wireless Tally System)
const commandParts = parts[0].split(' ')
const activator = commandParts.length >= 2 ? commandParts[1] : 'Unknown'
const activator_status = '0'; // static response because tally state is already handled by TALLY OK ##
const acts_response = 'ACTS OK ${activator} ${activator_status}\r\n'
socket.write(acts_response)
} else if (parts[0] === 'QUIT') {
socket.destroy()
}
}

thanks to all of you! let me know if someone can compile a version for me to test it
