Cannot Find template error on casparcg 2.0.7

[TheErondu]

This exact setup works well on version 1.0.8 but in the latest version (SPX-GC v1.0.14) Caspar CG can't find templates anymore this is the log output from Caspar CG:

[TuomoKu]

Version 1.0.9 changed CasparCG configuration, please see: https://github.com/TuomoKu/SPX-GC#config and section general.templatesource

So you may need to change "templatesource": "spxgc-ip-address" to "templatesource": "casparcg-template-path"

Hope this helps.

Thanks , Changing it to "templatesource": "casparcg-template-path" fixed the not found error but I now have an unexpected identifier error:

How do i fix this?

[TuomoKu]

I'm guessing here, but I can come up with two theories:

1. Old CasparCG version? I recommend checking you are using version 2.3.x LTS
2. File-protocol -issue When using "casparcg-template-path" parameter, it forces the templates to be read over file-protocol and it may cause issues in some more advanced templates, which are getting live-data from SPX server using ajax calls (Axios, Fetch, xhr) which requires a connection via a http -protocol. I can see you are using the Excel-template which is one those more advanced ones.

Does the other templates work?

One more thing: you mention using CasparCG 2.0.7. I would strongly recommend upgrading to 2.3.x LTS, this would fix a lot of issues regarding HTML -templates.
