Higher refresh rate for text file source

[dstj]

Hi,

I'd like to control the refresh rate of a text file source that displays a clock. I'd like to display the tenth of seconds when the clock is under 10s, but based on my tests, the refresh rate of the file source is about only once per second so the clock lags behind and seems clunky...

My idea is possibly to have an option to flag the source as a High Speed Refresh text file source and that would increase the polling for changes to that file.

It's a bit similar this post, but for text, not images.

Thanks.

Why don't you use the browser source to display a clock?

You're saying a clock rendered in Javascript basically?

It's for a scoreboard. I need to start/stop the clock, increase score, quarter, etc. I guess I could do that all in Javascript from a webpage, but my code is all done for text file source...
