A couple of smallish issues with the new direct support for Magewell cards.
1) When selecting a ProCapture Mini HDMI card, the only input option shown is SDI, which results in nothing being captured. Selecting the card in Legacy mode auto-detects the input OK.
2) When you select EmbeddedAllChannels for a Magewell card, but not all channels are present, the existing channels are duplicated on the remaining channels. Eg. if four channels are present, Ch 1,2,3,4 get duplicated onto 5,6,7,8. Not exactly a problem, just an observation.

Data Sheets is a huge addition for me and your implementation has made it super easy to update my Preset to take advantage of them. It will remove a lot of user error opportunities, so thank you very much for the continuing improvement of an already awesome software.

I am testing using Google Sheets since I don't have Office installed on my Notebook (although I will mainly use Excel for my productions). I see in the documentation Excel offers a setting for "Use first row as Column Names", is this a possible feature for Google Sheets in the future?

I have also setup shortcuts for DataSourceNextRow / DataSourcePreviousRow, which are very helpful... Is there an ability to fade from one row of data to the next instead of a sharp "cut" as it is now?

Sorry if these are more of a feature request but it is just 2 quick questions that came to mind as I play around with these new features.

Keep up the great work. You continually make my tasks easier with each update.

ichn1,

We can confirm the NDI app is working on both Android and iOS with vMix 18 (just tested).
Couple of things you can check:

1. Double check wifi is connected and working
2. Make sure any updates in the app store for the app are installed
3. Make sure the record button in the app is red

There have been no changes to Decklink support since 17, so check to make sure the device shows up in Blackmagic Media Express
as the list in vMix will match what is shown there.

Not sure why Facebook gives that error, but it usually means
it was unable to locate the page and post specified in the Facebook settings.

The key thing is that the post needs to be publicly accessible in order for vMix Social to be able to broadcast it.

I used a APC Mini for 3 hours straight this weekend on vMix 18.0.55 without any problems. Perhaps you have a USB port or cable problem. Try replace the cable and give it a try.

Martin, have not had a chance to play with this yet, but I just want to give you a HUGE shoutout THANK YOU for the Data Sheets addition!!!!

after I update to install it now vmix 18.0.0.57 after closing the program so what? What this latest vmix still many bugs? what's the solution?

Did you get an email from Magewell on what the problem might be? (Now added to their Developer Notes)

There's two ways to get the Magewell cards working:

1) Set the rotary ID switches on the Magewell Pro Capture cards so that each has a different ID.

2) When adding the camera input, tick the "Show legacy devices" box and select the lower-down entries for the Magewell cards, in order to use the DirectShow driver. eg "Video (Pro Caapture)"

See attached images for illustrations of both these methods. Note that the cards with different IDs show as 00-x, 01-x 02-x (ID + Channel Number) after the product names.
