To be able to build your own multiview easy it would be great to have the ability to add Preview as an input in the same way you can do with Output today.

Sure, but that could also be done in the same way for Output but there a direct input routing of Output is added.
To save encoding/decoding resources and latency i would be great to be able to do the same for Preview

This may help. I wrote this script to emulate preview of Mix 1, including the ability to preview overlays. This way you don't need to burn one of the 4 outputs to look preview back in.

Create a color/transparent input, and name it "Preview" and run this script. It should work.

Quote:
Do While True
Dim doc As New XmlDocument()
doc.LoadXml(API.Xml)
Dim root As XmlNode = doc.DocumentElement

Dim node1 As XmlNode = root.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/preview")
Dim previewNumber As Integer = node1.InnerXml
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "1," & previewNumber)

' Overlay 1
Dim node2 As XmlNode = root.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/overlays/overlay[1]")
If node2 IsNot Nothing And node2.Attributes("preview") IsNot Nothing Then
Dim inputNumber As Integer = node2.InnerXml
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "2," & inputNumber)
Else
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "2,None")
End If

' Overlay 2
Dim node3 As XmlNode = root.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/overlays/overlay[2]")
If node3 IsNot Nothing And node3.Attributes("preview") IsNot Nothing Then
Dim inputNumber As Integer = node3.InnerXml
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "3," & inputNumber)
Else
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "3,None")
End If

' Overlay 3
Dim node4 As XmlNode = root.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/overlays/overlay[3]")
If node4 IsNot Nothing And node4.Attributes("preview") IsNot Nothing Then
Dim inputNumber As Integer = node4.InnerXml
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "4," & inputNumber)
Else
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "4,None")
End If

' Overlay 4
Dim node5 As XmlNode = root.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/overlays/overlay[4]")
If node5 IsNot Nothing And node5.Attributes("preview") IsNot Nothing Then
Dim inputNumber As Integer = node5.InnerXml
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "5," & inputNumber)
Else
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay","Preview", "5,None")
End If

Sleep(66)
Loop
