Hello Everyone

How can I automate switching between two or more playlists based upon time?

For instance:

Playlist morning: switch to and play this list at 8am

Playlist evening: switch to and play this list at 8pm

Thank you for your consideration and suggestions.

Hugh

I'm new to both Windows and VMix, but there's a windows command called "at" that is used to schedule commands to run at a particular time/day. Armed with that information you should be able to run a curl command to trigger a playlist by sending Function=SelectPlayList&Value=<playlistname> over http. IDK if there's an easier way, or if there are windows scheduling applications that would take the place of the "at" command and make that a little more accessible? But that would be my first try.

Hello vmix needs somehow to know what time it is to play auto but it cant do it itself. There are some programms that can do it in a very good way
https://forums.vmix.com/...ler---vMixScheduler-Fork
and Vtask https://forums.vmix.com/...cheduling-and-Automation
Vtask for me is too complicated but more "professional"
VmixScheduler it does everything i need. It can create itself playlist or you can play inputs you have in vmix allready at the time you want.
Both of the them use vmix api
