I'd like to use the datasource routine in vMix for importing data to use for other actions, for instance to use it to set a PreviewInput.

So i made a title called RUNDOWNPANEL with to items: PVW_ITEM_NR and PVW_CONTENT_TEXT

Then i made this:
dim PVW_ITEM as String = Input.Find("RUNDOWNPANEL").Text("PVW_ITEM_NR.Text")
dim PVW_CONTENT as String = Input.Find("RUNDOWNPANEL").Text("PVW_CONTENT_TEXT.Text")

API.Function("PreviewInput", Input:=PVW_ITEM)
This works fine, when the string of PVW_ITEM_NR = "1", the first input will be set in Preview

But when I try
API.Function("PreviewInput", Input:=PVW_CONTENT)
It does not work though the string of PVW_CONTENT_TEXT = "CAM 1"

Hope to get some advice here.

Thx in advance.

Should work , check for correct name of the wanted input!
in your script might help to check using
console.writeline(PVW_CONTENT_TEXT )
to verify the data retrieved from the title is also correct

Tip: avoid spaces !

I removed the spaces, so no "Cam 1" but Cam_1" but still not working.
When using PVW_ITEM the console turns the right number but this is the return from the console with (PVW_CONTENT_TEXT):
Starting Script "GS_PREV"

Stopping Script "GS_PREV"
So just a blank line.

Any suggestions?

Looks like your data is not going into the textblock of the title or the reference to reading it from the tilte is wrong somehow .
I did test with putting a text in a title ( diff reference to the textblock name) be it manual or with datasourceand reading it according to your "code" and it worked
Check the naming of the title textblocks

Code:
dim PVW_CONTENT as String = Input.Find("Title 0- The Classic Blue.gtzip").Text("Headline.Text")
console.writeline(PVW_CONTENT )  'input named "demo" ; title & data source content "demo"
API.Function("PreviewInput", Input:=PVW_CONTENT)



BTW one can display code much easier to read in post using choose language for syntac highlighting
Code:
Starting Script "GS_PREV"

Stopping Script "GS_PREV"

So far so good with commandline prompt.
But no change in Preview.
Tomorrow I will create a new blank input and name it “demo”. See what happens then.
I will let you know
