sorry for my english


You can not because there is none (https://forums.vmix.com/posts/t5032-Is-there-anyway-to--Change--an-input-in-the-API)

Can however if it is in a title (hint, latest v25)
Or choose a photo input

This code from the original post in this thread shows how to query the state of vMix and select specific items from the XML that vMix returns.

Code:

'Is a input Running or on Pause retrieved from the API xml
dim xml = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
dim StateOf = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@type='Replay']/@state").Value)
'or
dim StateOf = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='10']/@state").Value)
Console.WriteLine(StateOf)


As long as vMix includes which audio busses any specific input has active then what you ask should be possible. I cannot say what is provided as I don't have an example of a vMix status handy but examining one is where I would start. Check any information that is returned about a speficic input AND check for any other XML referring to Audio busses, what you are looking for could be in either, both or none. If none then it's not going to be possible without a feature request to include more information in the state XML.

Cheers Wayne,
just did a little testing, here´s is what I got:

Code:
Dim TbxContent As String
Dim Tbx As String
Dim Img As String
Do
For i As Integer = 1 To 4
Tbx = ("txt" & i & ".Text")
Img = ("Img" & i & ".Source")
TbxContent = Input.Find("Test").Text(Tbx)
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(TbxContent) Then
api.function("SetImageVisibleOff", input:="Test", SelectedName:=Img)
Else
api.function("SetImageVisibleOn", input:="Test", SelectedName:=Img)
End If
Next
Loop


Note:
Tbx in the above script represents the textfield name in my test title
Img the image name
Test is the name of my title input

In my test title both correspond to each other, means:
tbx1.Text is placed on img1.Source (these are the original names in my title)

Code:
<text index="0" name="txt4.Text">s</text>
<text index="1" name="txt3.Text">aa</text>
<text index="2" name="txt2.Text">aa</text>
<text index="3" name="txt1.Text">ss</text>
<image index="0" name="Img4.Source">45ac9978-9d83-4fa1-a514-086055a3618d\Bild1.png</image>
<image index="1" name="Img3.Source">45ac9978-9d83-4fa1-a514-086055a3618d\Bild1.png</image>
<image index="2" name="Img2.Source">45ac9978-9d83-4fa1-a514-086055a3618d\Bild1.png</image>
<image index="3" name="Img1.Source">45ac9978-9d83-4fa1-a514-086055a3618d\Bild1.png</image>


I have no idea how to access the image related to the textfield if naming in your .gtzip isn´t
built like that!

´nother note you can only set images on/off if you used "Rectangles" I have no idea how to
change their properties via script...

and... my for loop only counts to 4 I had it loop for testing purpose counting to 100 all good, vMix doesn´t seem to care if gets delivered empty strings... :-)

the script of course has to run in a loop during your show, but that should´t much of an issue...

for testing purpose I removed the text in the title editor (manually) the corresponding image went on and off

have fun

If you have further issues down there, let me know I know how to get on a plane :-) :-)

In case you are searching for real-life and working examples of more elaborate and clean vMix VB.Net scripts, check out https://github.com/rse/vmix-scripts/. Here you can find many reusable code snippets you can borrow.

Hello 🙂
Maybe anyone can help with scripting? Never done this but i need something very simple.

if home-powerplay.gtzip input pp.Text is more then 0:01, then function MultiViewOverlayOn to scoreboard input Value 1.
If home-powerplay.gtzip input pp.Text is empty, then function MultiViewOverlayOff to scoreboard input Value 1.

To put it simply, in ice hockey I need scoreboard input layer 1 to turn on when the penalty minutes start ticking, and when the pp.Text field is empty, scoreboard input layer 1 turns off.

Thanks!

There are quit a bit of examples in this post on how to read values from a title text field .
All you need is to compare those values with your criteria in a script (if-then-else in vb.net speak) and activate the functions accordingly your matching criteria

If...Then...Else Statement

maybe something worked out

do while True
if Input.Find("home-powerplay.gtzip").Text("pp.Text") >= "0:01" then
API.Function("MultiViewOverlayOn", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="1")
else
API.Function("MultiViewOverlayoff", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="1")
end if

take note theat the new name for the "MultiViewOverlay" is now simply "Layer"

keep in mind that a script and the functions do need more than 0.01 secs to process .
your sleep is half a second !

Hi
I am a newbie to scripting but not to VMix.
Is there a way to select a Camera in a Virtual Studio Input ?
As part of a script I need to be able to make the input choose a specific camera position.
Does anyone know if there is a function which enables this please ?
Many thanks

isnt a virtual studio from a camera position on its own so select another VS (input) ?

Good morning Doggy

First of all thank you for responding so quickly 🙂

A VMix-supplied virtual studio set appears as a single Input, and then there are (on the one I am using at least) 4 camera positions provided. They are, in effect, pre-set Zoom Levels. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to access these via a function command.

Oh talking about various zoom positions in your VS

Google could have told you ;-)

if a shortcut exists a function for scripting does too ;-)

Now I'm thinking how to upgrade this code and also add them to change position.

If input1 is more than 0:01, enable it. If at that time input2 is more than 0:01, turn it on as well.

If input1 becomes empty, and input2 is still timed out, switch input1 off, move input2 to input1 position. At the end of the time, return to the previous position. If neither input gets time, both layers are disabled.

Just translate your thought/logic into code (language), you know: if then else/elseif's and's and or's etc
or are you trying to trick someone into doing that for you ;-)

I tried to create that, but for me is too much "if" and "or", but you remember me that is "elseif". Just cant find function to move X layer position :?

Can always use the setzoom, setpanx, setpanY to the input used in the layers instead

Thanks, but elseif not work for me :|

Code:

   API.Function("MultiViewOverlayOn", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="5")

   API.Function("MultiViewOverlayOn", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="5")

   API.Function("MultiViewOverlayOff", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="1")
   API.Function("MultiViewOverlayOn", Input:="scoreboard.gtzip", Value:="5") and something with setpanX
