We are trying to develop a script that will add movie files from a watch folder to VMIX specific inputs (3 inputs). We are having issue where when we remove a input and the following input takes it number ( toggles down).
For example: If we have input 1, 2, 3, 4 and we remove input 3 than input 4 becomes 3.

Input 1, 2, 3, 4

Problem:
- 1st cmd to remove Input 3 than input 4 take a place of 3
- 2nd cmd to add input 3 than you get "Error Message: Input Key is already in use."

A replace or change input cmd will resolve the above issue.


Thanks,

May I please best way to write this than? The moveInput cmd will not work unless all inputs are known. If input replaced is the in middle of range than all of the rest have to be moved. This requires a call back function to know exist inputs.

The Feature request is simply for Input Replacement cmd. Which does not exist now.

As an HD Basic User Change Input would be a great API New Function feature. It would allow you to hit a "Fancy Button" and up pops Input 2 or 4 or 1 or 3 to be "changed" to something else

The Normal HD Basic Method if you don't use the "Change" button is Close Input 1,2,3 or 4. Then go to Add Input and then the issue is FIFO.

The last input added comes at the end

So If you want Images on Input 2 and you could change the Photos or Single Image on Input 2 then all your other stuff remains the same

If you follow the Close/Add Method you then need to move Input. So 3 different Instructions instead of 1. Not to mention it is much more complicated and confusing
