I am developing a panel and I would like to set a vumeter to see the RECORDING level that I see on the mixer
i would like to see the recording timer too that i see on the vMix main view

but i am looking since a couple of hours everywhere but I can't see a way
can someone be so kind to suggest me if there is a way for one or both things? Thank you so very much.

ciao

@ Richard:

I have been playing around with some templates in Panel Builder, and look what I came up with.....using 2 screens, I created Panel builder so that I can have an area to place NDI Studio Monitor and sized it to fit..Complete with Audio Mixer and effects Panel...


What do you think.


SCREEN CAPTURE .jpg (875kb) downloaded 35 time(s).

I made a second template to this, where I placed the NDI Monitor where I have the Audio Mixer, and placed the Audio Mixer to the far right, in that way I have a better visual of my video...

I prefer the NDI Monitor solution, as it will keep you free to do more development of other things as the NDI team keeps updating their apps.........

UPDATE Version 4.0.55

https://cli.re/vMix-Panel-Builder-4.0.55

- fixed lock/unlock buttons not working correctly when deleting objects
- fixed invert tallies no working properly after last update
- added BorderWidth and BorderColor options to objects
- added new TBar look
- fixed a few other bugs

NOTE: Not all updates are available on tablets or iPads yet..

UPDATE
Hi Richard, just found something...The border on " Labels" not working...I usually make labels and set them as transparent, sometimes I use a blank label as a frame for a collection of Icons....not able to do it in .55.....please check...
I also found that the border is working on the Type, and not on the actual label itself as it used to...and now that I am at that, is it possible to give us a choice of rounded or square corners for labels, as sometime rounded corners is not always applicable....

Thanks

Thanks for the report JW.

When Panel Builder triggers the virtual PTZ commands in vMix it uses a "buttonDown" command to trigger the PTZMove and a "buttonUp" command to trigger a PTZMoveStop command. The "buttonUp" PTZStop commands are done automatically in PB when using the vMix PTZ commands within a button. You don't need to program the "buttonUp" command in PB. I'm not sure if the Sony Visca plugin in Bitfocus operates the same way ?? I'll have to look into it.

As far as tallies "Feedback" from Bitfocus goes, it's a matter of whether or not Bitfocus supports it for that particular device. If it is supported then it should reflect the feedback OK in PB.



PB simply sends the "command" to Bitfocus which in turn talks to Streamdeck. There is no "pulse" duration as such. If Bitfocus recognizes the command from PB, which it seems to, then the issue might be between Bitfocus and the device.. Out of curiosity, if you trigger the command from the Bitfocus GUI rather than the streamdeck, does it move the camera ?



Yes, there seems to be an issue using the right-click copy/paste from the menu at the moment. I'll fix that in the next release. You can use the ctl-C and ctl-V to copy/paste from one page to another for now.

Richard, your private message inbox seems to be full.

I am using the standard Companion Sony Visca connection plugin, and it uses press and release actions for the PTZ buttons.
(release is the ptz stop action)
The auto exposure button uses latch and unlatch actions.

I tried the beta.
The down action works, but the up action (-> stop button) doesn't. So it keeps moving.
Clicking on a seperate added stop button in PB stops the movenment.

Also:
When I click the stop button in PB, the yellow press indicator on my Streamdesk stop button stays on after releasing.
When I click the stop button om the Streamdeck the indicator turns off after releasing.
The stop button in Companion has no defined release action.

So, maybe an idea to add an 'during press' option next to DN and UP?

It works OK now in the beta version.

When it didn't work the UP command referred indeed to another button with a stop action.

Now I have set the DN and UP action to the same button (with press and release action) and it works.

Buttons with toggle (latch and unlatch) functionality are also working OK.

Thanks!

I tested V57 and got some issues:

-Copy paste buttons is not working
-No Clone option
-Deleting button is not working

-PB starts up with all gray buttons (even if vMix is connected), after a while most buttons have their color back, but some buttons get their color back only after enter en exit edit mode
-Tally colored buttons acting strange

Hi Richard, I have always run PB on the vMix host machine but I recently installed it on a networked machine.

I'm getting massive lag over the network, anywhere from half a second to 3 or 4 seconds. Sometimes commands queue up, so nothing happens for a few seconds, then all the snarled up commands run at once.

The PB machine is a 4 core, 2.9ghz 11th gen Celeron, it averages 30% cpu running PB and never spikes over 50%.

The network is all 1GB and runs perfectly for other apps and NDI (when PB is running nothing else is).

Any suggestions as to what might be causing this.

As always, I really appreciate your time.
