I would like to launch a vmix preset from a powershell command.

I cant make it working. I've tried to play with the API and the localhost:8088/api/?Function=OpenPreset&Value=preset.vmix route, but it only open a windows file selector. I've tried to launch it just by putting the path of the preset.vmix into th powershell command line. It works if you have the powershell open on the instance, but when doing it remotely (through AWS SSM execute command), it does nothing.

I am running out of idea. If anyone have an idea on how to do this, i would really appreciate.

a API call will only work if vMix is allready running afaik!

Will need to do a Start-Process of the preset file

Yes, if I put the path (the one that I put in the Value part of the API call) in the powershell command line, it open vmix actually.

The Start-Process won't work since it runs vmix in the background, you wont be able to have the GUI :(

So i will need to make the API works I think
