Just a hint for all those struggling with scripting vMix and want a resource for "borrowing" code snippets: During the last 1.5 years, in the context of our company filmstudio and its live event productions, I've developed multiple production-grade vMix scripts and released them as Open Source Software. Recently, I've further polished and documented all the scripts, added a few new ones and improved some of the existing ones. Check out this freely available vMix Scripts collection now, feel free to reuse some of those scripts in your own productions, and please give back some feedback. I hope this resource is useful for all professional vMix users.

Is it doable in scripting without using MoveInput? I don't want to change the input number. Thanks in advance!
yeah maybe but why mess up (highjack) this post up while you allready have a separate post (also highjacked with different original question) addressing your issue/personal request

I want a Companion (V3) button to light up if any Input has Solo On. Unfortunately there is no info in vMix's API that reflects solo globally. Here is script that will find if any Input has Solo On. To save vMix's Dynamic values for other uses, the script alters the Loop value of the (arbitrary) Input "Black". And it's loop state can easily be used for Feedback, Triggers, etc in Companion. Code:'AnySolo
dim checkStatesIterTime as integer = 200
do while true
Dim x As New XmlDocument()
x.LoadXml(API.XML)
dim soloNode As XmlNode = x.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/inputs/input[@solo='True']")
If soloNode IsNot Nothing Then
API.Function("LoopOn",Input:="Black")
Else
API.Function("LoopOff",Input:="Black")
End If
sleep(checkStatesIterTime)
Loop

and, of course, one might need a button that turns Solo Off for all Inputs :) Code:Dim x As New XmlDocument()
x.LoadXml(API.XML)
dim soloNodesList As XmlNodeList = x.SelectNodes("/vmix/inputs/input[@solo='True']")
for each node as XmlElement In SoloNodesList
API.Function("SoloOff",Input:=node.GetAttribute("key"))
next

Hello there! I have to say thanks for this great thread. As a zero programming skilled person I am gratefull for all posted here. Excuse me for this little following intro; for some time I have been working doing a live tv show where there is a moment where people in the set play a trivia. The regular trivia. Host makes questions, each person has a buzzer and so on. How do i do it? Well, each contestant has its own camera on them. Each camera is a video input on my vmix. What I have done is that each buzzer is connected to vmix. Each one of them works as a keyboard input which i set in vmix as a shortcut. The idea is that when a contestant presses the buzzer it instantely and automatically switchs to his camera and shows him on program output and also some effect overlays, sounds and stuff. So, each buzzer input as a keyboard key. For example for 3 buzzers keys 1 (D1), 2 (D2) and 3 (D3). On the shortcut menu each one of this shortcuts does the exactly same thing; sets dynamic value to 1 and starts a script ("buzzer"). The 3 shortcuts do exactly the same thing and value.  scren.png (10kb) downloaded 0 time(s).And, my super-mega script "buzzer" is just this 2 lines: Function=CutDirect&Input=DynamicInput1
Sleep 20000 Why the sleep? Because as it is a trivia, when the first person buzzes and gets on screen, the other buzzers are disabled. Hence the sleep. So the second and third buzzer are not CutDirect and not switched to the program output and we just stay with the person who buzzed. In the shortcut screenshot you see a D0 shortcut that I use just to stop the script (that is left "sleeping" for no further buzzer activation) so i can re-start the buzzers. I know its very rudimentary. But it works. The only thing is that as as the script is "sleeping" i get the prompt message "Script Buzzer is already running" so i have to keep pressing "Close" every time/answer. But, it still gets the job done. If anybody has a proper way to do this, would be glad to see. Cheers!

But, it still gets the job done. If anybody has a proper way to do this, would be glad to see. Cheers! I would add a single if statement to the script. That if statement would check to see if the DynamicInput1 is set to one of the player cameras already, if not already set to one of the players do your Function=CutDirect&Input=DynamicInput1. Now create a copy of the script for each player and set up the trigger for each player to start their copy of the script instead of all players starting one script. With each player having their own copy of the script, you don't get the "script is already running" prompts but since the first to press gets the input set to their camera none of the others can take it, no wait 20000 needed.

First off all, i am sorry about my English (i'm using Google translate)
How to call input by short name by script
Example
i have a inputname "ABCD#1234" (ABCE is shortname, and 1234 is note infomation)
how to
API.Function("Cut",Input:="ABCD")
same
API.Function("Cut",Input:="ABCD#1234")
Tks for support.

Tks for support. There is no "Cut" function, only "CutDirect" which is probably why the things you've been trying didn't work. Best practice it to use the KEY value for the input instead of it's number or it's name. The number and the name can be changed but unless the input is deleted and added back again the KEY value for that input will never change. And yeah, it's a hideous thing to type but that's what cut and paste are for. Code:
For example this is the http://localhost:8088/api response from vMIX (copy I'm running)
...
<input key="fda8cd85-095d-4c40-98ba-b98800c02eaa" number="1" type="Stream" title="Center Camera" shortTitle="Center Camera" state="Running" position="0" duration="0" loop="False" muted="True" volume="100" balance="0" solo="False" audiobusses="" meterF1="0" meterF2="0" gainDb="0">Center Camera</input>
...
So my call to switch to the "Center Camera" (using the format you used) would be: API.Function("CutDirect",Input:="fda8cd85-095d-4c40-98ba-b98800c02eaa")
