That's why I asked You mean to change the Countdown selected by Name the API.Function is „SetText… and Not ChangeCountdown"… I give it a try

The issue is that i cant understand the message error it gives to me. it says operator "is not defined for types 'string' and 'system.xml.xmlDocument'. Chatgpt give some answers that in theory may work but unfortunatelly doesnt know the limitations that vmix script vb.net console have that not recognise correct that functions that exist in vb.net like end sub and etc.. So i hope that vmix in version 28+ will include and support 100% full vb.net support so people that are really dummies like me,will do the job via the new technology if they try

showing the code might help us figure it out keep in mind that when trying to read the API XML and the data searching for is empty a script will throw an error. One should take that in account within a script to catch this to avoid the script crashing. If one wants to take full advantage of vb.net better create scripts outside of vMix (using visual studio) .This will allow you to create functions and subs. Vmix dosnt allow subs etc , see helpfiles Doubt highly vMix will ever make a visual studio substitude

i know that i must somehow assign the X to take dynamically the name of the input but dont understand how to do this A good idea is to learn some basics about vb.net (or any language) and the use of variables instead of relying on chatgpt or willy nilly throwing something into existing copied code line 1 and 2 above do exactly the same thing : putting the inputnumber used as overlay in a (different) variable As mentioned before "' X is the variable holding the input number" and you are using a different variable (ovl1input and dateiname , but have not define X) So need to replace the variable reference (X) to yours in the example code Code:ovl1input = (x.SelectSingleNode("//overlays//overlay[1]").InnerText)
Dim name as string = x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number=" & ovl1input & "]/@title").InnerText
console.writeline(name )
Mind the little addition/correction by the added /@title Also there is no error trapping (Try..Catch) included hence when calling this and there is no overlay active you will get an error/script crash Also a good idea to check returns is to display the results in the console for instant debugging

It work perfect. Yes it crash when there is no overlay but i can very easy workaround over it. Yes you`re right about learning the basics of a language but this seems to me, like a mountain even higher from everest! Google of course has all the needed info but someone needs years to read all that info. AI is not the solution for everything and if you see my posts here in forum. i never throw an AI answer without a bit of explain or without having it try first myself. Anyway thank you again, you saved me another one time!

Sorry if my english not good Hello. Vmix cannot change "on the fly" a input. Yes there is in the input settings in the up right corner the button "change" but this work only manual way. Something in an auto way that vmix api commands support is add a video input or remove an existing video input. With this in mind yes it is possible to do what you need if you know how to do it. Some steps you may possible have to follow 1. Make a new title as vmix input and link to it the datasource that will have the path of the videos or any other info that needs 2.Make a script that will read the info from the title and when the text changes (according to what you select in datasource manager) will do a search in the c:\videos folder and it will send the command to add the new name video input and remove if need the old one In this thread you will find some other examples to start. In theory is something like this. In practice if you never make script again and you need it quickly, you need to study a lot or pray a guru-expert guy of this thread will give you the whole solution Or the most simple way make a list input,put there all your videos,disable the auto-next if not need and do from there the whole play-pause

Countdown to date and time with auto reset/advance Countdown to date and time with optional function(s) trigger resetting it to next date/time interval . example: every seven days at same time Code:Dim enddate As DateTime = DateTime.Parse("2024-1-21 10:30:00")
Dim startdate As DateTime
Dim ts As TimeSpan
Dim count as string
Do while true
startdate = DateTime.Parse(Date.Now)
ts = enddate.Subtract(startdate)
if enddate >= startdate
count=CStr((ts.Days) & " days " & CStr(ts.Hours)) & " Hrs, " & CStr(ts.Minutes) & " mins, " & CStr(ts.Seconds) & " secs"
API.Function("SetText",Input:="9",SelectedName:="Headline.Text",Value:=count)
'console.writeline(count)
sleep(1000)
else
' any function acting as trigger when countdown is finished
' and resetting countdown
enddate=enddate.AddDays(7)
end if
Loop

well this works for shutting down (change value of 00 for time delay) . it calls shutdown.exe Code:Process.Start("shutdown", "-s -f -t 00")
