Hi, I would like to have a script read some custom settings stored in a .txt file stored in the same folder as the .vmix and .config files (that contains the script). Whereas when Presets are opened vMix defaults to search for unfound files used for Inputs in that folder, I guess that there is no way to get the filePath to it in a vMix script? Please tell me that I am wrong... Side note, here is what ChatGPT offered me as the solution for parsing the content of the .txt file. Just had to remove the the Imports, Module, and Sub stuff and the script worked. Quote:Imports System.IO
Module Module1 Sub Main() ' Define your variables Dim varA As String Dim varB As String Dim varC As String
' Specify the path to your .txt file Dim filePath As String = "path\to\your\file.txt"
' Read all lines from the file Dim lines() As String = File.ReadAllLines(filePath)
' Process each line For Each line As String In lines ' Split the line into variable name and value Dim parts() As String = line.Split("="c)
' Check if the line is formatted correctly If parts.Length = 2 Then Dim variableName As String = parts(0).Trim() Dim variableValue As String = parts(1).Trim()
' Assign the value to the corresponding variable Select Case variableName Case "varA" varA = variableValue Case "varB" varB = variableValue Case "varC" varC = variableValue ' Add more cases for other variables if needed End Select Else ' Handle lines with incorrect format Console.WriteLine("Error: Line has incorrect format - " & line) End If Next
' Now, your variables varA, varB, and varC should have the values from the file Console.WriteLine("varA: " & varA) Console.WriteLine("varB: " & varB) Console.WriteLine("varC: " & varC)
' Optionally, you can do further processing or display the values as needed
Console.ReadLine() ' Keep console window open (press Enter to close) End Sub End Module

? for the location of where they are supposed to be (yes they are in the presetfile) Code:Dim FileReader As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim InputLine As String
FileReader = System.IO.File.OpenText("d:/realine.txt")
InputLine = FileReader.ReadLine()
Do Until InputLine is Nothing
Console.WriteLine(InputLine)
'can do content of line manipulation here
InputLine = FileReader.ReadLine()
Loop

Looking for some help with this script. I am using it to control the audio in Mix2 for when I am doing some PiP stuff. The script itself works great but my only issue is that the audio of the active input gets turned off when I transistion in my PiP input. I know that's because the input itself is transitioning out. As I switch through different inputs, the audio of the selected input it turned on, it's really that initial transition to Mix2 that is my issue. Is there something I am missing or is there another shortcut that I need to create in order to keep the audio on? For example... Camera 1 is the active input, audio is ON, and I want to transition to my PiP with camera 1. I transition in PiP input with camera 1 in mix2, audio on camera 1 turns OFF. When I transition to camera 2 in mix2, camera 2 audio turns ON. As I continue to switch through inputs the audio of the active input turns ON, as the script tells it to do. I just need that initial transition to keep the audio ON. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, after studying this thread for hours and writing a few scripts by my own I came to the point where I can't find a solution for my problem. I want to know, which page of a title-input is active. I already figured out how to open a page Code:API.Function("TitleBeginAnimation", Input:= "Scoreboard", Value := "Page2")
or alternatively: Code:API.Function("SelectIndex", Input:= "Scoreboard", Value := "2")
but I am wondering how to find the active page. I need this to call a specific page under specific circumstances. In my case (it's for a tennis preset): while the first set show page 1, while the second set show page 2 and so on. Since I won't use it by myself but give the preset to external users, it has to be easy to handle and nearly unbreakable. That's why I don't want to use an additional Text as a counter, which I could call in the method. Any answers would be greatly appreciated!

Any answers would be greatly appreciated! There is no reference (API XML) that lets you know which page is currently active. You will have to create your own reference system . could use setting a dynamic value based on the page you called for and do a test (vb.net) on it Quote:Since I won't use it by myself but give the preset to external users, it has to be easy to handle and nearly unbreakable. That's why I don't want to use an additional Text as a counter, which I could call in the method.
vMix scripts are always accesible so unbreakable is not an option (unless one creates an external app ) How breakable a script is during use depends on how well a script is designed/written including failsafe tests, error catching etc and catering for any possible misuse (ie testing for any possible scenario)

what are your automatic audio settings of your active input ?

Trigger an action when a (long) transition has finished with approx remain time of transition discussion https://forums.vmix.com/postmessage?m=112773Its based on the transition settings on the vMix GUI, transition is called from within this script Mind you response time in the script editor console is slower than actual say display info in the title Code:' One of Transitions (1-4) set in the vMix GUI
dim vTransition as string = "Merge"
dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
'Get the duration of the transition
Dim vDuration as string = x.SelectSingleNode("//transition[@effect='" & Vtransition & "']/@duration").Value
'Input that is currently active
Dim vActive as string = x.SelectSingleNode("//active").InnerText
Dim vElapsed As TimeSpan
Dim watch As Stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew()
'Execute the transition
API.Function(vTransition,duration:=vDuration )
Do While true
xml= API.XML()
x.loadxml(xml)
If x.SelectSingleNode("//preview").InnerText = vActive
' if preview becomes what was active the transition is done
console.writeline("Done")
API.Function("SetText",Input:=1,SelectedName:="Headline.Text" ,Value:="DONE")
Exit do
else
' a bit of countdon based on the transition duration (formula can be improved)

Hi everyone,
I would like to write the status of Overlay2 to variable.
Example: Status of Overlay2 = ON or OFF
Can I read the status? It is possible with VB.NET scripting?
Thank you.

Hello colleagues, I hope you are well... I have the following question...
It would be possible to make a script, I don't know if it already exists, can someone advise me since I'm new to scripts...
Does it allow me to place titles every time a data source is updated by XML? If I can explain myself correctly...
That every time the XML data source is updated, the title overlay is activated.
I hope you can help me... thank you very much

I hope you can help me... thank you very much Read content of title by reading the API XML or using the Input.Find() option Compare to a previously saved content , if different perform action , save new content for next comparison. Rinse and repeat PLS go through the multiple examples in this thread on how to read info from the api xml go through the multiple online tutorials on programming in vb.net
