I am wondering if vMix works at its designed on TCP/API

Based on example in documentation this command

sould give the response

Instead of that it gives this

The problem is that if we give a lot of commands we don't know when they executed and if executed normally, because it's imposible to monitor the responses.

For example I send the command

it takes about 1-2sec to executed. If I get only the "OK Completed" response I don't know if the snapshot completed (to proceed to further actions on my code) or if the response was from another function that runs simultaneous.

Is this working as it designed?

By the way, is it possible to make it to return the image as Buffer instead saving the snapshot into a file.

Thank you

Thank's, the response "FUNCTION OK PreviewInput\r\n" as it written on your documentation confused me when I notice that. Acts return preview function in a different format "ACTS OK InputPreview 1 1".

In my code I detect last command (with a queue) to emit an event if a specific function executed and needs further actions. But I thought that a solution like "FUNCTION OK PreviewInput\r\n" etc. will make my code simpler.

Thank you again.

P.S. I know that is difficult, did you think if it’s possible to add a function that return snapshot as image buffer? I use sharp on nodejs to read local file and edit/crop this snapshot, and with this I will avoid the use of tmp file. [please... ;)]
