We would like vMix to add a feature to query the HTTP Web API and receive the current elapsed time of a recording.

Our Use Case
We manage a variety of productions every day and maintain a log of key moments for archival purposes.

Right now, we have someone who sits close enough to the TD to see the vMix interface. When something noteworthy happens in the production, they log the elapsed record time in an Excel spreadsheet along with a description.

I looked over the Shortcut Function Reference and did not find an endpoint that returns the elapsed record time. I emailed vMix support, which confirmed this endpoint did not exist.

It was suggested to use the Instant Replay functionality. However, we do not need a series of clips; we need a series of timecodes alongside notes and other metadata for our archive.

I know there are a million-and-one requests in this forum for features. Given vMix has built nearly a thousand API endpoints, I would like to see them add one that returns a short text string for one of the core features of the program: recording.

While recording the XML API gives a retrivable duration (seconds) of the recording
With a shortcut (WriteDurationToRecordingLog) one can set duration timestamps to the recording log
One could also retrieve the start recording time from the log file and subtract that from the current date/time with a script for duration
