I'm unsure as to how I would get the name of the active item in a list.
Eg if I have 5 songs in a playlist, I want to read the name of the active song and output that to a title.
I think I can do the title part as it would just be
Dim i = Input.Find("SongName")
i.Text("MusicName") = musicTitle
But I have no idea how to get musicTitle and I can't see all of the attributes on the object.
I'd guessed it would be something like Input.Find("Break").Title or .ActiveItem or something but no idea and I can't find any documentation with all of the attributes
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the help Just to be sure, You are talking about a playlist, not a list, which is made up of a list of inputs available in your setup A playlist plays directly to the output. One can retrieve the title of the current input being played by retrieving the number of current active input and based on that retrieve the title of that input. This done by reading the API XML with a script . Plenty of examples on how to do that in the "scripting for dummies" post or do a forum search on your specific need Your thinking ( assumption) is wrong. The input.find() is specific to retrieving or replacing a textblock's content BTW https://forums.vmix.com/...another-input#post102595
