Hello everyone! I'm currently using vmix for live streaming. Most of the time I show the all-Ukrainian marathon (vlc stream), but at 7:00 PM I turn on my local news and information programs. A "List" is formed for this. Everything would be fine, but when there is an air raid in our region, I turn on a short video "Alert", and after then the broadcast continues in PiP with a frame around it, with information that the air raid is ongoing. Only after the end of the "List", if the alarm has not ended, the list will not switch to the marathon. Therefore, I created a "Countdown.gtzip" in which I enter the time until the end of the list, and it starts automatically when PiP switches to Output. I often do this at night, through anydesk, and it's extremely inconvenient to enter the time. Can anyone help write a script that would read the time until the end of the list and insert it into the countdown?

If the items within the list are locally sourced the process would be to get the duration of each one (reference to these files are within the API XML) and add them together to get the total duration to put into the coundown
