Hi, this is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find the answer on the forums.


I have several playlists that I would like to create shortcuts to in order to be able to manage from my ipad using the webcontroller. When I try to set up the shortcut, this is what I enter:

Key/Control: A
Function: SelectPlayList
Value: pregame (this is the name of one of my playlists)
Title: play pre
Display: Default

Show in Web Controller: checked off


When I have one playlist playing (say, Sponsors), i want to be able to select this shortcut so that it switches over to my pregame playlist. When I select this shortcut, however, nothing happens and the Sponsors playlist continues to play.

I feel like I am missing something very simple or obvious, but the only thing that the Vmix User guide has under Shortcut Function Reference is:


SelectPlayList:

Open PlayList with Name matching Value


Value = PlayList

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Try with adding the shortcut for first "stopplaylist" the current playlist (can combine it under the same key) followed by a startplaylist after other list is selected

Select playlist

Start playlist
