I've got a data source that sends information via UDP to vMix that identifies caller names from a phone screening system. I have been able to parse it out for the name, location (EG city) and the hybrid that the call is on (1 to 4).
Now, I'm trying to place that name into a title.
I wanted to put this name/location info in the indexed title preset (EG the title editor "list"), 1 to 4, depending upon which hybrid the call is on. This way our producer can quickly select from the presets depending which line goes on-air by right mouse clicking and selecting the appropriately populated line.
So, the problem seem to be in understanding how to get that string variable assigned to a specific index in the title. I haven't been able to successfully get that (always seems to go to the first preset).
I've been searching for samples of code to base my script snippet upon but haven't found anything.
Any example of this would be helpful.
Thank you!

This doesn't work.
Perhaps I need to clarify.
I want to populate the TITLE PRESETS.
Using your exact code it only goes into the live window, not the preset lines.
Perhaps this is a bug?

there is no function to maniplate the preset except for slect next or previous If you realy insist on working with the presets instead of a datasource directly you still need to manipuate the preset source and import it. My advice is to the datasource way as that window can stay open for quick selection

Hi. There also exist API.Function("SelectTitlePreset", Input:="My input", Value:="1") that can go into any title preset for selected input from 0 to n
so a workaround could be first select the 1-4 line preset and then if you need to change the content for it,you use the set text function.
Or datasources is easy option

My advice is to the datasource way as that window can stay open for quick selection Thanks. I was thinking that it was read-only and you've confirmed this. I'd love to use a data source but the information is not flowing into any kind of spreadsheet, it's a live data feed from the call screening system. I can potentially create a matrix of names in memory but the problem is the user interface of selecting the appropriate caller. Thanks for your response. Fritz Golman RadioDNA

doesnt have to be a spreadsheet, can be json, xml even a simple textfile You mention it to be a live data feed so there must be a way to capture it, once you do one can turn it into a datasource

Yes, it's going to be a matter to write out the data stream to a file. Gets more complicated at every turn, unfortunately.
I'm thinking that perhaps I can addresses this a bit easier by merely having four titles of the same design and address the data into the appropriate one depending upon which hybrid/phone line the call is on.
Not as clean as using the title presets but not as complex as creating and managing files.
Thanks again.
