Hi,
I would REALLY appreciate if it was possible to access event texts via API which is not possible to my knowledge.

Thanks

@doggy
What @gre2gor says basically:
Access single replay events and extract its attributes (the text added to a camera angle in my case)

As gre2gor mentioned the info is available in the replay2.xml file so one can retrieve it from there but takes some xml knowledge to do so using a script as one has to take into account for which camera , if its angle actually set to true , has to match the event number etc


one could export the even and retrieve the text from the saved file name again taking into account if selected angle is set etc ;-)

Technically possible but not so practical (even to create an API call)


Also mind you that this xml file does not get updated regarding these texts unless one stops/start the IR recording!

strait retrieval , manual set event and camera

Code:


'Load the XML file in XmlDocument.
Dim doc As New XmlDocument()
doc.Load("E:\New folder\replay2.xml")

Console.WriteLine("" )

'retrieve tag for single event of single camera
dim evnt as integer = 0
dim cam as  integer = 1
Console.WriteLine("Tag: " & doc.SelectSingleNode("//event[id='" & evnt &  "']/description[" & cam  &"]").InnerText)

Console.WriteLine("" )


'retrieve text of all cameras for one event
for cam  = 1 to 8
     Console.WriteLine("Tag Cam " & cam & ": " & doc.SelectSingleNode("//event[id='0']/description[" & cam  &"]").InnerText)
next
