Hello vMix team.

Tried searching for similar requests and couldn't find any.

I recently had the idea to implement a timer through a title input overlaid in a confidence monitor output that was filled out with a trigger via Companion to show the time remaining on a video playlist but quickly reached a limit since apparently there is only data for the currently selected video in a list.

When I went to research if it could be done by the companion team, I ended up finding people who had similar ideas on GitHub and report it being an issue with the data not existing in the API of vMix.

Picture for reference of which time stat I mean, also used in the GitHub post.


I hope this a relatively easy implementation, as it would be a great and easy way to implement a timer for the confidence monitor so a host or MC can easily see how much time is left on a currently playing video during an event.

Hey Greg, that feature definitely works inside vMix as intended.

What I am looking for is for that information to also exist in the API so I can use it with Companion, as the total duration is not passed on to the following variable that I use $(vMix_Local:input_92b46fa6-d964-4a57-9d30-f149650c2726_remaining_mm.ss.ms), and there is according to one of the developer on GitHub no information on the total length of a playlist in the API.
