Hello,

I am currently trying to write up a script which is trying to check if any inputs in a specific category is currently in preview. I have been having trouble with it and I am starting to wonder if the assigned category of an input actually shows up in the XML? I do not want to have to rename each input with a constant prefix to organize them for scripting purposes and would much rather the ease of being able to assign any input I want to a category and the script working automatically.

Thank you very much.

What exactly are you calling a "Category"?

The "Type" of each input is noted which corresponds to the type of input you select when you add a new input, if that is what you are calling a "category" then what you want to do should be very easy.

Note that there will be an "<active>" and a "<preview>" for the main mix but also an "<active>" and a "<preview>" for each Mix type input if that will be of importance to your script. The contents of the "<active>" or "<preview>" will be the "number" property of the input.

It should be very easy to
