Hello Martin,

Could you add the following to be turned on via the VMix settings so the VMix Web Server API adds this header to it's HTTP responses?

Add to response header rule - 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'

I've done some work with some JQuery and Ajax controlling Vmix, but the without this security tag, browsers keep flagging them as a problem and sometimes blocking the request.

After some research and testing with an IIS server it's as simple as adding this header into the web server's config. However as far as I'm aware there is currently NO WAY to modify the inbuilt web server that VMix uses for it's API/Web Control.

Thanks, if anyone has a better way eg: a hack the Vmix web server I'm all ears :)

It is actually really cool you can design your own home brew web controller to do uncommon things. Like allow a person to be in an iPad turning on/off a single Vmix title without access to anything else :) Your imagination and the commands in the API are the limit.

Thanks that will be very handy for me and possibly anyone else using Ajax xml functions with the api.

Here is some code I can share.

You can host it on any web server (or on a local drive with some modifications for JQuery) and it will allow you to setup some overlay controls. The big buttons now get a white border once it's confirmed Vmix received the command and applied the overlay.

Two files and .html and a .js file are required. Enjoy, it was based on some code I was directed to on the forum and modified towards my own purposes. I hope it helps someone else who want to either use it as is and/or as a basis to build their own web control to do something else. Not that there is anything wrong with the web controller in Vmix. There are just times when you want to create a REALLY simple restricted controller to do essentially a couple of specific things.

FYI.. The current code needs to live on a web server, because it uses cookies to store it's settings.

May not work well with Firefox, try your luck on that.

Hi Speegs

For local needs (or if one doen't have server) I placed it in local USBwebserver together with the appropriate jquery file.(adjusted the html reference to <script src="jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>)

Sweet :-)

Using Javascript HTML5 localStorage (I'm new to this, but apparently might be better as not using cookies). Included JQuery as well so seems good to go for running from disk with no server. Be sure to provide feedback. Requires latest Vmix to work best.
