I found a scaling bug that occured when trying to add a desktop capture/NDI input. The application looks normal until I try and add the input and then the whole program jumps to take 1/5 of the screen in the upper left and is tiny. I have to close/reopen the application again, but when I do the input picker area, as well as the audio mixer are TINY! They are so small it is unusable. I have re-installed the application and still get the scaling issues. This is on two different Surface Pro 4's one a few months old - the other is less than 24 hours old, and has nothing installed but vMix.

I have not been able to duplicate the program taking such a tiny portion of the screen, but the tiny input and audio issue remains.

My thought here is that is that since the Surface has such a high resolution and the default scaling is 200% some elements of the application (including desktop capture application) do not use that scaling properly, and instead use 0% scaling - which makes everything TINY.

The workaround is to modify the scaling to 100-150%, but that messes with other things and is a pain to do everytime I have to run vMix to change the scaling. However, when the scaling is smaller, it is more difficult to use some other things on the screen since that makes everything so much smaller.

Another workaround I have used, but can't every time, is to hook up an external monitor (1080) and run vMix from that display vs my Surface display.

Hi Martin

I'm getting this error now with latest update with streaming.

*Note: I removed the email address account for the stream and replaced with xxxx@xxxx.com

Updated: This was when using custom RTMP but if I use the YOuTube Live and streamkey it connects
by the way the sign up link for youtube is broken and goes to http://www.vmix.com/youtube which does not exist
Tried with Vmix16 working ok. Retried with 17.0.0.67 same bug, I may not have tested the stream this week while playing with new features ;)
But thought I did. Laptop same error when try streaming.

YouTube streaming does not use usernames and passwords so click Advanced in the streaming settings window and remove these.
Perhaps they were entered when using a different streaming provider in the past.

As for the web site URL, as this is a beta, vMix 17 pages on the web site are not going to be ready yet.

All good Martin. Thanks. Yeah user name was there from Vmix16 setup. Working after removing it.
No worries about the webpages, just in case you missed it.

Also, running vMix 32 bit (have to for the hdmi capture box). When I go to Local Desktop Capture, I get this error:
Unable to find an entry point named 'GetClassLongPtr' in DLL 'user32.dll'
If it is a limitation of the 32 bit version that is fine, but just wanted to make you aware.

Edit: I did send the error report when it prompted on the error.

Yeah, I was looking into that, but can't justify that kind of money. I can use it as I am with desktop capture just fine. May want to see if I can manipulate it with my midi controller though to advance titles.

From what I see, the Titler pro Advanced @ $499 does not have NDI capabilities. It is the yet unreleased Ultimate package that is to have the NDI support. It is unknown what the price of that ultimate package will be.

Greetings All,
Short update on vMix17 BETA with NDI from Indiana.
I've been using vMix17 BETA with NDI here for several days now. I've done recordings, life streaming to YouTube, and used vMix Desktop Capture.
I've imported from a second computer; cameras, webpages, imported Skype (same computer), photos, videos and titles and more.
So far, everything I've tried has been smooth as milk. Well except for one glitch caused directly by yours truley.
Happy vMixing To All,
~George

Just a reminder about this issue. The Signup link in the streamer module takes you to http://www.vmix.com/youtube which doesn't exist.

Hi Martin

Not sure if asked before, is it possible to have Alpha channel from External2 output via NDI using Vmix?
I tested last night with scoreboard titles etc on the laptop and use them as a overlay on the main computer
but get a black background. Which I understand but not sure if can be done.

Regards

James
