I am wondering why there is still no 'start streaming' option in vMix settings.
I assume a lot of people want to start streaming when vMix is started (e.g. for church broadcasts)

Using a shortcut and a script to accomplish this is a little bit devious and does not always work reliable.

When vmix is started is is on top, but it is not always the active window, then the shortcut script doesn't work.

Start http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=StartStreaming from a batchfile does work when vMix is not on top , but always opens the browser.


edit:

This VBS script sends an API command without opening a browser:

Dim o
Set o = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
o.open "GET", "http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=StartStreaming", False
o.send
