@ kenarole

Can you elaborate on what you would like to "Automate"?
Because, YES, there is a certain amount of automation that can be accomplished with features like the "Playlist" or third party programs like the one discussed in this thread:

Or even the vMixScheduler which although an unfinished beta, works quite well for simple playout abilities.

You'd want to look into vb scripting.

Before that you'd want to put your shortcut to your vMix preset in the Startup folder. That way you know vMix will launch on startup.

Then you could put a .vbs file in the startup as well.

Code:
Call StartStreams("SheetB")

Function StartStreams(inSheet)

	'Force the script to finish on an error.
	On Error Resume Next

	'Declare variables
	Dim objRequest
	Dim URL

	'Create the url . . . your url may vary
	
	URL = "http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=StartStreaming&Input=Preview"
			
	Set objRequest = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

	'Open the HTTP request and pass the URL to the objRequest object
	objRequest.open "GET", URL , false

	'Send the HTML Request
	objRequest.Send

	If objRequest.Status = "500" Then
		'vMix isn't open
		'Do something here . . . send an email, create an alert etc.  
			
	End If
		
End Function


You may need to play around with adding delays to make sure vMix has opened before this script runs. Actually, you could probably put the opening vMix preset in a vbs file . . . that way you would know that it's opened.

Anyway, look into that . . .

You can also make a 'startstreaming' shortcut and autopress the shortcut key with a script.
(see this topic)
But sometimes it just won't work, even with a big delay.

A 'start streaming' option in Settings/options would be very nice.

I was talking about a standalone vbscript file:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBScript

Not from within vMix. I'm actually not familiar with the vMix scripting.
