I have two VMIX systems - and would like to add some triggers to control a second VMIX system through the API

The reason I would like to do this is because I need to send the same show to different markets, with different opening VT sequences, and title overlays.

I see that I can fire 'scripts' through the VMIX trigger systems.

How would I construct a Script that could do and API call to a second VMIX system.

In other words is there a way I can do a HTTP request from either a web or VB.net script?

Best Regards

Keith

OK got a vb.net script working!

only issue is how do I trigger it, as there is no way to set a value (in this case name of script) against SciptStart to specify which script I want to run in the triggers setup for a particular input.

i.e OnTransitionIn ScriptStart 'name of script'


Code:
Dim webStream As Stream
Dim webResponse = ""
Dim req As HttpWebRequest
Dim res As HttpWebResponse
req = CType(WebRequest.Create("http://10.1.2.56:8088/API/?Function=OverlayInput1In&Input=2"), HttpWebRequest)
res = CType(req.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
webStream = res.GetResponseStream() ' Get Response
Dim webStreamReader As New StreamReader(webStream)
While webStreamReader.Peek >= 0
webResponse = webStreamReader.ReadToEnd()
End While


Script is a little bit longer than it needs to be, but added in some stuff so you can actually read the response and error trap if you want.

Hi,

i use this script to control the PTZ API of my AXIS Camera.
e.g.: http://192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2

But there are some functions, than can only be set with logging in at the Camera.
Just writing http://USER:PASSWORT@192.168.4.111/axis-cgi/com/ptz.cgi?rpan=-2 does not work.

So is there a possibility to send user and password with a HttpWebRequest?

Best, Thomas
