Took me a while to find this out, so maybe interesting for others:


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

For example start streaming:

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

Powershell:

(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=StartStreaming")

I've found I can do more with Powershell and well it's on most Vmix systems too :)

BTW: I started doing the odd thing with VBS, but started to find Powershell was better at working with data sources. Of course I'm not a programmer so have not graduated to C# :)
