Is there a way to turn all lights off on a xkeys keyboard? When using activators, I need to add them all in activators to get them to go from red to off after starting vmix.

Set your default configuration by using the X-Keys basic setup tool. Then save that into the hardware. Now you should be able to use vMix to turn the lights on and off.

You can assign a range of buttons as the default by doing the following:

1. Control - click Find to find the first button, then in the second box after Note type in the last button to cover the entire range.
(0 to 127 for the X-Key for example)

2. Event - set this to default

3. Set the Type to off

Data sources seem to work well. How do you loop through eg 5 players in one xaml title.
I used this method for xpath //Start5/Row as example and return correctly 5 rows and 5 columns of the heading TeanName,PlayerName,Position,PlayerImage
But it only repeats the same or row that is selected. I assume its how the xpath is constructed so that it creates one row. But I may have write my XML to suit the
datasource feature eg playname1, playerposition1, playerimage1,playername2 etc in one row.
With UTC I use this xpath //Start5/Row/PlayerName|//Start5/Row/PlayerPosition|//Start5/Row/PlayerProfilePic if that helps?, but only returns text column in DS.


One suggestion would be able to name the Datasource eg HomeStart5, AwayStart5 etc depending on what records you are pulling instead of having 6 or 7 seven datasources all called XML which makes it hard to know which one you are choosing. But great job Martin.

Instant Replay Right Click to Add Clip to Play By ID List

Possible to have a right click on a replay event and the pop up menu has an add to "Replay Stack" to quickly add to the Play By ID list? Also a play stack button or in the pop button.

And Left click drag to move to another event, right click to copy to another event.

I just tried activators with my Behringer BCF2000.

It took me a while to work out that I had to change the button programming in the unit itself from on/off to "Momentary".

(Hold down edit then press the button you wish to edit, then turn rotary control 6 to switch from InC to toff) - If you don't do this the buttons are on/off and only work after 2 presses of the button. The faders worked instantly without re-programming of the unit.

After that, everything works great :) Audio and vision mixing from one panel. I can also control my headphone level from one of the rotary controls!!!! Great!

oh and it works even if vMix is minimised or even if the computer is LOCKED!

Now that activators is out, i'm going to buy a X-Keys rack :)

DataSources // Google Sheets

When using first row as column names, the columns re-arrange in a strange way

EDIT: Also, clear column sorting would have been much appreciated!

DOUBLEEDIT: Button for automaticallly assign all fields to auto from the same datasource!

TRIPLEEDIT: Only Sheet1 works with automatic updates. Sheet2 updates are registered in the hamburger menu and the DataSource selection, but not automatically applied to the title.

Feature request: Title of a data source
I've been trying out data sources, and one thing that I really miss, is the opportunity to give the source a title. Let's say I bring in 2 or more Google Sheets, then they will just appear as "Google Sheets" as a tab in the Data Sources window.

Google Sheets as data source
Sheet name bug(s)
The very first time I tried to bring in a sheet, it gave an error Bad Request (400), and the data didn't show up in the data grid, BUT, the table name (name of the sheet) were present.
The sheet in my document were by default named Ark1 ("ark" is danish for "sheet"), and when I renamed it to "Sheet", it showed up as it should with the data, and no (server 400) errors!
So it seems there's a bug when bringing in the data from the sheets. Also a note, I realized that when a sheet is renamed, it will just add a new item in the table dropdown in vMix, with the new name, and not remove the old one.

Too Many Requests
The default update time is 5000 ms, but I experience a error 429, Too Many Requests given by the server.. I manually doubled it to 10.000 ms, which helped out the problem - no more 429 errors :-)

Character encoding bug
I've tried to use the danish letter æ ø and å, which is not interpreted correctly in vMix.

Same here with the german letters ä / ö / ü / ß - just gives me a ?? instead of the correct letter.

Thanks for the reports so far. Unfortunately we have had to temporarily disable
the Google Sheets support as it is exceeding already what we thought would be very high quotas.

Will post an update when we've worked out a solution.

Is there a limit accessing Google Sheets data? (accessing through an API I guess)
