Hi all

First time poster... have installed Vmix in my three client venues for ice hockey streaming around the UK, am now doing my research as to what vMix can really do – the decision to move to vMix was based on a: Mac's decision to become a non-pro user friendly device, and b: vMix's incredible features, community and youtube content.

I'm happy to see the new data sources elements, but there's one key use case that it doesn't cater for. Scenario: start of broadcast, show home and away team rosters. I have my data sets in a fairly un-refined form (i.e. no categorisation between Goal/Defence/Forward) but nonetheless its here: http://api.eliteprospects.com:80/beta/teams/203/playerstats?season=2016-2017&fields=jerseyNumber,player.firstName,player.lastName,country.name,A,G,TP,PIM,PPG,playerPosition&filter=gameType%3DREGULAR_SEASON

In order to make a slide with a roster full of players I would need to create at least 23 copies of the JSON data source per opposition team. 2-3 Goalies, 5-7 defence, 9-10 forwards + maybe 2 coaching staff.

Some user responsibility/manipulation of the layout would be required as you would need to define headers (which could be automatically grouped by the playerPosition field).

Other use cases would be a "Scores around the league" — we have at most 4 others games going on at the same time, so there is a predictability in terms of data quantity but there would need to be some form of repeated data field / table functionality to make it work.

The other option of course is I write a feed reader in HTML and bring that data in as a layer, but it'd be cool to make vMix do the work for me :)

Thanks all, any suggestions or comments?
