Hi

Although I haven't tried vTask yet but only watched the tutorial videos and followed first users experiments reporting on facebook, I would like to suggest one thing that is very important to my eyes.

So far, vTask doesn't seem to support network operation, that is to say being able to run on a remote computer using media files located anywhere on the network.

- There is a setting parameter for vMix host IP address, but users report it is complaining of losing connection unless it runs on the same PC as vMix.
- The media files show a local path on the host vTask is used. This path is not correct as of vMix host.
- I suggested a user to create shared folders that would be the same on both PCs, but it doesn't seem to work anyway.
- It doesn't seem to support UNC paths at all which vMix does

I believe such a playout solution should be able to run with a multitier (or at least a 3 tier) architecture.
For example:
- vMix is PC1
- vTask is PC2
- Media files are stored on a server or a NAS or a SAN or even multiple ones.

This would make vTask a professional solution for playout.

Best regards
Guillaume

Hello, congratulate you for this great work, vTask is a great tool for vMix.
What I am exposing below are some errors that came up when testing vTask, and that you take them into account in future updates.
Do not be discouraged friend, your app is excellent, very important and very good, you are on the right path friend, I know that you will achieve in the end a very solid application.
I'm sorry, I speak Spanish, I'm from Ecuador.

Error

- At times, vTask does not respond to programming and quits unexpectedly.
- When adding transitions between videos, it gets stuck and the next video changes continue the same transition
- When adding program, this program is repeated two or even three times and then continues the list of videos
- Communication between vTask and vMix takes a lot or is lost, when finishing a video is not continuous the playback sequence, there are spaces in black of 2-5 seconds.
- If I place a transition between videos with specific time of execution the following videos appear as aireade, does not execute the action and no longer continues the reproduction.
-In vMix, several entries are created with the videos to be played and filled (up to 8 entries in my case), so I have to go to vMix and delete the non-active entries
-The Video Out window is different from vMix, so if for some reason you preview the vMix video, vtask stops working.
-The Video Out window is different from vMix, so you do not see active overlays from vTask.



Suggestions

- In the video out window, Use the vMix NDI output of the main, this will allow to observe everything that happens to the output of vMix, video, active overlay, etc.
- Automatic removal of aerated videos from the vTask playlist
- Also mark with green strip the video that is reproducing on the air
- No automatic video playback before adding it to vTask
- Add option to export playlist in Excel format, this allows a report of daily playback

Good! Thanks. Good news if UNC paths work

For sure, but only one version can be default. I need 64 bit version to be default for some plugins to work, so this conflicts with 32 bit requiring to be default for vTask.

Did you consider using FFMPEG/FFPlay for your app's preview and trimming feature? I guess this would be a better solution as there is no need for a GUI that your app doesn't need.

Hi AnnanStudios, Thanks for an awesome app.
Currently I've been having this problem

It been not letting me to drag and drop any video files.
