Images have to be referenced (link) to their source

from the help files :
Quote:
If your title includes an image field, this can also be assigned to a data source.
The data source text data must be either a full URL or file path in order to load correctly.
For example

http://www.example.com/image.jpg
c:\images\logo.png

You can use URL paths. eg http://yourwebsite.com/images/picture.png
as soon as you make a change or update the xml, the image will update in Vmix

Thank these links lead to no where. Anyway the XML data am getting comes directly from a third party so I would not have the images stored on my local server. I just pull a link add it to data sources in VMIX add the xpath and good to go. Once this is done I have all other fields. Please try this link in your VMIX and see if it works.

http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml?edition=int let me know what you use for Xpath.

then you link to the images on the source server .

using an online xpath tester will help you to find the codes for the nodes/xpaths you want

rss/channel/item[X]/media:thumbnail/@url
where x is the item from which you want the image


but wont work in datasources directly so you would need to use some codebehind in your title to acces it and display . no idea on how to get the item number, sorry

google was my friend
