Would love to see a big red "STREAM" or "RECORD" status on the multiview fullscreen output, simmiliar to what you see in the main screen.

Why not use a title text linked to a datasource for the status ?

XML datasource
URL http://127.0.0.1:8088/api
XPATH //recording ( or //streaming)

and then get fancy and design a title with item reacting in color based on the returned value (some examples are somewhere in this forum)

Thanks for the hint on this. In case anyone else would benefit, here is the XAML for the title I am going with. I added datasources for Recording and Streaming, and it shows as True or False. When Recording or Streaming is inactive, the background is gray with a 50% text opacity. When active ("True") is is white text with a red background. The dimensions of the box and size of the text are specific for Bebas Neue Bold font.

Code:

This is a very great thing what you guys created here.

Any ideas why this is not working on my end? Is there more to do than putting the code in an xaml file und import to vmix? I can see the Record / Stream Buttons but nothing happens when i start Recording oder Streaming.

Thank you!

Have you set a XML datasource to URL http://127.0.0.1:8088/api with XPATH to //recording ( or //streaming)

see 2nd post in this thread and also above the code where Natep mentions "I added datasources for Recording and Streaming, and it shows as True or False."

Have you mapped 'RecordingStatusValue' in the title editor to this Datasource ? (similar for StreamingStatusValue)

Might want to check the help files

DOn't know what the issue is , i tested and it works for recording (haven't tested streaming in the title)
I do know that since more recent versions of vMix there is also a counter running in the xml file but shouldn't matter

EDIT: make sure you don't use 'auto' in your title datasource column selection as it will become the duration counter instead the fals/true text !

Anyway to link the RecordingStatusValue or Streaming one, so that when you close the XAML and put it back into a project it remains connected to the data source?

Essentially I want to skip step 2. Linking the columns somehow. If the datasource had to be named a certain way that make sense. Or if the contents of the XAML file at to reference something like.

$DS:XML:Table:XML:Column:#text or something like that?

If not would be a good feature for Vmix, being able to address a data sourse column via a XAML or Title.
