This sounds good and interesting...

Its just a suggestion anyway... and the reason being that, i have been using the alpha version from day one, but the inability of adding a new video on the fly/realtime is something i think if you can work a way arnd it will be good.. even if the controller and the manager is not merged.

how about the ad integration? are you going to look into that as well?

Thanks for your input! Could you explain a little more? What kind of images/clips would you like to overlay?

Ok, i understand what you want. It's not difficult to modify the controler-app to support overlays as well, but the manager-app is strongly hardcoded to build a gap-less consecutive list of events, so you can't just add more events (of a different type). We'd need to extend media-events to have some fields describing the desired overlay... no easy task, might need a re-write of some central parts of the code - don't know if i'll ever find the time for that.

First priority now is updating the code to make use of the new capabilities, getting it from alpha to beta.

Help me decide, please:

Imagine you have some scheduled clips running and then change the schedule. What should happen when there is one clip running and you schedule another clip at the same time, say: Clip A is scheduled and running from 13:00 to 13:30, but at 13:15 you update the schedule and add Clip B to start at 13:10, then Clip C to start at 13:20 and later Clip D to start at 13:40.

Option 1) "immidiate transit":
As soon as you update the schedule vMix loads Clip B, skips the first 5 minutes and transits from Clip A to B. After that, the new schedule runs.

Option 2) "clean start":
Clip B is ignored (because its starttime has already passed), Clip A continues to play until 13:20, then Clip C will be started.

Option 3) "clean end":
Clip B is ignored, Clip A plays until its end, then Clip C is activated (missing the first 10 minutes).

Option 4) "clean start & end":
Clip B and C are ignored (because they conflict with Clip A which is already running), Clip A plays to its end at 13:30, then vMix waits until 13:40 and finally Clip D starts at 13:40.

In other words: what's your priority? Playing clips to the end, once they started? Or activating new schedules as soon as possible? Would you rather have clips shown only half, or would you prefer to have black (or filler media) before the next clips?

My thinking would be Option 1 since the intention is to make immediate changes... although I am not fond of interrupting any clips, 3 out of the 4 scenarios presented could be accomplished with Option 1 as the default behavior by removing clips from the schedule and the other scenario as well (Option 3) if you timed your reschedule to coincide with the end of clip A, so I think it makes the most sense.

Ok, after some minor problems (i had the demo version running on the machine i was coding on, but the 60 days was over, so i had to transfer my full version to that machine first) i now have an alpha release that makes use of some of the v10 features, but no new features built in yet. If you are running v10, give it a try:

vMixScheduler ALPHA 05 - needs vMix v10 to work!

If you have any old schedules lying around, please click "erase schedule" once, to avoid side effects...

So basically you are spamming my thread with advertising. Don't.

Thanks. I like to help where i can, but a) i didn't understand the question, and b) i got to the conclusion it might just be advertising spam - although it's hardly spam if there's no link or product mentioned.

I've had to stall all developement until august, as my daytime job is crazy right now. I hope v10 is final then, and will build upon that.

Its a pity things are getting tough at your place of work...

You have done a great job, and we appreciate what you have done so far... but please do make time out to at least try your working on it here and there.

The Lord is your strength. Wishing you all the best.
