By Image1 the pad (browse) to my image is C:\Test\NowPlaying.jpg This won't refresh. Anyone a suggestion? By source I see txt and sheets etc. But I can't find info how to work with a picture that way. (Now playing text by source works great!)

Text>>> text file with artist and song title Xml>>> picture of the album art The screenshot show a picture of album art this is because I put it in with the title editor (browse). After that I give the picture a pad in Vmix >>>xml file gerrit attached the following image(s): vmix.jpg (444kb) downloaded 14 time(s). You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

I do not know the criteria on which datasource changes is based on I actually wonder why you would change the album image to the same name while i imagine they are all individual seperate items you can select based on te song or whatever criteria you are using. There is somewhere in this forum a title with script posted by Martin (vMix) that deals with reloading an image based on it being edited/updated edit: found it ; https://forums.vmix.com/default....osts&m=5025#post5025

But the Xml file works with a hard route >>> C:\Test\Madonna.jpg next song is Micheal.jpg but the xml file doesn't now if I don't change it manual.

Would be bad practise to reload and redisplay , especially big files, just for the heck of it and loose focus on vMix's main purpose. Think you rather need to look into properly changing your data collection approach.
