there are no closing tags like for Site , operator or what else that might be missing in the xml you posted

anyway here is a nice little tool to figure out your xpaths :-)

i have tried to use the xpath from the site (/Site/Operator/Film/Sessions/Session[1]/Session_dtmFeature) but still had every information in that path populated.
could it be that Vmix does not currently support filtering content from an XML

if i use xpath to hit the playing times directly, i will not be able to map it with its Film_strTitle. so i used /Site/Operator/Film
  • to grab everything under each Film. i thought i will be able to filter the times from format like the image

    maybe open the xml twice?
    Data in a title is not restricted to one datasource table only

    watch out your formatting ! usually just {0}
