Hi Guys,
I am looking to build some custom software to control vMix. I was wondering what the best language would be to make the program? I have been using "livecode" but it is not very efficient and is having some performance problems. So I am rebuilding!
I am considering python as it works with my hardware controller. Any suggestions welcome!
Also I read somewhere that you can send commands to vMix naively based on a .dll or the .exe? I can't seem to find where I read it.
I am also interested in reading / editing the replay.xaml document in real time. But I can only find a brief mention of this in the forum with no further info.
Any guidance appreciated!

Any guidance appreciated! I find Ross Dashboard very powerful (javascript), but are looking to build a redistributable stand alone app? Steve, PS I even use it control CasparCG.

Thanks for the tip I will have a look at that (I have a big soft spot for CasparCG too!)
I would like something I can redistribute in the long run.

I use c# in Visual Studio 2019. Lot's of code in the github for vMix coding.. Elgarf's vMix UTC (Universal Title Controller) has some source code to get you started.. Originally Posted by: aircooled76@gmail.com Thanks for the tip I will have a look at that (I have a big soft spot for CasparCG too!)

I would like something I can redistribute in the long run. I believe I have one of your CCG livecode examples. I too became a fan, but some things became too complicated for my projects. Let me know if you need a Dashboard sample project. Steve

I built a controller using Arduino and it works very well.

I would like something I can redistribute in the long run. Thanks Desmar, this may be the ticket. Would be great to have some code examples to work off. Thanks for the tip!
