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!

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..

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.

Thanks Desmar, this may be the ticket. Would be great to have some code examples to work off. Thanks for the tip!
