Take a look at GitHub - worlds flags in SVG and PNG It might help you.

its easy enough using data sources with the country code placeholder wrapped with the file location and IMO the most practical way to change the data by just going through the list and select your competitor . we use a special folder for that just containing all the flag images

in a script i believe you will have to read the content of a textfield (a visually hidden one) which contains the country code and translate that to instuct your image field to load the appropriate flag file

I am actually at a loss as as you state you prepared a list and still wants to manually change using the web interface each individual field

IMO i believe you need to brush up on using data sources
Load the whole list of all the competitors in the datasources open it up (as it only needs to contain the name and the country code you can have it in a very narrow window, we do this all the time) and just select the name from the list , no need for the flag file location to be in the datasource list as the code is enough and as said can be wrapped in the title data source format field
as for remote control , there are many options to go through the list from webshortcut, regular shortcut, streamdecks etc to advance through the list

just use your spreadsheet to create your list initially , after that you dont need it anymore ( unless you want to edit items ) . We do hundreds of participants this way with more info needed but to select from the list we only need to see the name

Sorry ;-)

From what i understand of your goal one could also use both ways , like only have certain fields related to the datasource and others manually through the web interface.(you didnt mention placings and subheadings text before)

I assume the placings will be chronological input as you mentioned pointing marking an athlete at arrival so you could have a shortcut that just adds a value(placing) for example

I'll be honest , I still work a lot with the classical xaml titles as i can put formulas in the back coding to automate even more as just like you there is just not enough time (nor screen estate) to go start looking in a list (often create a little external app to automate even further of make input easier, but very sport element specific

While a lot can be achieved strait from within vMix , using its capabilities from outside ( and userfriendly) is often beneficial , granted it demands a bit of more prepping but once you have it it can be used over and over again

BTW , we never create the lists ourselves but get them from the event , we might tweak the columns a bit (or check the country codes and if we have all the flags etc) to match out titles but not going to enter manually hundreds of names and extras ;-)

The fun part of it all it to find a easy workflow that works for you demanding a bit of brainstorming and thinking outside the box ;-).

as an extra , scripting might help with your web Interface for the flags again if the flag images are in a specific location

the script can read the value of a (hidden) Textfield and translate that to the image that needs to be displayed

something like:



havent figured out how to specify which image in the title in case of multiple , the Image placeholder variable/name like in a shortcut doesn't take :-( so will be the first one in the list this way

Yes, That's it :-)


API.Function("SetImage",Input:="mytitle",SelectedName:="FromPhoto.Source",Value:=i )

Used a social title here that i renamed the input for

will have to make the script loop to continuously check for the text change

I see it now...

If you have a number of images, such as player faces, you can use SelectedIndex=3 eg instead of SelectedName, so can use in a loop.

yes (on the selectedindex)
