For some of the broadcasts that I do we have the need to provide sponsors with statistics on how long their logo or commercial have been showing and we need to connect that with how many views our stream had at that particular time.
Is there a way to get stats like that out of the program. As a first step it would be great to have just how many seconds/minutes the input was live, either through a multiview, on its own or as an overlay.
Is this possible?

you could get some information from the API xml with some script checking if the commercial is active and running and if one is streaming and count the time all these criteria match maybe ?

All I really need to know is what time a specific input becomes active and when it becomes inactive and to record that to a database. If that's possible with the API, that would work. Would I have to create a script for every input that I need to have on record or can you siphon that information from somewhere?

http://127.0.0.1:8088/API Will give you all inputs under /vmix/inputs/input XPath. Make note of key and number. Subtract 1 from the number (so input number 1 will be 0, input number 5 will be 4 etc.) Save this data to your database after you have built your preset and you are no longer moving the inputs. You may also periodically poll this if input numbers change during the broadcast. Now use vMix TCP api: https://www.vmix.com/help20/TCPAPI.htmlSubscribe to TALLY messages: SUBSCRIBE TALLY Now you will get message for each time you transition, overlay something. Status values are following: 0 = off, 1 = program, 2 = preview. If you get the tally message, it will look something like: 001020 Every number in this string is separate status for input, starting from index 0 (remember, subtract 1 from the input number from the /API endpoint?) Then just keep track how long each input has been live. Tally message reports your every need, overlay, multiview and good old program. If you need this script written by someone else, contact me at mart.leib.estonia@gmail.com
