Hello,

For my M5Stick Tally Project, I'd like to expand some functionality to also display whether vMix is streaming/recording. However, I can't find a way in the documentation to read the status of vMix. The WEB API is used to trigger events and turn stuff on or off, and the TCP API only accepts subsciptions to TALLY or ACTS neither of which will give me the information I need. Am I looking past something, or is it simply not possible to know what the status of vMix is using the current API?

Cheers,
Guido

Hello,

TCP API have XMLTEXT command.

Quote:

Format: XMLTEXT XPATH

Example Request: XMLTEXT vmix/inputs/input[1]/@title\r\n

Example Response: XMLTEXT OK This is the title of the first input\r\n

Example Request: XMLTEXT vmix/inputs/input[6]/text[@name='Headline']\r\n

Example Response: XMLTEXT OK This is the value of Headline text field in title input that is the number 6 (index 5) input.\r\n

Description: Uses the XPATH syntax to retrieve individual text values of the XML state.


Use

Code:
vmix/streaming

Code:
vmix/recording

Code:
vmix/external


As XPath parameter.

Awesome, thanks elgarf! A follow up question, though:
It isn't possible to subscribe to the XMLTEXT, so I need to poll to know the status. Is there another, more efficient way, of retrieving the data rather than polling it every 5 seconds?

It isn't possible, that's the problem. I'll add it on the features request board.

Thanks for your help elgarf!
