Hello,

Thanks for the fine work on data sources, I noticed one thing missing.

I Suggest adding ODBC as an option. That will open up more sources of data.

Things like:

MS SQL Servers
MS Access Files
My SQL Servers/MariaDB
Oracle
PostgreSQL
MongoDB

Many other strange and wonderful formats that are not that common as well.

Thanks,

Speegs

Apologies for the necropost but I was thinking about this just now.

We have started to stream almost all of our school events online including Award ceremonies and it would be great to tap directly into our databases to pull out staff, student and photo details for titles.

Short of that it would be developing some bespoke web app to tap into these data sources and publish JSON or something out.

While I +1 this FR, I want to mention that it's already possible to use all those databases (SQL, MySQL, Access, Oracle, ...) without an ODBC driver implemented in vMix. I have been doing it for years already.

The solution is to write and query a script (ASPX, PHP, Ruby or anything you like) from vMix that does the SQL request against your database and formats the results so that vMix can use it, for example in CSV, XML or JSON.
