So i've spent AAAAAGGGGGEEEEESSSSS looking and trying to work out how to display the current time in a specific time zone as a title and include the time zone initials AND have it loop as a continuous time. I had worked it out a few weeks ago but then a subsequent vmix re-install and I lost it so i'm putting in here for anyone else wanting it and my own benefit if i lose it again. All is compared against UTC. Create vmix time input and then enter this into the scripting module EDIT: - Have tidied these up a little to be a bit more user friendly and more efficient for the computer. Code:
'Time of Day for GMT time zone - BUT ADAPT AS NECESSARY
'Set your Time Zone Offset to universal time coordinated eg. New York -5hrs or Sydney +11
Dim tzo as integer
tzo = 0
'Set your Time Zone Initials - eg. EST - Eastern Standard time
Dim tzi as string
tzi = " GMT"
'Set the vmix input name to write the timer to
Dim ipname as string
ipname = "daytime"
Dim newtime as string
Dim currenttime as string
currenttime = newtime + tzi
Do while true
newtime = datetime.utcnow.addhours(tzo).tostring("HH:mm:ss")
currenttime = newtime + tzi
API.Function("Settext", input:=ipname, selectedindex:="0", value:=currenttime)
Sleep(300)
Loop
Code:
'Time of Day for CET time zone - BUT ADAPT AS NECESSARY
'Set your Time Zone Offset to universal time coordinated eg. New York -5hrs or Sydney +11
Dim tzo as integer
tzo = +1
'Set your Time Zone Initials - eg. EST - Eastern Standard time
Dim tzi as string
tzi = " CET"
'Set the vmix input name to write the timer to
Dim ipname as string
ipname = "daytime"
Dim newtime as string
Dim currenttime as string
currenttime = newtime + tzi
Do while true
newtime = datetime.utcnow.addhours(tzo).tostring("HH:mm:ss")
currenttime = newtime + tzi
API.Function("Settext", input:=ipname, selectedindex:="0", value:=currenttime)
Sleep(300)
Loop
Another neat trick is to create a browser input and put the following into the address field so that the script auto starts when you open your preset - "http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=scriptstart&value=nameofscript"

Would be nice if the code was put in (language) quotes ! Code:Dim d1 As DateTime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(3)
API.Function("SetText",Input:=45,SelectedIndex:="0" ,Value:=d1.ToString("dd/MM/yy H:mm:ss"))
Glad you figured it out though :-)

Glad you figured it out though :-) Learned a new thing! Didn’t know how to do language quotes. Done. 👍
