I have configured an auto updating scoreboard that is being fed using XML. The scoreboard is being run by my official scorer on an Ipad. Everything works wonderfully except one thing. When pitch speed data is delivered it shows as it should. But what i want it to do is show no number after a given period of time. On the XML side, its programmed to disappear after 5 seconds, and vmix is infact showing the data going away. but the number on my actual board wont stop showing the last pitch speed. My data feed is set to be refreshed every 1000 milliseconds so i would think it would see "no value" and display no value but the numbers just wont stop displaying. I've gotten this to work on video displays in my location (sourced from the same app on ipad) but in the scoreboard in vmix the value of pitch speed won't go away....

needs to be replaced by a blank instead of a no value in the title
Can you show the actual bit of the data send in the xml file please to check in both moments

The XML sends a value then 5 seconds later sends a blank field. Vmix is seeing the field go blank but won't display a blank value when it goes away.

This XML feed also generates the speed on my video board's in the park and there it disappears as it should when no value is present. In the XML feed (in the setup xml feed area of VMIX) it is going away after 5 seconds. So i know the XML portion is doing what it's supposed to do. In fact, all other parts of this XML feed is working in vmix flawlessly. Stats, due ups, etc.. it's just this one little quirk that I can't figure out.

Can you post the xml and xpath you are using? Is the XML generate manually? If so you may have some syntax related to text fields that needs to be tweaked.
I can tell you that a blank text field goes blank if configured properly. That what happens when we lose connection to our daktronics.
Most likely, you are removing or misconfiguring the tags that tell vmix that it is still an empty text field. Vmix is, I am guessing, reading it as a field that is not parsed.

<pitchspeed /> Difficult to post the entire data field when no values are being registered. As that only happens during a game. The XML gets generated automatically when values are present. It's data pulled from a web site being fed, esentially, via a radar system. When the value is "none" (after 5 seconds) the fields are represented with no value. It's weird that of the (oh about 8 programs that read this xml chain) this is the only one where the value doesn't disappear when the value times out. It disappears on my video electronic systems, my in house broadcasting systems, and on the machines that also pull the data. I just figured it was a setting somewhere i had missed in VMIX. Ultimately is it a big deal? no. It just struck me as odd that it happens here and no where else. If I can copy the XML feed today during a live game I will and post it here. Thanks you guys for taking the time to reply. (edit post) <pitchspeed>93</pitchspeed> Ok so there is the xml line when a pitch is thrown. It times out after 5 seconds and would look like this: </pitchspeed> Hope that is what you were asking for.

In XML, you can indicate an empty element like this: <element></element> or you can use an empty tag, like this (this sort of element syntax is called self-closing): <element /> The two forms above produce identical results in an XML parser

Ok. I'll ask the software coder to change that. I wonder why the other systems are reading it correctly... Thanks for the reply.
