Is it possible to capture, script, massage, spin, fold or staple the data from vMix social ?

I can not find any info on how vmix social handles the data it captures from FB and YT.

I would like to read the data vmix maps to GT titles and make decisions on this information.
Is this possible? Is this data available in vmix xml files or real time data anywhere ?

Easy, pull the data (script) from the title social ( you don't use visually ) has populated it with , and let a script make the decisions and transfer the allowed/modified data that to duplicate of the title you actually going to use in the production)

Doggy ok this makes sense. But I have to work through the logic in my head to fully understand how to implement something like this.

I will have to do some testing and mock up to get my head around this.

But thanks for adding a little gasoline to the fire. :)

LeeL, would help if you could give an idea on what sort of decisions you are thinking of.

Sure didn't want to bother you with the details but basically it would be something like this...

I want to capture and record / calculate / manipulate the results of a poll.
I would put a question on the screen, the a person would type the answer such A, B, C, D in the comments. (I might need to add a designation such 4:C, 4:A or something to make sure I can grab the correct answer).

That part should be easy and it is no different than the way the Social app works now.

The part I am trying to figure out is where can I programmatically access the results. Obviously I can map that to variables inside of a Title but how else can I grab that data and through scripting manipulate that data ?

Thanks. You are always a wealth of knowledge and suggestions on this forum !

When you are saying "poll" i think of multiple people responding to a series of questions ( sure there are facebook additions to do this live just like quizzes and such)

But as you mention through a social title i imagine 1 person answering to a question.
If that is the case i believe you are going to select the answer from the social posts and display it in the Social title

A script can easily grab content of a titel textbox :
Code:
Answer = Input.Find("InputName").Text("Headline.Text")
for example and then do the rest of the scripting stuff (vb.net coding) , even saving it somewhere else etc

Might have a check here https://forums.vmix.com/...86-Scripting-for-Dummies

This definitely points me in the right direction. And think quiz or poll so during a live stream people could be replying. Not necessary to start but at some point I would like to be able total results per user or overall, etc. (i.e. 74% of respondents think the sky is blue)

I assume once I capture the result in a variable I could stuff that into a data source or anything else a script can touch.
Also thanks for the scripting reference.
