Have more variables into 1 DynamicValue and select them by their position(number) and update


Code:
API.Function("SetDynamicValue1",Value:="value1,value2,value3,value4")

dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
dim MyValues as string = (x.SelectSingleNode("//dynamic/value1").InnerText)

dim MyVals() as string = MyValues.Split(",")

For i As Integer = 0 To MyVals.Length - 1
Console.WriteLine(MyVals(i))
Next

'replace one of the values
MyVals(1) = "Cat"

'save the updated values
Dim result As String = String.Join(",", str2)
API.Function("SetDynamicValue1",Value:=result )

Sure read the current displayed time within the title from the API XML and code your decision and commands based on that . How to get that info (time) has been addressed in previous posts here

The small icon or logo that appears then disappears on network television is called a "bug". It's not present all the time because it can cause burn in issues (faint ghost of the bug visible even when it's not being shown) on the screens displaying the video.

I wrote a simple script to turn the bug on for one minute out of every five minutes

Code:

'Bug control, turn on the Identity Bug for one minute out of every five minutes


console.writeline ( "Bug control started")
Dim BugIsOn as boolean = false
API.Function("OverlayInput4Out")

Do While True
     Dim LastDigitOfMinutes as string = DateTime.Now.ToString("mm").substring(1,1)
     if BugIsOn then
        If LastDigitOfMinutes <> "5" and LastDigitOfMinutes <> "0" Then
            ' No longer a minute ending with 0 or 5 so turn the bug off
            API.Function("OverlayInput4Out") 
            BugIsOn = false
        End If
    else
        If LastDigitOfMinutes = "5" or LastDigitOfMinutes = "0" Then
            ' Minute now ends with "0" or "5" - Turn the bug on
            API.Function("OverlayInput4In",Input:="<<name of your input goes here>>")
            BugIsOn = true
        End If
    End If
    sleep(1000)  ' Sleep for one second
Loop


We use overlay 4 for our bug and while you can use the input number instead of the name of your input in your script it's subject to breakage if someone removes a lower numbered input. Of course if someone renames the input it will also break but I prefer that risk.

This script runs as a vMix global script under Settings>Scripting

Nope: Input number and input ID (or key) are 2 different things ;-)

Oh yeah, that's right. That's a number that won't change unless the input is deleted and recreated. Probably should be using that.

Still not sure: either its a Playlist or a List Input

Playlist: one can not check the next item in the list , only the current one playing
List : one can pull the list from the API xml and the one that is selected/playing (so one could theoretically deduct which would be the next one in line)

BUT why not just have either one (list or playlist) build properly and have either one just on loop? no testing needed

Hello Expert,

Is it Possible to enable/disable and move among items in list using script since there are no functions available? If yes, please help give some syntax!

Open the list editor and use the mouse to move amongst the items or change the order.

Maybe explain a bit better your intentions

sleep(500)
Loop


Thanks for this script. I will use it for playing list of several items in AutoNext mode. I want the trigger to occur once at the last item with their total duration and not before every item ends. What should be the syntax like? Thank you for help

Why would you need this script if you are playing the list in auto next ?

Quote:

Again , the mentioned script is not applicable then (some of it's ideas might)

Quote:

So you want someone to solve your specific request by writing code for you ? With all due respect I suggest hiring a programmer!

Tell the programmer the code needs to check for the last item being played, check when its at the end of its play and then perform the trigger.

There are often several different ways to skin a cat. This thread provides little tidbits and ideas to start from and learn.
