Search for it in the Feature Request Forum.

I did something like that some time ago. I have found it again. Check with "Autohotkey" whether "vMix" has been started, then execute a shortcut in vMix with "Send". Autostart Batch: Code: echo off start C:\Apps\10_Streaming\10_Settings\10_Automation\vMix-start.ahk start C:\Apps\10_Streaming\10_Settings\12_Preset\Gottesdienst.vmix Autohotkey script: Code: WinWait ahk_exe vMix64.exe, SetTitleMatchMode, 2 WinWait, .vmix, IfWinNotActive, .vmix, , WinActivate, .vmix, WinWaitActive, .vmix, Send,{F8}

What say if a preset is not fully loaded yet ?

If one plays an audio file with -18db in a loop and thus saves the "preset", the audio file is played automatically after reopening the "preset". If you now set a "trigger" in the audio file "OnAudioMeterDB18 -> SelectCategory", the category is automatically changed after the start of the "preset". Whether this makes sense is open to question.

Could you post an example HTML? browser input with URL http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=ScriptStart&Value=Script164 for example or any other function (see helpfiles) For use when starting from a preset
