Is it possible to call a http request as part of a vMix script?

I have one script that uses:

Dim client = WebRequest.create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/11")
Dim response = client.GetResponse()

This syntax does not work as part of another script though. Only standalone.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Dim response = client.GetResponse()

As the only thing in a standalone vmix script works.

If I try those lines as part of other functions in a new script it does not. For instance:

Funtion=SetTitlePreset&Value=0&Input=33
Sleep 5000

Dim client = WebRequest.create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/11")
Dim response = client.GetResponse()


That new script does not work.

Not a good idea to mix and match protocols

https://forums.vmix.com/...ng-for-Dummies#post70833

btw where did you get the SetTitlePreset function from ?


Code:
API.Function("SetText",Input:="Title 43- Circling Green.gtzip",SelectedName:= "Description.Text",Value:= "Hallo")

dim client as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=Title 43- Circling Green.gtzip&SelectedName=Headline.Text&Value=other Text")
dim response As WebResponse  = client.GetResponse()
response.Close

@doggy.

I used it from the Shortcut reference list. Works well.

As far as what I'm trying to accomplish. Maybe I wasn't clear. Sorry. I am trying to press a Companion button externally from inside of a vMix Script. So I need to use vMix functions then as part of that script call to a http address of an external program.

Thanks,
Kevin

Code is a working example of a vmix function AND a Httprequest within the same script. adapt to your needs

I do not find the SetTitlePreset function/shortcut in vMix

@doggy.

So I got that working fine. Next issue. Can I have more than one request inside of each script? Im an amateur at this more advanced stuff but was getting a "client already exists" error in the script. I changed the name to add a number and it saved ok without errors but only the first request runs. What am I doing wrong?

Heres what I have:

API.Function("SelectTitlePreset",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR", Value:= 3)
Sleep (500)
dim client as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/20/23")
dim response As WebResponse = client.GetResponse()
response.Close
Sleep (100)
dim client2 as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/5")
dim response2 As WebResponse = client2.GetResponse()
response.Close
Sleep (500)
API.Function("StartCountdown",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR")
Sleep (310000)
dim client3 as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/2")
dim response3 As WebResponse = client3.GetResponse()
response.Close
API.Function("SelectTitlePreset",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR", Value:= 0)
Sleep (500)


Thanks

if you want to send several commandos in a row, you only have to define the variables client and response once.
in your code you have renamed the variable response to response2, but you close the previous connection response.


Code:
dim response as system.net.webresponse
dim client as system.net.webrequest

client = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=1&SelectedIndex=0&Value=Some Text")
response = client.GetResponse()
response.Close
sleep (1000)
client = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=1&SelectedIndex=0&Value=other text")
response = client.GetResponse()
response.Close
sleep (1000)
client = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=1&SelectedIndex=0&Value=213245546")
response = client.GetResponse()
response.Close
sleep (1000)
client = WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=1&SelectedIndex=0&Value=end")
response = client.GetResponse()
response.Close

My bad! That was a mistype from the beginning. BTW the script I posted did work as listed after a restart of vmix. Strange. Thanks for your help!!

API.Function("SelectTitlePreset",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR", Value:= 3)
Sleep (500)
dim client as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/20/23")
dim response As WebResponse = client.GetResponse()
response.Close
Sleep (100)
dim client2 as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/5")
dim response2 As WebResponse = client2.GetResponse()
response.Close
Sleep (500)
API.Function("StartCountdown",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR")
Sleep (310000)
dim client3 as WebRequest= WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.200.192:8888/press/bank/13/2")
dim response3 As WebResponse = client3.GetResponse()
response.Close
API.Function("SelectTitlePreset",Input:="MESSAGE TO MONITOR", Value:= 0)
Sleep (500)
