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

I want to trigger something before the list ends

Quote:
I want the trigger to occur once at the last item with their total duration and not before every item ends.


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

I will keep looking for this till it's solved

Quote:
What should be the syntax like?


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.


Thank you for your suggestion, i love this thread because it is for Dummy and i love learning.

You are contradicting yourself

<>
Quote:

Anyway , check if last item of list is playing or get the total time of the list items then check its time and calculate

Heya guys, I would need some help

I have a layer in .gtzip that is hidden, and would like for it to become visible after a certain cell in my Google Sheet becomes "yes" (e.g. or some other word/number).

I'm trying to find out how can vMix read a cell from Google Sheet?

Use your google sheet as a data source and connext the"yes" cell tot a textbox in your title . hide that if needed.

Let the script read that textbox and act upon its value with approprate functions.

Chech out previous comments inthis post to see how to retrieve the text from a title textbox

Do you mean close the inputs (remove) or just silence them ?
What do you have so far ?

For an exception create an if then else loop while checking the name of the input

Had to login to say thank you! You made me use my head and find a solution instead of just giving one to me! :) it was hard, but I found what I needed to do, but not in a way how I wanted to do it (I've sent a number from GSheet to Data Source, linked it to a random .gtzip and then the script reads the number and does what I need).

Thank you once again!

hello, is it possible to make a script to auto choose the last item of the list when cut/fade to the list, regardless of whether other items is added or not? Like this topic: https://forums.vmix.com/.../t8562-LastItem-for-List

Directly No (there is no select function for a list) , indirectly Yes

Quote:
, regardless of whether other items is added or not?
even if there is only one it will be the last one also ;-)
What is the criteria of a last item ? time/date , manually added , added based on some production process, why a list to play only one ?


script: check the XML API for the list input content, check for the file in last place , loaded into vMix and transition to it to play

Hello,

First i must explain the theme i have a little;

- I have uvmap virtual sets.
- Each virtual set has it's own NDI source and these are constant. (in example: "Virtual Set1" does always include "NDI source1")

- I also have multilayer inputs.
- Each multilayer input have above virtual sets distributed between layer3 and layer9
- Layer order of these virtual sets are always changing. (but they are always between layer3-layer9)
- Each of these multilayer inputs have different positioning, some layers are positioned outside of the screen limits, but they still have their virtual sets on them to be able to make clean merge transition.


I'm working on a script which i want to do the below, there will be different scripts for each multilayer input.

Step 1) It will determine which input is on layer 3,4,5 (i'm confused at this step)
Step 2) it will turn on the audio of NDI inputs depending on the input it determined on step 1
Step 3) it will determine which input is on layer 6,7,8,9 (again this is the step i'm stuck)
Step 4) it will turn of the audio of NDI inputs depending on the input it determined on step 3

Once i achieve to have one working script, i will create for all other multilayer inputs based on the working one.

Appreciate your help on Step 1&3

I'm not able to use a variable in "inputnametoaddtolayer3" field. It works with a number. So, am I missing something??

Code:

'Change/Add the input of a multilayer Input
API.Function("SetMultiViewOverlay",Input:="InputWithMultiview",Value:="3,inputnameToAddToLayer3")



I also use the function "SetLayer".

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I've been looking for a while. Thank you all for sharing all this tips. Scripting in vmix is changing everything for the better :)

inputnameToAddToLayer3 is within the quote of the value string so is taken literally and not as a variable !

Either build it up a string by pulling the variable's content first and convert
or Try something like this maybe:
Code:
...........,Value:="3," + inputnameToAddToLayer3.tostring)

If the variable contains an integer else just the variable name if already a string

Good idea is to check out the tons of vb.net coding sites !

Yeah!

I tried string and integer. Also tried:
...........,Value:="3," & inputnameToAddToLayer3)

It kinda works for the first line but I get an error (on save no errors are shown)

"error line 5: The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this."

to add, even if I have a long list of working functions, sometimes I get this message.
If you run the script multiple times I eventualy end up with all the functions running.

So, I assume there is something we have to do earlier or, it is what it is.

Thanks

How are we supposed to know without any source ,what you have done/written, want to achieve . Kinda guess maybe?

you will never get an error if the logic of the script is wrong . typos, bad syntaxes on the other hand will bug you to no end.
Scripts can not read minds, nor can we

You are right! I'm sorry about that.

So, I have a number of inputs designed to acomodate vmixcall inputs. Depending on the session, I use diferent calls so I have a script for each session. Because the script is big, I'll show the example for the first 2 layout inputs.

<code>

'First, making sure all layers are ON, inside layout inputs

dim inputn as integer = 24

for n as integer = 24 to 47

dim layer1 as integer = 1

for i as integer = 1 to 10
API.Function("LayerOn",Input:=inputn,Value:=layer1)
layer1 = layer1 + 1
next

inputn = inputn + 1
Sleep(200)
next

'next, define vmixcall to each speaker

dim moderador as integer = 1 'refer call for the moderator
dim oradora as integer = 2 'refer call for the first speaker
dim oradorb as integer = 3 'refer call for the second speaker

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="24",Value:="2,"&moderador)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="2,"&moderador)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="3,"&oradora)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="4,"&oradorb)

</code>

With the code like this I have a syntax error.

The current script I use works but I have to go througth each line individualy:

<code>
API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="24",Value:="2,1")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="2,1")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="3,2")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="4,3")
</code>

Sorry for the long text. I hope it helps other folks also. Thanks :)

Did you actually read previous answers? the "moderador" etc you are using are integers but have to be a string !
Also add s pace before and after & or use a +

Overly complex, you set up a for-next loop with an integer that goes from 1 to 10 and just before the loop you set an integer to 1 and increment it by 1 each time through the loop which is totally redundant because it will always have the exact same value as the integer from the for-next loop.

The following may not work either but it's simpler and should be a lot closer to functional. It have tried it but I don't have access to vMix right now to see what it might complain about.

Code:

'			First, making sure all layers are ON, inside layout inputs

dim inputn as integer = 24
for n as integer = 24 to 47
	for layer1 as integer = 1 to 10
		API.Function("LayerOn",Input:=inputn,Value:=layer1)
	next
	inputn += 1
	Sleep(200) ' Wait .2 seconds
next
'			next, define vmixcall to each speaker

dim moderador as string = "1" 	'	refer call for the moderator
dim oradora as string = "2"   	'	refer call for the first speaker
dim oradorb as string = "3"   	'	refer call for the second speaker

API.Function("SetLayer", Input:= "24", Value:= "2," + moderador)
API.Function("SetLayer", Input:= "25", Value:= "2," + moderador)
API.Function("SetLayer", Input:= "25", Value:= "3," + oradora)
API.Function("SetLayer", Input:= "25", Value:= "4," + oradorb)
