I would like to add a stream input to vMix using API.

It works well with local files:
- http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=AddInput&Value=Video|C:\Users\Nemesis\Desktop\small.mp4

However impossible to make it work with my RTSPTCP stream. I Tried:
- http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=AddInput&Value=Video|rtsp://localhost:1935/vod/sample -> File Not Found
- http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=AddInput&Value=Stream|rtsp://localhost:1935/vod/sample -> Function completed successfully. (But not working)
- http://localhost:8088/API/?Function=AddInput&Value=RTSPTCP|rtsp://localhost:1935/vod/sample -> Function completed successfully. (But not working)

I can add this input stream using UI, but really interested about adding it with API

Any idea on this ?
Thank you

Is it a stream or a video file? .MP4 is a video file, and not a stream.. so it's very ambigious what you are trying to add as an input.

Sorry it is misleading, I updated the question.

Hi

with a RTMP Stream, it works
?Function=AddInput&Value=Flash|rtmp://192.168.0.67:1935/play/dwamx

with RTSP the correct syntax should be (as reported by the API after manual input)
?Function=AddInput&Value=Stream|RTSPTCP rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov
but it doesn't work, I guess because of the space between the protocol and the address

I tried with
?Function=AddInput&Value=Stream|RTSPTCP%20rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov
and
?Function=AddInput&Value=Stream|RTSPTCP|rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_175k.mov
but not good either

Any idea for replacing this space in the querystring? Or shall it be reported as a bug?

Awesome, I will use RTMP as a fallback if needed :) Merci Guillaume

With the new VLC stream we definitely need the API script support.
Any News for a correct syntax ?


keep up the good work !

I search everything but I can't add a RTMP VLC source via WebAPI.
Message to the dev team please make the "AddInput&Value=VLC|RTMPURL" possible.

Best regards.
