Possible bug on the latest version...

When designing a panel on a screen smaller than the panel size, in edit mode, the edit window disappears and can't be brought into view. It's in the taskbar / alt+tab selections, but selecting it just flashes and disappears. I assume it's probably rendering off screen somewhere.

I was attempting to work on a 1920x1030 panel on a 1366x768 laptop display. I'll have to wait to do it until I get to my home workstation with larger screens.

Thanks, Richard, for looking into that. I assumed that you just have the edit window default aligning to the right edge of the panel. Id guess it's just a matter of a new if/then to compare that Y to the windows desktop width and choose the lower number.

A couple of other things (sorry, I haven't been working with VMPB for a while)....

1. Are there any restrictions on size/shape/bit-depth of PNG images used for usericons? I have a bunch I made up. The thumbnails show up in the edit window, but about 1/3 of them won't actually assign to a button. All were edited in the same program and saved the same way. The ones that work are perfectly square, the ones that don't are rectangular. All have transparency.



2. In searching for an answer to question 1, I saw a lot of back and forth about trouble with usericon locations. I wonder if you might consider a zipped format for the panel files, and have vmpb house it's panel config and associated icons in one file. You're already keeping the parts in memory, so the proposed format would just get decompressed straight to memory upon opening. An added bonus is that your password protection system could then utilize the native password functionality of the zip format. Finally, it would make panel config transport to different systems very easy.

3. From what I read, it looks like you're writing this in .net (vb.net)? I was researching for a vb.net project I'm thinking about, and it seems pretty easy to embed VLC into .net apps to use as a monitor. Maybe the NDI API could also be embedded, but in either case - maybe the roadmap could include a video window to stream H.264 or NDI for confidence monitoring.

Download Error !!!

Yes indeed, the alpha part of the icon is not recognized by the mouse click. Glad you found that. I sometimes forget about that when someone has a similar issue.



I didn't really look at that but I think it might just complicate things further. Food for thought though...



I use Livecode for writing the apps mostly because of the multi-platform feature.



There are already several apps to monitor NDI. (much better than I can create :) The Panel Builder app is more focused as a controller for vMix.

'Oncountdowncompleted' is a "trigger" which is associated to an Input. Triggers are managed with vMix itself and not available as commands within the vMix API.

I have updated to 4.0.29, but I am still finding that the Tally is broken on BusXAudio buttons. The release notes say that this should be fixed in this version. Is this working for anybody else?

Cheers,

I am working on a new interface to accommodate smaller tablets. Hopefully in the next release..



This has been requested in the past, but is not a good idea, as it does not reflect an actual tally condition and could not be reliable.

yes of course this is a side effect and operator needs to be aware of this. but the possibility would be nice. it's a shame vmix doesn't have a full api with everything tally-enabled.
could you not just lock for the ack on the request to vmix api for a "confirmation" that it at least was received.



great with some work on the config interface for tablets.

Sample Templates and Documentation can be downloaded from the links in the first post.

Rugert, figured out the extensions in the templates. Thanks! A miracle, not a program. One depressing thing: why can't I adapt the program to the phone permission? There is a situation where the stream and video shooting is conducted by one person. It starts a remote broadcast and changes the titles at a sports event. It is very difficult to work with a camera and a tablet. The phone is more convenient in this case, but it is not possible to open the script on it due to the inability to open the template. We are forced to continue to use the connection to the Vmix WEB page. Can this be fixed?
