Also, I'd like to pause/play a youtube clip with HTTP API? Am I looking at the browser section of the shortcuts for this?

Thanks for the Link to W3 livepad!

I am still at a loss though... I was hoping someone could give me an example string of what to type in. Specifically to add an NDI source via HTTP API. I could probably figure out what to replace on my end in terms of name of NDI source, etc.

That reminds me... Is there a way to specify or reserve the input number the new source creates? Perhaps there is a better way of doing this that I am unaware of but..

I'd like to keep my API string that triggers an overlay on/off from Panamation's workspace the same every time I run vMix regardless of what sources I may have added or active. Is this possible? To me, this means that either I must A) load a saved project file that keeps Panam in the same input location or B) create an API command that Add's Panam as an input (via NDI) and dictates that it always be the same input number (let's say 997)

If possible, what would that string look like? This?

127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=AddInput997&NDI=GlobeCaster_Panamation

Then I could write my api command to run the overlay1 with input 997 and it would always work because those inputs would be reserved

like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/api?Function=OverlayInput1&Input=997

While we are at it, what do I type in if I want to jog frame back and forth on a clip using regular vMix?

127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetPosition.....

Thanks again, I promise you'll only have to show me once :)

From the help files:

NDI





NDICommand

Send specified command to NDI source



Value = Command

NDISelectSourceByIndex

Value = Index 0-100

NDISelectSourceByName

NDIStopRecording

There is no API command to add an NDI source at this time..

only Source Types available to add are

Video
Image
Photos
Xaml
VideoList
Colour
AudioFile
Flash
PowerPoint

If NDI was there, the command would look like.

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/api/?Function=AddInput&Value=Type|ComputerName%20InputName
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/api/?Function=AddInput&Value=NDI|ComputerName%20Display1

or

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/api/?Function=AddInput&Value=NDI|ComputerName%20(Display1)

or

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8088/api/?Function=AddInput&Value=NDI|ComputerName%20%28Display1%29



%20 is for the hex value for space character...
%28 is for the hex value for ( character...
%29 is for the hex value for ) character...

If I get a chance in the next months or so or I will try and write an HTTP API converter app for each command in vMix which will output the correct HTTP API command
