It appears that the API "Countdown" commands aren't working with GT titles in vMIx 22. Although they still work ok with non-GT titles. Has anyone else had any issues with this.

There seem to be some issues

for example changing text with an api call of Title "Scoreboard 1- VBA.gtzip" always revert to changing the first text item (HomeTitle.Text) regardless of which specified say
http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=3&SelectedName=AwayScore.Text&Value=yourtext

bonjour doggy,

I'm not having any issues with changing the text items as such. They seem to respond correctly. I'm using vMix Panel Builder v36 app, which I updated to comply with the new GT titles in VMix22. So far it's only an issue when sending any Countdown related commands (StartCountdown, PauseCountdown etc.) to clock items such as CLOCK.text in the "Scoreboard 1- VBA.gtzip" title.

If you are using a browser to send API commands, you need to 'URLEncode' some of the parameters like spaces. I noticed there is a space in the "Away Score.Text" item. If you use the following syntax, it should work:

http://127.0.0.1:8088/api/?Function=SetText&Input=1&SelectedName=Away%20Score.Text&Value=yourtext

Thanks Richard, you just could have slapped the back of my head ;-)
Stupid me ; SelectedName when using the field name , SelectedIndex when Using the field index nr , got confused due to the schortcut edit mentioning "Title" for Selected field option ( i often check in the shortcut creation how the webAPI has to be build and use indexes rather than names )
No wonder when my custom scoring app and its settingoptions still worked correctly :-)
