ResetInput (see ShortCuts)

for auto refresh one could use a countdown timer somewhere and restart the timer with trigger or use it in a script

by manually starting it of by means of a shortcut (see settings -> scripting to create one )

the script would probably contain (vb.net language):
the instruction to ResetInput (function) the input you specify
have it wait for a while and loop back to do ResetInput again and so on

Creating scripts is only possible in 4K and pro license

the trigger oncountdowncompleted in a title works well too and probably easier to modify the time between resets

ALSO - when this type of input is refreshed, it needs to be seamless. Right now you can't refresh it while it's live because it visually resets as well (brief flash, immediate queue reset to image 1, etc.).

What to expect? it's preloading all the images for more efficient use



not if you set it to "current"



While its all possible i wonder if this is really the appropriate use (of vMix) for a slideshow this way

I'm glad I found this thread. I am implementing the same function and had not thought of scheduling a refresh. The system will be run from an external control system so the user interface will not be touched. I hear the dilemma with refresh causing an interruption in the output. I think for my application I can do an update in the middle of the night where the disruption won't be noticed. If there isn't an unnoticed time then I wonder about using 2 inputs and automating every other night an input is refreshed and transitioned to the new slideshow. This way it will simply switch back and forth each night. The slideshow will start from the beginning, but it will have a smooth transition.

I don't see that function in the function list for shortcuts. Sounds like the only way to add this to a shortcut is to have the shortcut activate a script which would need 4K or Pro. To clarify, is this correct?: There is no way to activate the "Refresh Photos" function in other versions except to use the right-click menu.
