Theoretically it could be done by reading the preset files XML but is rather pointless as it doesn't update instantly.

On the other hand if one is changing a colour in the first place, why not keep track of it in your script , or save it as a dynamic value

Automated Player Script.

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I'm testing a preset to handle an automated idea but I require someone to help me with some scripting (I'm more than happy to pay) as I haven't got a clue about scripts etc.

I have around 70ish mp4 video files placed within a folder, currently I have to manually select an input number and a viewers name from vMix Social, once the video ends it then plays a small animation to say the next person being selected, after 5 seconds it then plays the next mp4 from the preview section that I've selected from an input - I also select a random persons name from the vMix Social).

What I'm after is a script that will automatically pick a viewers name from vMix Social, display their name, and then pick a different input number (the mp4 file) or mp4 randomly from a folder (but not the same mp4 twice).

I'm pretty sure this is doable.

As I said I'm happy to pay for someone to create a script for me if someone can help. Thanks in advnace.

Hello everyone!
I really need help. Perhaps it was somewhere.
We need a script that allows you to run the trigger on the input for a certain time before the end of the video in the input.
I want to make the transition to blackout 400/760/1000 ms before the end of the video.
Thanks!

I think I found it. But I did not understand how to apply this to the input I needed. Does this script affect the active input? And what changes do you need to make to this script for it to work?
Help me figure it out, I don't understand anything at all in VB))

With all due respect I created this post with the intention of helping people on the way learning vMix scripting (hints,tips, smal basic general examples in addition to the helpfiles) not for fully personalized script requests.

You are asking for a script that is catered to your specific setup ( with not even enough information) so is a bit sad you posted (highjacked) this general post.

Would have been more appropriate to have a separate post asking for someone to build you a script ,as you mention you have no idea about programming, to your specific needs and compensate the maker for it. (BTW you are not the only one )

What input? the active one, a specific one ? .......

Quote:

a transition to a black input or a Fade to black, at multiple times or one of these (400/760/1000) ? ..........

Quote:
Does this script affect the active input?

No , it checks the active input until you apply an action based on that

Scripts basically mimic what one would do manually (with some extra possibilities) so one first have to have that sorted out (described) !

Probably better to have posted this in a separate post rather then imbedded in a tips and hints post

Do you have an idea on how this could work with no functions related to social selection etc besides manually selecting and approving a post , unless you automate update of a social title?
vMix social is a separate app that sends selections to a webpage and consequentially to a title. Want to scrape the info from the webpage ?
btw , random does not exclude duplicates

Sorry, maybe my approach is not entirely correct. I was just looking for a universal script that could be adapted for my task.
All the same, I will sign what is needed.
At the active input, the transition to blackout (there is a separate input for this) should occur 400/760/1000 ms before the end.

Mix Transition triggering play/pause of its inputs
call with shortcut

Code:
dim MixNumber as string = "2"  'Mix input number (2,3 or 4)
dim delay as integer = 500 'preferable duration of transition
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(API.XML())

'Get input #'s of the Mix preview and active
dim IsPreview as string= (x.SelectSingleNode("//mix[@number='" & MixNumber & "']/preview").Innertext)
dim IsActive as string= (x.SelectSingleNode("//mix[@number='" & MixNumber & "']/active").Innertext)

API.Function("Play",Input:=IsPreview)      'if not continuous playing
'API.Function("AudioOn",Input:=IsPreview)  'if not audio always on
API.Function("SetVolumeFade",Input:=IsPreview,Value:="100," & CStr(delay))
API.Function("SetVolumeFade",Input:=IsActive ,Value:="50," & CStr(delay))

API.Function("Fade",Input:=0,Mix:=CInt(MixNumber)-1)
sleep(delay) 

'API.Function("AudioOff",Input:=IsActive ) 'if not audio always on
API.Function("Pause",Input:=IsActive )     'if not continuous playing

Thanks @doggy for the triggertime scripting!

I am also looking to make the triggertime a datasource lookup value. Probably staring right in front of me, but haven't found anything that works as of yet.

triggertime = (DataSource,Table,Column,Row-can be "selected" or assigned) I am currently referencing an excel spreadsheet.

or

triggertime= the text string in an input

Can't directly refer to a datasource for a value but can relay it through a title

triggertime = Input.Find("NameOfTitle").Text("Headline.Text")

for example

Works like a charm! Using same construct, I am also looking at being able to change the value of the countdown clock, but not getting the same result

Here' what I'm attempting to do

Function=ChangeCountdown&Value=Input.Find("cueclock.gtzip"). Text("CueClock.Text")&Input=Countdown Clock
Function=StartCountdown&Input=Countdown Clock

You need to set the countdown , change applies while it is running or paused with a time below the set time ( a good idea is to test the functions as shortcut first to see the differences as in when and how to use each )


Also do not mix webscripting and vb.net scripting in one script!

Most examples here are vb.net scripting (and using API calls)

Thanks for yet another quick reply! I have the a clock script fully functional using a time written into the script, but I wondering how can set it using some sort of find or lookup value that's in the same excel worksheet row as the earlier trigger time challenge I presented you?

LOL - yeah, I was mixing some scripting :-> !!


UPDATE: Wrote in as a separate script and works wonderfully! Thanks @doggy for the direction!

API.Function("StopCountdown",Input:="INPUT")
dim clockstart as string= Input.Find("clock.gtzip").Text("Clock.Text")
API.Function("SetCountdown",Input:="INPUT",Value:=clockstart)
API.Function("StartCountdown",Input:="INPUT")

They say you're supposed to have the full .NET API available so you should be able to open the spreadsheet as an XML file (assuming you are using the XML form of the Excel spreadsheet) and then build a query to get the contents of the cell you are looking for.

sorry, but your script is a heck of a mess... :-)

So, I have a number of inputs designed to acomodate vmixcall inputs. Depending on the session, I use diferent calls so I have a script for each session. Because the script is big, I'll show the example for the first 2 layout inputs.

<code>
dim inputn as integer = 24

for n as integer = 24 to 47

dim layer1 as integer = 1

for i as integer = 1 to 10
API.Function("LayerOn",Input:=inputn,Value:=layer1)
layer1 = layer1 + 1
next

inputn = inputn + 1
Sleep(200)
next
<code>


first get some order in your for loops (example)
Code:

for inp as Integer = 1 to 3
   for lay as Integer = 1 to 3
     Api.Function("LayerOn", Input:= inp, Value:=lay)
   next
next

will
OvrlayOn Input Layer
1 1
2 2
3 3 (and so on depending on the defined Range)

dim moderador as integer = 1 'refer call for the moderator
dim oradora as integer = 2 'refer call for the first speaker
dim oradorb as integer = 3 'refer call for the second speaker

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="24",Value:="2,"&moderador)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="2,"&moderador)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="3,"&oradora)

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="4,"&oradorb)

</code>

With the code like this I have a syntax error.
I guess the missing space between & and variable
you could (example)
Code:

Dim mod() as Integer = {1,1,2,3} 'you could arrange as many "numbers" you like, just do more steps as "i"
Dim in() as Integer = {24,25,25,25} 'and keep each array filled with the same "item count"!!
Dim lay() as Integer = {2,2,3,4}

for i as Integer = 0 to 3 '4 steps!
   Api.Function("SetLayer", Input:= in(i), Value:=lay(i), mod(i))
next 


The current script I use works but I have to go througth each line individualy:

<code>
API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="24",Value:="2,1")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="2,1")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="3,2")

API.Function("SetLayer",Input:="25",Value:="4,3")
</code>



Sorry for the long text. I hope it helps other folks also. Thanks :)

You can not. mapping is done manually in the title editor ( but you can halfway automate it by using the same Text field names as the column headers of your data source.)
Begs the question WHY ? Use case example ?


One can create an external app to make your own datasource reading and mapping if really needed
