I tried this but it didn't work I must be doing something wrong. I added the code and gave it to correct name

I found the Timecode Reader a bit buggy and needed to be opened in sequence and kept failing switching between videos. vMix Input Progress Monitor App looks promising but doesn't have a simple time remaining as an output.

Finally figured out how to get this script working which was posted elsewhere:

I made a Video player time left title display that you can add on top of the Clock source by using the Multiview to stack upon.

While the code is not 100% perfect yet and only displays MM;SS But it gives you some idea and it's workable.

Till 60 seconds it's green, Turns then orange, and the last 10 seconds it's red.

Code:
' Checking time left of active running video and display this as an title. 
' and do some stuff at certain time remaining

dim position as string = ""
dim duration as string = ""
dim activeinput as string = ""
dim Timeleft as double = 0
dim triggertime as integer = 10      '10 seconds before end
dim triggerduration as integer = 2000   'fade duration, could be different than trigger

do while true

   dim xml as string = API.XML()
   dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
   x.loadxml(xml)

activeinput = (x.SelectSingleNode("//active").InnerText)
duration = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@duration").Value)
position = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& activeinput &"']/@position").Value)

Timeleft= Double.Parse(duration)-Double.Parse(position)

Timeleft = Timeleft / 100

dim Timingleft as integer = CInt(Timeleft)
Timingleft = Timingleft / 10

dim Minutes as integer = Timingleft \ 60
dim Seconds as integer = Timingleft Mod 60

'used at debugging stage
  ' console.writeline(Timingleft)
  ' console.writeline(Seconds)

dim ThisTime as string 
ThisTime = Minutes.ToString("00") + ":" + Seconds.ToString("00")


if Timingleft < 60
   'put a response in a title and change color accordingly
  
    API.Function("SetText",Input:="Text Middle Centre Outline.gtzip",SelectedIndex:="0" ,Value:=Timingleft) ' Value:=":", Value:=Seconds)
   
    if Timingleft < 30 
       API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Text Middle Centre Outline.gtzip",Value:="red")
    else
       API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Text Middle Centre Outline.gtzip",Value:="orange")
    end if  
else
    API.Function("SetText",Input:="Text Middle Centre Outline.gtzip",SelectedIndex:="0" ,Value:=ThisTime)
    API.Function("SetTextColour",Input:="Text Middle Centre Outline.gtzip",Value:="green")
 end if


sleep(50)
Loop


Thanks doggy, never wanted to be 'that guy' that can't search the forum first. I did a bunch of google and YouTube searching before I came to the forums and couldn't find anything other than video countdowns.
