Hi,

I'm quite new and I would like to show in a single video stream some webcam images I receive on an ftp folder.
Every hour each image is overwritten by the new snapshot coming from the remote webcam.

I created a playlist and added each image as input, but images are still the one I added on the first setting.
Is there a way to force VMix to read the real content of the file?


Thanks!!

I found a tricky way to solve, maybe can be useful to anybody else so I'll share it.

I noticed that if I overwrite the file using copy and paste from another location, VMix notice the image update, and show the new version.
So I wrote a simple script that copy my image on a new file, delete the original and then rename the copy giving the original name.

It seems to work, and for me it's enough.

Anyway, if somebody has a cleaner way to get it done, I would love to adopt it!

Thank you!
