I know that per the spec of vMix, intputs do not automatically play in anything other than the main mix.
However, I need this to happen. I've tried using a script unsuccesfully:
API.Function("Restart",Input:=0, Mix:=1)
API.Function("Play",Input:=0, Mix:=1)
API.Function("Cut",Input:=0, Mix:=1)
When I do this, the only line that actually executes is the last one.. The Restart and Play are ignored.
Any ideas for a workaround? I was thinking if maybe there's a way to find the reference to the input in the preview and then start it directly?
IE:
dim MyInput = Input.Find("Preview of Mix2)
API.Function("Play",MyInput)
Would something like that work?

OK I've come up with this as a solution. It works but it seems REALLY clunky. Is there a better way? Quote:'Get preview input
dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
dim mix = x.SelectNodes("//mix")
dim previewInput = mix(0).ChildNodes(0).InnerXml
Api.Function("Restart", previewInput)
sleep(100) 'prevents screen flash
Api.Function("Play", previewInput)
API.Function("Cut",Input:=0, Mix:=1)

There is no way around it , Restart and play has to be instructed on the inputs themselves

But there really should be a way to enable it if you know you want to do that. Making a work around turned 3 lines of code into 9. It works. Not pretty, but it's functional at least
