image path from Google datasheet

Hi,
I want to get a link to a local image from a datasheet.
When it comes to simple data for xaml overlays it's easy.
But how do I get a specific image to show on the screen when necessary?
My datasheet is constructed as follows
COL1
title
D:\image.jpg
I tried the 'DataSourceSelectRow' function first:
Function=DataSourceSelectRow&Value=Googlesheet,Table,1
where '1' is the first row
Then I want to add the file defined in the first row as an input, but there's an error
Function=AddInput&Value=Image|
Vmix doesn't know the path.
How can I pass this path from one function to another
Witold

Data sources are used in conjunction with titles !!! if you want to use that data in another function you will have to read it from a title ( used as variable transfer) with a script or directly from the data file with a script But why even bother and not used a GT title as input with an image embedded in it then it will instantly show the image based on your datasource row selection Adding an input each time one just wants to show an image is pushing it

ok, that's what I thought and it solves the problem with images. I wanted to do a similar thing with videos (store their names in Google sheet and retrieve when necessary instead of uploading all of them at once) but GT tiles will not be handy in this case. Am I right?

Upload ? to where ? Seems currently you are trying to take a detour Maybe checkout the LIST input just to keep it simple! Quote:but GT tiles will not be handy in this case. Am I right? Euch, anyone knows how to play a video in a title ?

I'm trying to find the simplest and most effective solution. Whatever it means. I could upload/add 20 video files separately or to a list. But then I need them to be played at random e.g. file #1, then #5 and #7 from the list. My idea is to automate it and storing all links in a datasheet seemed reasonable. Maybe I just don't know how to tackle it. Quote:Euch, anyone knows how to play a video in a title ? no neeed to be prickly, though.
