Hi all,

I explain quickly the scenario and what I want to get. I have 1 camera input covering a table tennis that will have 8 matches, 1 followed by another and so on. There is a xml data file generated by the match Official tablet throught the results system. I can always that xml file.

Inside that xml there is a field called Status, and field can have limited possibilities:

Status=Scheduled
Status=Running
Status=Official

I want to be able to script vMix so it can constantly refresh the reading of the data and mix in and out between 3 graphics depending on what the Status field is:

-If Status=Scheduled then check if any graphic is on air. If so and is Graphci1, do nothing. if yes and different than Graphic1 then clear
it and mix in Graphic1
-If Status=Running then check if any graphic is on air. If so and is Graphci2, do nothing. if yes and different than Graphic2 then clear it
and mix in Graphic2
-If Status=Official then check if any graphic is on air. If so and is Graphci3, do nothing. if yes and different than Graphic3 then clear it
and mix in Graphic3


I am not a programmer but I have been told this should be possible and asking in this forum could help me on how to get it done.

Any idea, guidance or any kind of help would be super appreciate it!!!

Thanks a lot in advance

While a vMix script can check an xml directty its much easier to use the XML as a datasource linked to a title which will autoupdate on changes in the XML source.
The let the script read that value from the title to do the logic

there are tutorials on how to use a datasource
Also check on the "scripting for dummies"post in this forum on how to retrieve the value from the title and add your logic

Keep the logic simple:
retrieve stautus
retrieve which graphics is active
if status = Scheduled and graphics not equals Graphics1 then dislay Graphics1
elseif status = Running and graphics not equals Graphics2 then display Graphics2
elseif status = Official and graphics not equals Graphics3 then display Graphics3

or use Do Case logic
