I have set up a DataSource to add a lower 3rd text to a broadcast style setup.

Each time the lower 3rd message changes(an input by us), I can WriteDuration... with the text message "Lower 3d". Works great.

However, wanting to find out if possible that rather than "Lower 3rd" in the log file, I would like to have the line of text from the DataSource logged.

WriteDuration.jpg (68kb) downloaded 0 time(s).Is this possible? Thanks,

Thanks, but not a coder so writing the API function is not possible for me.

Is there perhaps another way to do this?

Thanks

You mentioned you have setup a datasource so assume it is linked to the title to update the title content based on the row selected in the datasource
This means there is no use for the SetText function . Even so the function is not even putting content in the title as it has no value specified to do so so doesnt do a thing

In your write duration you mantion the use of a variable "test" but i also contains nothing as you didnt put one in somewhere

Webscripting can be used for the vMix functions but not to set and use variables (vb.net )

So as mentioned before
- manually or autofill the title text (datasource)
- call a script when triggering the Overlay of the title (or by using a sortcut calling the script
- use the script i posted before to be called (adjust the name of the title and its textfield



Above script when called will read the content of the textfield in your title and write it to the log next to the timestamp in the logfile
This is the most bassic version as it does not check if a recording is actually taking place , hence make sure you are recording to perform the script ( else it is useless obviously)

one can also run the script inthe script settings tab manually( when you saved the script)
