I run an app that pushes stats to an XML file. I don’t have any control over what the app is pushing or interpreting. I’m hoping I can make changes with a supplemental XML acting as a translator.

Basically if I have a text field that receives numeric data, how can I tell it to show a ‘0’ (zero) when that field hasn’t yet received data?

Similarly, if I want to append a data text field with some extra text/string, how do I do that without having to place a static text field next to it?

Thanks

Regarding your second question:

See https://www.vmix.com/hel...ourcesTitleMapping.html:

'Format: This option can be used to add additional text to the data, for example "Name: {0}" will output the data as "Name: Bob"'


First question, probably possible via scripting, if your vMix version allows it, for example:

In GT Title, hide the title field that is mapped to the datasource and add a (visible) static title field.

Then, via scripting:
- Read the content of the hidden and mapped title field.
- If empty, write a '0' to the visible title field, if not write the content of the hidden title field to it.
