I have a script that loops until the designated starting time then proceeds on to start a stream. Presently the starting time is hard coded as a string.
I would like to be able to enter the desired starting time as the script starts. How do you call up an inputbox at runtime?

But im running this script https://github.com/rse/v.../master/recording-log.vb that when we set a dynamic value to "recording-marker-custom" it opens a dialog and you can write anything. I dont know if you can take this part of code and combine it for your needs. Also there is a thread for scripting https://forums.vmix.com/...ng-for-Dummies#post70735 maybe for take ideas.

I have used titles to store variables and share that data between scripts. But it may not be possible to do what I'd like. What I want to do is start a script and have it ask the user the desired Start time. I know the script can enter data into the title but can the user input data into the script after it has been started?

So if this is not possible to do you can do a workaround with using bitfocus companion triggers or a 3rd party scheduler program for vmix that will do the action for streaming or start a script directly or via some other input
