Hi I have a play list of items. I want to overlay an input every time that one of specific item plays in my list and if that one is not play turn the overlay off. I'm not good at scripting but I used the blow code: Code:dim xml as string = API.XML()
dim GetInputNumber as string = ""
dim GetInputName as string = ""
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
x.loadxml(xml)
GetInputNumber = (x.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/active").InnerText)
GetInputName = (x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& GetInputNumber &"']/@title").Value)
do while true
if GetInputName = "List - B" then
sleep (500)
API.Function("OverlayInput1In", Input:="2")
else
API.Function("OverlayInput1out")
end if
sleep (500)
loop
My problem is this code works one time and not work every time But my playlist is in the loop.

GetInputName is never (able) to change within the loop ie the IF has always the same result !

It was given in the response. your testing for a change but the change is not possible as the variable to check is not updated within the loop so it wil never change the the outcome within the loop Correct the logic of the script

dim xml as string = ""
dim GetInputNumber as string = ""
dim GetInputName as string = ""
dim x as new system.xml.xmldocument
do while true
xml = API.XML() ' Fetch the current XML each time inside the loop
x.loadxml(xml)
GetInputNumber = x.SelectSingleNode("/vmix/active").InnerText
GetInputName = x.SelectSingleNode("//input[@number='"& GetInputNumber &"']/@title").Value
if GetInputName = "List - B" then
API.Function("OverlayInput1In", Input:="2")
else
API.Function("OverlayInput1Out")
end if
sleep(500) ' You can adjust this sleep if needed
loop

can you give me a true logic based on my need Well you will have to , at least the logic of your script to get the desired intent ! Advice is to study how to programm , is only way to learn for future , instead of relying on a fixed answer especially a basic one like this (Google is a good friend) I repeat , the solution was given , now Nikosman88 gave you the written solution , hope you will see that the provious answer were correct regarding the logic Compare Yours and his and learn.

First think how to do it and if you dont know,search. This is also how i work. For example if you didnt have the most script and go to chatgpt and ask from 0 to do it,it will fail.
