Hi all,

I've been using vMix for streaming to Twitch for years now, and it didn't really dawn on me until now that as far as I can tell, the vMix statistics page doesn't show any info about drops if the network has issues. I work with lots of people who primarily use OBS, which does have that and is useful for the sake of alerting IT at events how big of an issue the network is being, especially if I wind up looking away when the Streaming button turns yellow.

(OBS example)
OBS Statistics

I know that there's the View Status button, but as far as I can see it is mostly just a data dump of chunks of metadata (current bitrate, frame rate, how long the stream's been up, etc). I was wondering if there's a more useful spot to look, or if there's some way I can add the Streaming statistics to the Statistics box. Just want to make sure I'm not, like, missing something.

This is one feature that I miss from OBS. The only place I have found this information on VMix is in the streaming log files which are in C:\ProgramData\vMix\streaming on my computer.

I don't know of a way to view this in realtime while streaming but if you had problems it can be useful to go back to, to see what happened. It would be a useful addition to the streaming status information on vmix.

You`re right. The info is there. So one can make an external program-form that will read this txt file and appear in a form like page the stats and also do an action if too much frames drop. Thankfully we are at 2025 so you gave me the idea to use the technology for a program like this!!
