Really impressive list of useful features, will do some tests. Reported an error on WinXp after installing over old vMix (no restart) that DirectX is not found. On Win7 everything is working fine so far.

The HTTP interface looks promising, I hope there is a way to simulate HTTP requests made by your web page and use them in my application to control vMix directly and autmatically (#67 http://forums.vmix.com.a...ts&m=1751#post1751). Also it would be good to have a confirmation that last action has been sent, perhaps you could display the active input name on web page or (better for me) provide a HTTP request that can be used to get it? Therefore I can regulalry query this request to see which input is active.

Ok, but do you see any problems I could come across if using HTTP protocol as API to select the input? The thing is we have to set up an installation now and I have to decide to buy vMix or a hardware switcher.

Unable to register this version using my serial number. Reports already registered to another computer. Was able to use 60 day trial.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Hi Martin,

So where is the link to the new version that fixes the XP Direct Show issue?

Installed Vmix from file on my flash drive. I entered my registration info into Vmix with my flash drive connected to the computer. When I remove the flash drive and try to run Vmix, it reports it is currently associated with another machine and does not load. If I plug the flash drive back in, Vmix loads OK.

Please advise!

Thanks.

I also have the same error.

Hi Carlton,

Could you provide some information on what the two inputs are that you are using?
There is an option in v3 that automatically restarts the video before switching, are you using that option at all?

Thanks,

Martin

Thanks for pointing out the bug. v3 Test is treating cameras like videos by mistake causing it to try and pause
the camera when auto pause is enabled. The workaround for now is to disable the auto pause feature.

This and any other bugs reported in this thread will be fixed for the public v3 release due soon.
