Don't know if it is a bug or just a problem.

When adding a shortcut "MIDIControlChange" the value input for that shortcut disappear from the form.

So, if I add midi shortcuts from a pad using "MIDIControlChange" I am not able to add value for the Function.

New update (16.0.0.62) has been uploaded to the same download link

http://www.vmixhd.com/download/vmix16preview.exe

Fixes:

* Fixed issues when using API decimal places in some language regions.
Decimal places will now need to use . when using the API (1.5 instead of 1,5)
* Fixed error when using MoveSelectedOutPoint when no OutPoint has yet been set. Now will just do nothing.
* Fixed keyframe frequency when streaming with FFMPEG set to 2 seconds regardless of settings in Quality.
* Fixed compressor effect on Master audio not being heard in Headphones

v16 installer does not successfully shutdown Skype during install. Have confirmed this on a number of machines with different O/Ses. Workaround: shutdown Skype manually

I think there is a bug in the new feature to adress Inputs by name in the API

In the first post Martin wrote:
"Shortcuts can now optionally be assigned by Number instead of moving with a particular input"
Not sure what that means.

And:
"API now supports selecting inputs by Name e.g Input=myvideo.mp4"

Tried that, but seems not to work. Eg:
http://192.168.1.100:8088/API/?Function=SetOutputFullscreen&Value=Input&Input=iStock_000000380668XSmall.jpg
only result I get is that the Output is set to nothing at all...

Also tried with Fade, does not work either.

Hi Richard,

SetOutputFullscreen works only by number to match the dropdown menus.
For Fade, it should work fine, make sure the latest vMix 16 preview is installed as a bug was fixed a couple of updates below.

Thanks Martin,
Updated to 16.0.0.62 and Fade by name worked just fine.
But I really do not understand why name should not be possible for SetOutputFullscreen.
I mean, in what way do the fact that the dropdown still only displays the Input number hinders the use of the Input's name in the API?

Hello Martin,

Found and issue when using the Shortcuts using web controller.

Programmed Midi Controller key to control a function, works with midi controller no problem,
but when I use the web interface touching the same shortcut, get different function happening.

Looks like web interface is trying to send multiple commands at the same time to do multiple functions.

Keep up the good work, can wait to have more Midi feedback functions available to control lights on controller.

Would also be nice to have the ability to separate shortcuts into several sections in multiple windows/webpages.
To have multiple operators do different functions without using same computer...

Eg. separate windows/webpages for shortcuts

1 for controlling scoreboard ...
1 for controlling media files ...
1 for controlling titles

etc...

Using

Windows 10
VMix 16.0.0.63
Behringer CMD-LC1 midi Controller
Behringer Q1024USB mixer

Martin. The defualt keyboard shortcut behaviour seems to have dissapered from v16. i.e A=cut input 1, S=Cut Input2 etc. Can you have a look and confirm. I use this behaviour all the time in v15 and would like it to continue to be offerred. Andrew

The default keyboard shortcuts are now available under Templates in Settings -> Shortcuts
Select Default Keyboard then select Apply to add them

It's done for performance and reliability reasons.
When setting Fullscreen/External to a particular input, vMix needs to look up that input every frame.
If the input was selected by name, it would have to search through the inputs every frame, and with large setups
this could have a significant performance penalty.
If it only has to look up by number (index) no searching is needed.

The alternative would be to synchronise the name with the index, but this adds complexity and would require a lot of testing to work reliably.
Testing that would be better spent on features that the majority of users will benefit from.

Regards,

Martin

Thanks. OK. That works. However when applying them you blow away any custom shortcuts you may have configured. Do these default templates come in as Global or Local shortcuts? Is there a way to load them in either?

This new method makes the "Web Controller" VERY busy. Previously it only displayed customised shortcuts. Now, everything in the template. Perhaps a Flag to display the shortcut in the controller or not?


On another matter can I point you to this FR for consideration at some stage? http://forums.vmix.com.a....aspx?g=posts&t=3846

Thanks

Changes:

* Fixed some bugs with tally lights when adding new inputs

* Added checkbox to hide shortcuts from Web Controller. (Templates will now also be hidden by default)
* Fixed Key/Fill bug where some graphics cards would lead to semi-transparent sections that should be opaque.

This is awesome, and makes it easier for our producer to output titles with custom text! But I am having a minor issue with this script:

Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Text("Navn") = "Navnesen"
Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Text("tittel") = "tittelsen"
Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Function("Overlay2")

I have made two versions of it. Only difference is the content of the texts. I`ve also assigned dedicated keyboard-shortcuts. My issue is that the text changes when overlay triggers. Is it possible to add a "wait" function before it triggers the overlay? That way it does not change on output..

Documentation and examples are coming soon, but for now some quick examples:

Quote:
Input("Virtual Input").Function("Cut")
Input("scorebug.xaml").Text = "Doing Something"

Add a line before the function with Sleep(500)
This will pause for half a second before showing the overlay, giving the text field time to update

Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Text("Navn") = "Navnesen"
Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Text("tittel") = "tittelsen"
Sleep(500)
Input("Stream_Super.xaml").Function("Overlay2")

Overlay2 isn't a valid function, I think you might mean OverlayInput2In

Thanks, Amazing timing.

X-Keys.
We have been using a MIDI controller - APC-40 (now a MK2) which works very well, but the directors do NOT like the keys.

They really want to use the X-Keys panels that we have here.
Questions-

It seems that the X-keys use the standard "keyboard" shortcuts, is that true?
If so then that may be an issue in the fact that the replay operator is using the keyboard. (especially since it seems that I cannot use CTRL-Shift-alt keyboard commands. If I could just send these I think it would work)

Is there another direct way? The beauty of MIDI is that it is disconnected from the HID device of Windows for dedicated director control.

Is there any more info I can get about X-key usage? They really want to use it.

Thanks a lot,
Steve
