I have one suggestion or feature request to make... There's been a lot of talk about video "remaining time" lately? Do you think it's possible for UTC to provide this information from the API as a variable in order to use in a text field in UTC (thus vMix)?
I know it's possible to do this by parsing the API's XML in a script.

Something like

if "pgm-input-type" = "video" then
set rem-time = {rem-time}
end if

I know I have already asked you about defining and using variables in UTC and you told me it's complicated, but I still think this would open a lot of new doors to UTC. And be a perfect complement for new "conditions" features...

@DWAM, I just thought "why not make it opensource")
UTC isn't take values from vMix at realtime. It should download new state, deserialize it, maybe update active states. It depends on network speed, and can't make a lot of requests (every 1/2 second or often) to update production clock.
Making global scope variables can speed down UTC (it is not very fast :-))

@JAIRODJ, I think it possible

We've just started to use vMix and the UTC.
Our workflow involves using incoming streams as inputs.
Does anyone have any experience with these inputs causing the UTC to fail/crash?
If the UTC is running before the inputs are established it crashes right away.
If they are up and running then the UTC will start up with the red/offline indicator and even change to green/update state but will not establish contact.
We are setting up the stream inputs using the "Stream" input and using the VLC player plugin as this seems to be the only option that plays smoothly.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks @elgarf for the quick reply.

I'll fix it tomorrow)

We've installed the newer version and so far it hasn't crashed.
The one we were using was installed about 3-4 weeks ago (sorry, I deleted it after seeing that it was older and forgot to write down the date and version info)
We'll keep trying it out and let you know if it happens again.
We're still building our workflow and getting to know the possibilities with vMix but what we've seen so far is great.
Thanks so much for your help.
Really a great tool to make using vMix graphics much more easy to use. I don't know how it would be done otherwise :)

@JAIRODJ, I've added scheduling at days of week (please check your clock widget, because for compatibility this info stored in milliseconds property).
And now active state buttons updates if vMix state really changed, which help use less processor time.

First post.

@elgarf
Thanks for that great contribution and give solution to our orders.
The ideas arise from the needs, and little by little they are coming out to suggest the implementes in the application.
Good day.

Hey Guys,
i think I found a bug in utc GUID version.
First I updated an existimg preset in vmix (which already worked with utc).

Then I added 2 new Inputs
1: new Input from production clock
2: virtual input with multiview (including production clock input)

Started UtC and loaded existimg vmc file, state tally didn't switch to green but stayed yellow all the time.

Then I replicated the vmix preset one by one, with blank utc open. Stayed green until I created the production clock input --> utc crashed

Do you think you can fix this bug ?

Thanks

Marc

Here´s the log file.

As soon as I create an Input of Production Clock (vmix 20.0.0.30) and try to update State UTC crashes...

Downloaded GUID Version... should I go with conditions?
