Hello,
I am regularly using Vmix to livestream videogames tournaments.
We always do two livestreams, one in french and one in english.
Our setup is quite simple : One computer with Vmix mixes cameras and games, streams it with french commentary. We also output the feed on External 2 so the second livestream get the feed via External and just need 2 captures cards, one from the main feed and one for the english commentators.
To prevent the english stream displaying french commentators, we use external 2 because you can switch the External 2 source with triggers, which prevent from showing french commentators on the english stream and it's really convenient !

But today, i noticed that we you use a shortcut with the command "ActiveInput", the External 2 trigger i usually setup doesn't work. Sadly i didn't find a way to change that. Do you think it would be possible to make it please ?
Thank you and have a great day
Best regards
Valentin

Salut Valentin

pas sûr d'avoir tout bien compris / Not sure I understood everything ;o)

The function to use for external2 is SetOutputExternal2

Check this post where I show how to design an independant switcher for external2. Might interest you for your use cases

My problem is actually quite simple : the trigger SetOutputExternal2 doesn't work when you use a ActiveInput shortcut to switch directly to a particular input.
It only work when you use transitions (Cut, Fade, Stinger)

Thanks for the link, however for my particular case, the guy managing the 2nd stream is not good enough yet for mixing himself :)
