Expose output as datasource (i.e. for use with multiple vMix instances)

[ThomasMout]

Hi, I love the software you created! In my setup we have a laptop dedicated for showing some titles on a screen in a studio. But all videos are played on a different livestream pc. It would be great if we could use this software as a datasource. If that's possible any pc on the network could use data in custom titles.

Hi Thomas

Vinproma supports to send vMix commands to other vMix instances to update titles here. It ensures the lowest latency possible.

Looking at your request - It can be made possible. I have it almost ready to be shipped. However notice that there will be a delay in the data seen on the datasource end, since it travels from the source (vMix instance running video) -> data pulled by vinproma -> data pulled by datasource listener (such as other pc).

I have made it ready for JSON output. Which format would you prefer? JSON? And what data is crusial in your situation? The remaining time formatted 'MM:SS / MM:SS'?

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the quick response!

The delay won't be a problem since it's only a indication for the presentors.

A JSON output would be great, especially if it's an array. Then it can be used as a datasource in vMix.

The format I use at the moment is only the remaining time 'MM:SS'. Maybe it would be nice to have multiple choices like the 'MM:SS / MM:SS / MM:SS' as used on the webpages, 'MM:SS / MM:SS' as you described in your comment and 'MM:SS' as I currently use.

Hi Thomas

Just a quick update. I am working on a major refactor on the app, including fixes for this issue. I expect to have it released in the end of this week. Stay tuned

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the update. My next event is on saturday the 20th, so if the release is by the end of this week I will have enough time to test it.

Hi! Does the JOSN output work?
