Input
Input can be used to specify the Input in one of three ways:
1. By number starting from 1.
0 can be used for Preview and -1 for Active.
2. By name. (note that it is case sensitive, and requires the full title name including spaces)
3. A GUID can be used to specify an exact input. The GUID can be found from the "Key" attribute in the
XML.
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=Fade&Duration=1000&Input=
877bb3e7-58bd-46a1-85ce-0d673aec6bf5
SelectedName
When using Title or XAML inputs, SelectedName can be used to specify the name of the text field to
modify.
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetText&Input=
877bb3e7-58bd-46a1-85ce-
0d673aec6bf5
&SelectedName=Headline&Value=Hello
When using GT titles, the name should include ".Text" at the end for text fields and ".Source" at the end for
images or rectangles with brush images.
For reference, these full names are displayed in the Title Editor built into vMix.
For example:
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetText&Input=
877bb3e7-58bd-46a1-85ce-
0d673aec6bf5
&SelectedName=Headline.Text&Value=Hello
http://127.0.0.1:8088/API/?Function=SetImage&Input=
