Event when a source becomes visible #92

Closed paul-lrr closed 7 years ago

paul-lrr commented 8 years ago

Is there an event that fires when a source becomes visible (or has been hidden)? Theoretically, I guess it would be possible by checking the source's isVisible property when the SetVolume() event fires (since that event is sent when the source is shown/hidden), but obviously that is a pretty hacky solution :smile:

My particular use case is making a video file start playing when it becomes visible. Xsplit's built in video source can start a video when the scene loads, but doesn't seem to be able to wait until a video is shown before playing (If the video is hidden when a scene loads, it will still start playing in the background)

Yeah, that would be a very hacky solution, and might change in the future :) For many global level calls such as SetVolume or SourcesListHighlight, we either stub it out to suppress errors (for the ones not handled yet) or wrap them through event emitters (SourcesListHighlight is now an event emitted by the only window that can receive that call, which is the ExtensionWindow.)

At the moment I think you can go with your solution, but we will definitely explore the feasibility of events fired for any item property change. At the very least, we'll need changes in XSplit itself to accommodate such a feature.

Closing this item as duplicate since the resolution would be a more general one, which will be addressed in the earlier referenced issue, #104
