vMix Video timer #233

Closed LauHaslund closed 8 months ago

LauHaslund commented 8 months ago

The video timer feedback function doesn't show the remaining time of a vMix video in the new version of companion. It does change textcolor when the remaining time is less than 10 sec, but no timecode as it was in version 2.4.2.

Companion version 3.1.1 vMix 26.0.0.38

Cheers Lau Haslund

It's an intentional change for feedbacks in v3 to not change text on a button.

Instead you can use the appropriate instance variable, eg $(vmix:input_X_remaining), $(vmix:input_X_remaining_ss), $(vmix:input_X_remaining_ss.ms), $(vmix:input_X_remaining_mm:ss), or $(vmix:input_X_remaining_mm:ss.ms). Where X is the inputs Name, Number, or GUID. This means that not only can you display the time remaining on a button but you can also use it as an input to another action/feedback.
