What problem does it solve? Automating vMix live video production requires deep knowledge of its HTTP API, TCP API, and VB.NET scripting quirks, and mistakes like unclosed connections or missing .Text suffixes silently break productions. This Skill provides production-tested scripts, configuration templates, and documented gotchas so automation works reliably. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Helper Scripts: Five CLI tools for building recipes from run-of-show JSON, validating recipe schemas, health-checking vMix connectivity, creating inputs, and analyzing VBScript execution logs. - Configuration Templates: Ready-to-use vMix connection JSON, production presets YAML, and a VBScript config template following best practices. - Critical Gotchas Documentation: 25+ documented VBScript pitfalls (no Function/Sub blocks, .NET methods instead of VB6 functions, explicit loop variable types, connection cleanup) with solutions. - Use Case: Before a weekly broadcast, run the health check to verify vMix connectivity, build a recipe from the show rundown, validate it in strict mode, create all inputs via CLI, then analyze logs after the show to catch errors. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a vMix health check against your studio host and then build a validated automation recipe from your run-of-show JSON file.
