Requirements

• Voicemeeter

Use

• D: Set log level 0=TRACE, 1=DEBUG, 2=INFO, 3=WARN, 4=ERROR, 5=FATAL

API Commands

• Commands starting with ! will be toggled, use it with boolean parameters.

• All other commands with get a value.

Examples:

Launch basic GUI, set log level to INFO, Toggle Strip 0 Mute, then print its new value

Launch banana GUI, set log level to DEBUG, set Strip 0 label to podmic then print Strip 2 label

./vmrcli.exe -kbanana -D1 strip[0].label=podmic strip[2].label

Interactive Mode

Running the following command in Powershell:

./vmrcli.exe -i

Will open an interactive prompt:

Interactive mode enabled. Enter 'Q' to exit.
>>

API commands follow the same rules as listed above. Entering Q or q will exit the program.

Script files

Scripts can be loaded from text files, for example in Powershell:

./vmrcli.exe -D1 $(Get-Content .\example_commands.txt)

Build

Run the included makefile with GNU Make.

By default the log.c module is built with coloured logging enabled. To disable this you can override the LOG_USE_COLOR variable, for example:

make LOG_USE_COLOR=no
