vMix Bible Reference with BibleShow

hey guys this is richard um i uh was finding that there were a few questions on how different um uh churches do their bible verses um i when i first started with vmix or at least we um as church started with vmix um i didn't know a whole lot about it and was creating uh inputs for every [Music] uh a verse or at least multiple verses and it wasn't very it was kind of cumbersome and it wasn't didn't really flow well and um i kind of lost track quite easily and there was a lot of human error in copyright or not copyright copy and paste and uh didn't paste the right voices or the specified bible version anyway come to find out that vmix can do data sources so with the data source you specify a data source or a database if you will it's it can be a file it can be multiple files xml excel csv etc with that and you can go to pretty much any title any anything mostly titles and you can inject that data into titles and it can atomically update those titles with the information if the software allows well if the xml or excel whatever you're using for the data source allows real-time update such as excel uh just saving you control s or um anyway uh found that i found out there was a uh peace software called bible show on the into webs um i'm not 100 sure how this is free um because i know that you have to pay for a version different version of the bibles like nasb and uh new king james version i believe and uh those because of copyright um anyway i've heard multiple other people use bible show but i didn't really see any how-to videos on implementing it into vmix anyway so i looked at survival show and found out it can output to xml um it has a vmix logo here just so that i think the programmer just talked with vmix and feel like hey you can do this and cool let's put our logo on in your program anyway um what that will do it will create a xml um so when you go through all the different verses in the browser it it won't actually updates the xml file in real time with all the strings so it has reference titus2929 which we're in now titus 2 9 and then i uh appended the nasb because that's i guess you're supposed to um at least put the how what what version of bible you're reading from and then it spits out scripture uh image path if there is an image um i believe that is kind of tied with the standard output of the display window and i can show you that that would be like this and i believe that would just spit out this background gives you the book name book title book abbreviation chapter number verse number and so on um with that we have that listed as an xml so what we can go into vmix i'm actually going to create a new input so well after i create xml data command data source so um i already created one so i will just mostly create a new one but not really let's go to add xml actually i'm a great one anyway um you can name it let's do bible show let's just create one actually bubble show um let's go browse let's go to this pc c drive pop up show it's going to be under outputs and then data source one and then the x path will be forward slash bible show five let's just double check that what this will do what this is is the title of the section within the xml so it's actually bible show data so we can just copy this um paste it go to home and then inject the forward slash so what that will do is it defines um vmix to show to post anything that is within this um portion of the xml file go to um great and then you'll see here it's that it posts everything out time code reference scripture uh image path obvious all this good stuff so and then what you can do is you can change the update data every whatever milliseconds i find that every one second is good enough um that way i well i found out that even if i had maybe 500 milliseconds which is half a second i found out that the um the lag between the bible show click to the next entry to when it actually updates xml is pretty much the same as one second so i just set it to 1000 milliseconds which is same with one second so when we're done with that um let's just minimize this create a new input let's go to [Music] title gt title just for let's do that and then let's just do what i had before i created my own uh bible uh background injected a image and such but let's just create but if you don't know how to do that let's just go to a predefined title click ok and then you'll see there is different objects so the image will be your image on the right here um your verse will be right here and then your message well let's actually let's do that back here image is gonna be this guy um and also if you don't inject an image this this will actually say your image 280 by 280px onto the live stream so if you don't have an image at least create something for like maybe uh um like a clear background or something then uh for each object that you want data to come from a data source you have to go to each object and then go to data source um and then select your data source let's use bubble show table is just xml column it can do auto but if we do auto it's just going to be the time code which we don't want we want to be the scripture and then select scripture row is just going to be selected i believe this is with x different x uh csvs or particularly with um excel i believe i have never played with excel with the data source injection um so anyway and then format i believe this is just a generic lookup table um reference for how xml works um others might know more about that and then this is your preview so within that you'll see this has the scripture now so now we need to go to verse go back to data source again select bible show and then go to reference so reference will be your verse number or if you want it if you want to change this up to something else um you can like book name um i mean it doesn't have to be reference but that's how we have it set up so let's go back to reference and there we go and then we can go to image browse let's just do something uh let's just put this in here even though it's not gonna there we go and there is your uh lower thirds and let me go my stream deck and open turn on the um barbarous oops that's not it let's number two there we go who's that um and it's the same thing as what we have here um it does oops it does exactly the same it's just a different background i create my own background and i did that through gt title one other thing you can do is with bible show is you can create multiple instances with multiple instances you can actually have different types of data um being referenced differently so in this case i have a reference here let's do number two just so you guys can see it that is not exactly that is not the actual title i use i just changed it from the last time i tried to record this but you'll note that it does not have the reference and asb here well how did i do that and update it in real time is the other title well with a different instance which you'll need note here that this is number one if you click on this plus it will create a new instance and i can't remember if by default if it automatically um links the two instances together but if you um check this link here you will see it starts blinking red um that will this instance number two will link to instance number one and pretty much anything you do in instance number one will ref will be updated instance number two so if we go to let's just say daniel 5 12. uh you'll see it updated what the heck play that that's weird oh yes that's another thing um when you go to a different book uh within the bible it will actually freeze it um that way when you do go to play it doesn't play it doesn't update the xml and the monitor i guess at this time it did anyway you'll see here this is jeremiah 23 24 this is jmi 2324 and a within here with the without the reference of the nsb here i can show you how to do that i just went to configure i kind of had to play around with this figure out how this kind of worked um there is i believe guides on the website but i went had to go to aspect reference aspect and then i believe this is unchecked by default but um i have it checked on the first instance but um append bible show bible version acronym so if you go to the first one aspect and then this is checked so if you uncheck it you'll see this is no longer there but if you check it it does append and then you'll see down here it's kind of small you'll unpand it and append so that's how we at least do uh bible verses in the lower thirds on our church streaming so hopefully that helps thanks
