I tried emulating key presses from Bitfocus Companion to Resolume.
Tried multiple options including Vicreo listener and nircmd system extension but key presses do not work in Arena.
The same key presses work in other applications but when Arena is in focus, nothing happens. However mouse clicks (emulated with the same method) work successfully.
Have tried on multiple versions from 7.21.3 to 7.22.5

The idea was to stack multiple functions to make programming shows easier. For example, I tried creating a three step command:
1. make clip opacity 100% (MIDI) - works.
2. press ctrl+shift+T (refresh thumbnail) - does not work.
3. make clip opacity 0% - works.

Has anyone done something similar or has any ideas on how to get this working?

You'd probably have better luck with OSC https://resolume.com/support/en/osc

I do prefer (and use OSC) messages but I tried key emulation due to not finding a way to send OSC for some things I want to control. The mentioned ctrl+shift+T being one of them.

My thought process concluding this: when I open OSC shortcut editing, I can not select this function to enable/disable OSC output and, therefore, am not able to get the needed OSC command to use for sending from external devices/software e.g. Companion.
Is there some way of using OSC for these non-assignable commands?

EDIT: The shortcut emulation works with the native Stream Deck software (using its hotkey function) but building the rest of the commands (with delays etc.) is quite cumbersome in that software so would be nice to get it working in Companion.

Menu actions are not shortcut mappable currently, sorry.

The API has a command to send a custom image to a clip to be the thumbnail https://resolume.com/docs/restapi/#/cli ... nail_by_id
