What is Vegas OFX Host Name?

I guess I’ve been waiting long enough for Magix to update the Vegas OFX docs released by Sony sometime in 2013. Do they really not want anyone to develop OFX plug-ins for the Magix version of Vegas Pro?

The most important piece of information they should release is what host name the Magix variety of Vegas Pro returns during the initialization. The old docs say,

#define kOfxSonyVegasHostName "com.sonycreativesoftware.vegas"
#define kOfxSonyVegasMovieStudioHostName "com.sonycreativesoftware.vegas.moviestudio.hd"
#define kOfxSonyVegasMovieStudioPlatinumHostName "com.sonycreativesoftware.vegas.moviestudio.pe"

Is that still the case? I doubt it, but in that case, just what is it?

Regarding OFX, we have made no changes to the api to this point.

@Fred_is_Dead What are your choices? If there isn't one that specifically states Vegas then look for one that states OFX.

I recently downloaded and installed the Boris FX Continuum Lights Unit . The BorisFX website does not clearly specify which version is for Vegas Pro, so I downloaded the OFX version, which installed and activated w/o issue.
