Forum: VirtualDJ Plugins

Topic: Video/Dmx plugin

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I need to write a plugin that will issue a command to my DMX device at the start and end of every video. I'd like to hire someone to write it for me, however any help will be really appreciated.

I have a DMX controlled video source switch. When a video starts I want to switch the video source to the VDJ, but when an mp3 plays, I want to switch the source to cable television.

I need to know how issue the DMX commands on the start and on the end of each video (or on the start of an mp3).

If anybody would like to do the job for pay, please let me know.

Thanks,

Noam

Create it as a video effect. You could check the deck status and filename/type using GetInfo() calls, along with the video crossfader position. You could simply do this in OnDraw() since GetInfo() isn't threadsafe.

Thank you for your help!!!

I understand the OnDraw() call, but where would I handle the command needed at the end of the video (or the beginning of an MP3).

Is this the kind of job you might be willing to do for a fee?

OnDraw is called constantly for as long as the video is active, so this is a bit simplified but you could basically check deck status and issue whatever commands you need to. Doesn't sound like a big task :)

No interest in making a quick buck?

I've only done VB programming, I'm not relishing the idea of learning C++ for this one project.
