So far I have two skins that make my vdj crash :
http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/16712/Virtual_DJ_8_-_Browser_Zoom.html
This one is so weird... It worked some times ago... But now it just makes a crash...
http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/16832/jmf36000.html
For this one I tried several things :
I tried to set the langage to english, no luck.
I tried to load it when in fullscreen (1440x900), no luck.
I tried to change my resolution to 1280x800, no luck.
I tried to change my resolution to 1024x768, no luck.
I tried to delete the custom icons at the skin's xml startup, no luck.
I even tried to load it 'from' the preceding internal v8 skin, no luck.
I tried to convert the xml into UTF-8 only, no luck.
I tried to convert all tabulations into spaces, no luck.
I tried to wipe blank lines, no luck.
I tried to wipe ending lines blank spaces, no luck.
I tried to modify the header (where the image of the skin is described), no luck.
I tried to delete the xml comments, no luck.
I tried other things that I can't even remember... Still no luck...
What's weird is the first skin by djtouchdan, I KNOW it has loaded a while ago cause I stole his cute custom browser to add it in my skin.
Once upon a day, I have had such an issue with my skin. In notepad++, I used the tool to capitalize some words (in tooltips). The key for that function is CTRL-SHIFT-U. After doing this, my skin was crashing vdj the same way as those two above. I had to restore an old version of my xml file, then it worked again.

Are you able to re-produce this or pin down the cause?

I just can't load it anymore, everytime I try, vdj crashes, and when I launch it again, the previous skin loads instead of the chosen one... It may happen that, when relaunching, vdj will crash 3 or 4 more times, even if it shows the previous skin. I disabled crashguard.
Dunno why at this time... I will check the options window if I find something interesting I'll tell here...

I dont see any software crashes uploaded from you. What do you mean by "crash" ? Windows crash ?
Have you tried to delete the settings.xml file and relaunch ?

I mean by crash, this :
And after this VDJ closes itself.
If you don't see anything, it's maybe because I disabled crashguard in the options ? I'll have some tests with it activated today, if that can help. I had to disable it because it sometimes reload VDJ constantly in an infinite loop.

Two times each.
Hope this will help.

Buuuuuuuuuuuut...
Ahem sorry to annoy with this :'(
Since 1878 I have a new issue, with waveforms... BUT only in MY skin as it can show 'single-height' or 'doubled-height' waves.
The new issue is :
When showing the 'single-height' waves (in both 'above decks' or 'under decks' layouts), the little black hand to 'hold/move/nudge' the wave now acts like if the skin was showing the 'doubled-height' waves.
So the little 'holding hand' gets over the song's title-artist of each deck, OR over the browser (when in 'under decks' stance).
I had no issue with this before 1878...
Not easy to explain that in english sorry :'( PLUS I cannot take a screenshot of the mouse cursor to show you exactly what is happening...

Sounds like a panel issue or visibility issue.
By the way try using Jing for your screen shots - by setting up a keyboard shortcut the screen is frozen exactly whilst you take the image so you can then show the mouse as well as drop down menus etc.

But it worked just perfectly 3min before 1878 and I didn't change anything in the skin today.
Didn't change anything since 0.3 is posted thus.
I will take a screenshot with jing ! Thanks !

I have set a custom key to trigger the screenshot but it doesn't take the mouse... Didn't find how to activate the option...
I made some screenshots thus to show the RANGE where the black hand acts.
I have two rhythmzone defines, 'waves' and 'bigwaves'. At the very begining of the xml.
'waves' is 92px height.
'bigwaves' is 184px height.
The issue is when I show 'waves', the range of the black-hand-mouse-cursor is acting within 184px (as if the skin was showing 'bigwaves'), so if I put the mouse over the title of the song for example, it wil show the black hand and I am able to move the wave from there :
If, in the 'bigwaves' define, I set a height of 92 it will work correctly when showing 'waves' but no more when showing 'bigwaves'.
I changed NOTHING and it was working fine before 1878.
Here is the code :
<define class="waves" mirror="false" upsidedown="false" fade="0" visibility="not skin_panel 'bigrhythm'">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="1372" height="92"/>
<colors deck1="#007097" deck2="#8c0709" deck1_active="#009fd2" deck2_active="#cd0f10"/>

Ok, the define code seems ok...but how do you "call" them ? what is the code you use to display those panels ?
Btw, you should use the SKins forum for posts like that. Let me know if you have any issues on moving that there. Not everybody is interested in reading skins code ;)

Yes but in my opinion it is related to the update 1878 that corrected the "not working skins" bug.
Feel free to move or split the thread wherever you like.
I call the defines this way :
<panel id="defaultwave" group="waveform" visible="yes">
<rhythmzone class="waves"/>
<rhythmzone class="bigwaves"/>
</panel>
OR, If I need to override some values :
<panel id="updownwave" group="waveform" visible="no">
<rhythmzone class="waves" upsidedown="true">
<rhythm y="+2" height="91"/>
<grid height="0" width="0" maxwidth="0"/>
<cue><text dx="15" dy="80" size="14" /></cue>
</rhythmzone>
<rhythmzone class="bigwaves" upsidedown="true">
<rhythm y="+2" height="183"/>
<grid height="0" width="0" maxwidth="0"/>
<cue><text dx="15" dy="80" size="14" /></cue>
</rhythmzone>
</panel>

I managed to correct the bug another way after experimenting various things.
I discovered that the issue did appear only when showing the extra gridlines.
I had to add some extra values to those two rhythmzones, like this : (addons are bolded)
<pannel id="full_length_grid" group="linetype" visibility="skin_panel 'perdeckwave' on ? false : skin_panel 'perdecknogridwave' on ? false : skin_panel 'perdeckmirrorwave' on ? false : skin_panel 'perdeckmirrornogridwave' on ? false : true">
<rhythmzone class="waves" visibility="skin_panel 'horizontal_scratch_active' on ? false : skin_panel 'splitted_scratch_active' on ? false : true">
<size height="1"/>
<colors deck1="#007097" deck1_active="#007097" deck1_left="#007097" deck2="#8c0709" deck2_active="#8c0709" deck2_right="#8c0709"/>
<rhythm y="+0" height="1"/>
<grid height="92" width="1" maxwidth="1">
<pos y1="+0" y2="+0"/>
</grid>
<cue y="+0" height="0"/>
</rhythmzone>
<rhythmzone class="bigwaves" visibility="skin_panel 'horizontal_scratch_active' on ? false : skin_panel 'splitted_scratch_active' on ? false : true">
<size height="1"/>
<colors deck1="#007097" deck1_active="#007097" deck1_left="#007097" deck2="#8c0709" deck2_active="#8c0709" deck2_right="#8c0709"/>
<rhythm y="+0" height="1"/>
<grid height="184" width="1" maxwidth="1">
<pos y1="+0" y2="+0"/>
</grid>
<cue y="+0" height="0"/>
</rhythmzone>
</pannel>
So, now it acts just as before 1878, bug addressed !
