OK I am trying to edit the the xml file for a Live skin specifically the GFX live skin. When I use it it works fine but ALL video and camera components are all in the large window. I wish to ONLY have the visualizations and Video content in the main window and my cams in the smaller one. Keep in mind my knowledge of xml is rudimentarty at best so some specific direct would be appreciated.
Is there a map or document available the defines all the parameters used on the skins xml?

Hey thanks for the info...unfortunately even though you can choose the video "source" I hav eno idea what the visualizations are called or how to call up my cameras.

that's a recent addition and it is not well documented yet
in <video> element just define source="camera" as a parameter
<video ... source="camera"... />
no need of chan= or deck= in this case, they are ignored
all other parameters being optionnal : x= y= width= height= canstretch= mirror= visibility= condition= ...
the selected camera will be the one selected in master video fx "camera"
and will display only when master "camera" videofx is enable
same apply to slideshow

example taken from one of my videoskin (video in a shape, visibility is transparency):
<video x="640" y="360" width="640" height="360" source="camera" visibility="get_var '$jv[WINDOW]l'" letterboxing="bars" linkdrop="false">
<clipmask x="640+640" y="720"/>
</video>
most simple:
<video x="640" y="360" width="640" height="360" source="camera"/>
part of "Blacksheep Pro VS" video skin :
<video source="camera" canstretch="true" mirror="true">
<pos x="+0" y="+0"/>
<size width="853" height="480"/>
</video>
then you need to activate "camera" plugin as main video effect
( in camera GUI, pos and size opacity zoom chroma key and camera can be selected/adjusted)

OK let me explain. Using the pic below... you can see two windows...one with "blinding lights" and one with a webcam feed of a DJ Controller. Now my issue is 4 fold -
1. Any visualizations, cam feeds (I have two cams - 1 on my dj laptop and a external webcam connected via usb to the laptop) or videos I play ALL show up on only the first window. I can't get anything to display on the second window.
2. I can only get one effect to run at a time eg: only one of my cams or only visualizations.
3. I looked through the xml code and I understand some of it but am still a little lost in respect to figure out how to customize the skin. eg: web address, facebook page etc. adding my logo also.
4. Ideally all I would like for the first window is ONLY music video, video clips and visualizations (eg shaders etc). And Only switchable Cam feeds from the second.
Sorry fro being a pain in the @$$ but once I do it a few times I should be good from now on.
Thanks again for your kind assistance.

As I can see, it's only simple Broadcaster GFX - Neon videoskin with @$broadcasterGFX = 1 & @$broadcasterGFXswitch = 0
by default:
in left area master video is show , any video effect comming from active deck will display (even camera and slideshow), any effect from master video will display (but camera and slideshow)
in right area, only master camera will show
more info are in comment pages:
