Topic: Youtube/ the use of 2 plugins in the video option

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

It would be great if the software engineers could make a way to search for a video on you tube and play it on virtual dj. It would just take a little to load the streaming video and then play it. This way if you don't have the video at a party or club you can just search for it on you tube. Also in setting for video if the engineers could make and option to use 2 plugins for audio file for audio files instead of one such as the title pligun and sonique plugin. or the title plugin and the logo plugin

There might be legal issues if playing youtube videos to an audience.
 
You can use multiple audio and video plugins. You need to activate them from the Effects area (Can be done with keyboard shortcuts as well)

As to the YouTube - JeremK is right .. there are legal issues with using those videos and would not be practical to do so either.
 
Of course, there are occasions when playing a Youtube video would be fine - for example, a party the other week where I found some suitably amusing home videos of the party organiser to stick on screen!

It's easy enough to download Youtube vids via www.keepvid.com. Just copy the video address, and paste it into the page on keepvid's site, and it will download it to your machine as an mp4 video. I'd forget any thoughts of using it for music vids etc though; apart from the obvious legal issues, the quality is pants!
 
Cstoll,

I think he meant in the config panel to use multiple plugins for audio only files.

that what i meant {up} 2 plugins to be used while an audio file is being played.
 
I see what you are saying ... don't see the benefit ... but understand the request.
 
If the titler plugin is always activated, is it de-activated when audio files come up?
 
I just called and spoke to the RIAA and asked them about playing youtube videos in a live chat room, i.e.: Tinychat - and they said there are no legal boundaries "yet" to cover the videos - no license to play these videos as streaming music is required.
 
...and this thread is over three years old ;)
