VirtualDJ - Modification of the (PRO) skin with video preview instead of oncreen platters

PRO InfinityMember since 2006

Works and looks great but when i click the mixer or scratch tab, my two video previews go blank. Of course I've removed the platter (spinner/radar) codes but there must be code used in the video tab that can be copied and embedded into the mixer and scratch tab code so my individual deck video previews will continue? I'm just not figuring it out.

btw... I also made custom icons and enlarged text, since I'm on a smaller touchscreen.

Any help would be appreciated,

Just got it...

I changed:

************************************************************
VIDEO MIXER
************************************************************
<video pannel="video" source="master">
<pos x="403" y="133"/>
<size width="219" height="186"/>
<up x="403" y="2631"/>
</video>
<video pannel="video" source="channel" chan="1">
<pos x="172" y="220"/>
<size width="162" height="140"/>
<up x="172" y="2755"/>
</video>
<video pannel="video" source="channel" chan="2">
<pos x="643" y="220"/>
<size width="162" height="140"/>
<up x="643" y="2755"/>
</video>

TO:

************************************************************
VIDEO MIXER
************************************************************
<video pannel="video" source="master">
<pos x="403" y="133"/>
<size width="219" height="186"/>
<up x="403" y="2631"/>
</video>
<video pannel="videoX" source="channel" chan="1">
<pos x="172" y="220"/>
<size width="162" height="140"/>
<up x="172" y="2755"/>
</video>
<video pannel="videoX" source="channel" chan="2">
<pos x="643" y="220"/>
<size width="162" height="140"/>
<up x="643" y="2755"/>
</video>

That did the job just fine. I might toy around a little more. Might not even need the video pannel code for deck 1 & 2 at all?

Remove pannel="video" from the two preview windows.

<video pannel="video" source="channel" chan="1">

...and...

<video pannel="video" source="channel" chan="2">

Become:

<video source="channel" chan="1">

...and...

<video source="channel" chan="2">

Posted at the same time - but yes if the skin element isn't needed to be in a panel for any reason, then drop the pannel statement.

like the idea gives bigger space to the monitor for each deck and we really don't need those spinning wheels, just need more browser space.

any idea on release time (estimate)

I'm finishing uploading it right now ;o)

SBDJ, should I submit this as a skin?
