Due to a problem with Netsearch Video, we decided to release a new version, v6.1.1.
This version mainly fixes netsearch video, but also update the controllers native support list and fix or tweak a few mappings.
If you don't use netsearch video and you have gigs this weekend, we recommend that you wait until Sunday before installing the new version.
(we usually make releases on Sunday to prevent people to go live with a version they didn't test, but in this case we wanted to be sure that people who do use netsearch video would have a working version for the weekend).
As usual, this new version is free for all basic/pro users, and can be downloaded from your download center.

So does this update do to everyone what it did to me? I can now only use 30s snippets of video through netsearch instead of the full song. My understanding is that the membership covers audio for $9.99 monthly, but video does not require a subscription.
Has this changed?

How do you just search for video, and what do the little green check marks stand for on the netsearch icon?

The green check marks are actually a "V" for video. I've noticed that as long as I have the external video hooked up, the video files are always at the top of the netsearch list, which is what I prefer. Hope that helps.

I've installed the new version and when I connect to the internet now it says " Connected - Free limited membership".
Previously to this version it said "Connected full membership". As a pro user I thought this service was included? Can someone either point me to the discussion or explain if this is a bug or a new membership tier and what it entails?
EDIT:
Found the answer to this through searching using different terms. Is the membership service available to users outside of the USA or is this an exclusive USA deal?

I agree that an explanation would be great. I would assume there would be no reason to change/limit the video capabilities since the video sources are from the web (youtube and such), not from a subscription service. It seems to me that it would be a bit unfair to assess a "membership" to use sources that are readily available to anyone with an internet connection.
That being said, I do love the way that Netsearch includes the ability to load these videos directly into the players. The feature is nice, but I believe the feature is covered in the cost of the software. The music videos themselves, however, are "content" that is not being provided by VDJ. VDJ merely provides a way to use that content.
Am I incorrect to believe that as long as the sources for the videos are still public domain, we should not be charged a fee to be able to access them?

It was done to bring more clarity to the actual membership levels of the NetSearch features. Full Membership gives the wrong impression since you don't get access to the audio files provided by the Premium Membership.

You are not charged a fee to access the videos/audio that are provided by searching the net.

Log out in VirtualDJ, close and re-open then log back in - try again.

The Premium Membership is a global service - however you should read about it here - http://www.virtualdj.com/products/membership.html

I tried your suggestion... logging out... closing VDJ... restarting VDJ.... logging back in...
No luck.
I've tried starting VDJ, logging in, searching, fail, log out, log in, search, fail.
I've tried rebooting the laptop, starting VDJ, logging in, searching, fail.
I've tried logging out, closing VDJ, rebooting, opening VDJ, logging in, searching, fail.
Honestly, no matter what method I've used, VIDEO netsearches (like audio) are limiting me to 30 seconds. Am I really the only one having this issue?

The switch to the new membership system was done in May when we released VirtualDJ 6.1.
If you skipped 6.1 and went directly from 6.0.x to 6.1.1, you can find back the discussion about the new membership system in this thread.

@dj aladin, why don't you do a restore point back until Thursday, that way you should be able to get your old settings back then you can sort any problems out after your gigs.

Hi there,
So what new controllers are supported, i tried my Vestax Typhoon and still no luck with it? You have the non PC spin working on pc so surely the typhoon must be compatible, any ideas?

No this version was only to remedy the NetSearch issues. The added/fixed controller items were only at the definition/mapping level.

As posted in the Hardware forum - the manufacture is providing the necessary support for the Typhoon. Once they provide the files then we can make them available. Can't add what we don't have :)

You need a membership to have full access to NetSearch, due to added content providers, with better and more pro service.
