I just purchased a Virtual DJ subscription on the assumption that Syphon output was supported since Virtual DJ has a ton of features and Serato Video supports Syphon output. Can you please fix the Syphon output plugin?

The Syphon Client plugin should work fine, what happens for you when you try to run it?

He's talking about Virtual DJ running as a Syphon Server and not a Client which are two totally separate things. A Syphon Client can receive video from other programs but a Syphon Server can send video to other programs. If you want to do complex video mapping/keystoning multiple outputs for LED walls, etc you need Virtual DJ to support Syphon Server output.

Are you actually able to Syphon Virtual DJs output into Resolume? Does Virtual DJ show up as a Syphon input source for you in Resolume? AFAIK I haven't been able to get it to work. LuxLumen's workaround is to have Virtual DJ output a screen to a Blackmagic mini recorder capture card and then run that captured output into Resolume. Unfortunately with my setup (Macbook Pro 2019), i'm maxing out every port on my attached USB hubs while also running an EGPU. There's no way I can run a capture card as a work around which is why I would love for Virtual DJ to support output as a Syphon Server.

Yes, please do. You could even tell me your method too. Are using a Mac, correct? I figure you can easily do this on a PC with Spout but I can't figure out a way to send it using Syphon on a mac.

Hi there, I try to configure Virtual Dj 2021 with Mixemergency 3.3.2 but when I try to route the video channels on MixEmergency I don't have Virtual Dj channels available to assign. I try with the version you guys post on this forum but send me a message of incompatibility. Any other option you can recommend me? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you turn off the "Use Experimental Metal engine" in the performance options. It does work with the latest version.

Thanks a lot, LUXLUMEN...had given up on vdj being a syphon server. Just tested the syphonserver8 effect again, with the engine off, it's back and working well with the latest M.E and Resolume too. Thanks!
