Topic: Changing Background Image/Video File Mid-Party
Just that please.

It's karaoke night and the party is in full swing. Then I want to change the background video. The one you set to automatically play when a regular piece of music is being played between singers. I don't seem to be able to do this without re-starting Virtual DJ. Or is there a way?

Thanks.

PS: I know I can load more than one video so they play in sequence, but that's not what I want. I would like to have just one video looping around and be able to swap as necessary.

No need to restart VirtualDJ of course. Assuming you use the Karaoke mode (automation in Sideview), , each time you need to change a background video, you need to manually do it via the Karaoke Options menu --> Background (Images) -> Image / Video files and you select a video that you wish to play (in loop) between singers.

You are spot on again! ;O) Thanks for this. I tried this again live and I was able to change the video without any issue. I now realise where I was going wrong.
