VirtualDJ - Having some trouble with get_loaded

PRO InfinityMember since 2020

EDIT: Never mind, I got it working.

After I quick search, I read in another post that you should be able to get the User 1 field from a song with "deck 1 get_loaded_song 'user 1', but for some reason it isn't working for me.

Here is my function:

std::string CvdjMixmaster::GetDeckSongLightshow(int deckIndex)
{
	const int MAX_SIZE = 256;
	char lightshow[MAX_SIZE];
	std::string command = "deck " + std::to_string(deckIndex) + " get_loaded_song 'user 1'";
	HRESULT hr = GetStringInfo(command.c_str(), lightshow, MAX_SIZE);

	if (hr == S_OK) {
		return std::string(lightshow);
	}
	else {
		// Log error code and command for debugging
		std::string errorMsg = "Error fetching lightshow for deck " + std::to_string(deckIndex) + ": HRESULT " + std::to_string(hr);		
		return errorMsg;
	}
}

If I change the relevant line to say:

std::string command = "deck " + std::to_string(deckIndex) + " get_loaded_song 'genre'";

It delivers the correct genre as expected.

But when I do 'user 1' instead of 'genre' it returns:

"Error fetching lightshow for deck 1: HRESULT 1"

So far I have tried the variations 'user 1', 'User 1', 'user1', and 'User1', all to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.
