Topic: VDJ Databse Updater

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Could someone please walk me through how to use the vdj databse updater. I'd like for vdj to use the BPM's that are stored in the tags of my files. I can't figure it out.

follow the steps 1-5 its pretty explained on screen

:)

1 load files

2. scan files

3. process files

4. load database

5. save it :)
 
Yeah, but it doesn't update. all the bpm's r staying the same. I've repeated those steps like 8 times.
 
You have to copy the database made in the VDJ Databse Updater folder to the virtual dj folder.
I just tried it and it works but it seems to have a bug - it displays the bpm in one decimal place and adds extra digits : example 99.05 will show as 9905.1
 
Yeah i've done that but some of the tracks that say 90 or 80 bpm within the tags say 180 & 160 in vdj which is what vdj's bpm engine had given them anyway so, what gives?
Also which database updater r u using there seems to be two of them.
 
I am using v 1.3 from johans.

Yeah, it seems that vdj does not really use the bpm from the tags - the skins show the bpm from the vdj bpm engine on the players - but shows the bpm from the tags in the browser. I don\'t know if this can be fixed in the skin - so the bpm from the tags also show up on the players when loaded - instead of the vdj calcuated tag.
 
I guess that's why everyone's quiet about it. The programs is a wonderful idea but the crap doesn't work.
