Topic: VDJ 2018 Syphon??? - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Good Evening,

I'm about to pay the $299 for pro license, however before I do I'm hoping one of the forum members could answer a question. Does VDJ 2018 have a plug-in for a Syphon Server? I was able to find an older plug-in for VDJ8 (syphonserver8 by SBDJ), has anyone tried that one to see if it works in VDJ2018?.......thank you in advance for any help you have........Shawn

VDJ 2018 is still VDJ 8 under the hood (version 8.3). They just gave it a new name.

Therefore the plugin should work just fine.

Syphon does work with VDJ2018, I use it all the time.

But not anymore? It is not supported - tells the plugin

This seems to be the case: When I activate syphonserver...VDJ returns " This plugin does not seem compatible with Virtual DJ 8" . Running 2020 latest stable build 5402.

[Any using the previous builds that work could kindly inform us as we await it's fixing, hoping it will be fixed]

You can actually, but the video sdk download hadn't been updated yet.
You can use
#define VDJFLAG_VIDEO_OUTPUTRESOLUTION 0x400000
#define VDJFLAG_VIDEO_FORRECORDING 0x1000000

in your plugin to do this.

@sbdj....that'll be awesome. (Thought my vdj was malfunctioning with that "plug in incompatible" notice smh)

Will be waiting and thanks!

That advice is for plugin writing at the source code [C++] level.

Locodog Thnx for the advice but I don't know how to do that. Can someone please update syphon. Ik need it really bad.

Where can I download the syphon or spout plugin for vdj2020? I've searched the extension area in the app but nothing comes up.

You know how rewire shares real time audio between programs, these are the video equivalent [very basic description]

Syphon / Spout actually allow applications to share their output as an input to other applications even over network
They are some kind of "virtual video cables"

Syphon is an open source Mac OS X technology that allows applications to share video and still images with one another in realtime.

spout is a Realtime video sharing framework for Windows

Thanks to both folks that answered my question.

I actually got it working with Synesthesia while I was waiting for your replies.

I get the idea. Doesn't the VDJ screen grab feature do about the same thing when everything is running on one computer instead of a network?

yes in a very basic kind of way, but screen grab is literally just grab what's in an area on the screen, these work with minimised windows etc

... syphon/spout can send from VDJ to other apps as well

Resolume is an obvious use but that would clearly require quite a bit of hardware and manpower to control the rig. Correct me if I am wrong.

I'd be interested in hearing from folks regarding their uses of Spout with Virtual DJ.
