Topic: Broadcasting Video to Mixcloud: how to show always artist & track name?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,
When broadcasting Video to Mixcloud, I see the artist & track name are shown when a song has no .LRC file. When it does, it shows the lyrics, but not the Track Name & Artist. Is is possible to also show the Artist & Track Name?

Thanks!

What are you using to show the lyrics?

VDJ's video output, I think. This happens automatically with my setup - I don't know how I would stop it if I didn't want it.

It seems to be a streamed version of the video output that pops up automatically when I play a track with an associated .LRC file.

(As an aside, do you know if there's a script action I can assign to a custom button to show/hide this display? I don't "do karaoke" but I do like to check out the lyrics of tracks, but don't always want that window.)
 
ah ok, so you have lyric files that are with the exact name of the mp3 file, and placed in same folder.
That will automatically be detected as karaoke (And show karaoke lyrics on screen)

You can either name the lyric files slightly different than the mp3.
For example : Artist - Title.mp3 and lyric file named as Artist - Title (Lyrics).lrc
Or place lyrics in its own folder or subfolder.

Alternatively you can right-click the music file(s), and open Tag Editor,, and uncheck "karaoke" option bottom right corner
 
Thanks, Rune.

I'm looking for the artist & track name to always show -- in addition to the Lyrics - not to replace them.

Ah! understood ;-)

Can use the Titler video fx for showing at each new song (for a short while).
Or videoskins that permanently show current song-

See here for some of the available video skins that show titles on main video output : https://www.virtualdj.com/plugins/index.html?category=skins&subcat=2
 
Sweeeet!
Thank you!!
 
The simpler title only video skins are very short xml code, so you can easily edit them as well ..
say you want to place things out of view from the lyrics or something like that. Editing position and size of text elements in the skin
