you need to replace the default skin with a new copy its in the documents folder under skins .

if you have a pc just copy it across if not and you need a .zip send me a pm.

roedel -

Couple of Questions - is it "internal database corrupt" or "invalid skin" error? These usually mean two different problems. Try this, move the VirtualDJ Database.xml file to some safe location other than the VirtualDJ installed folder. Open VirtualDJ after you move the file - do things work correctly?

BTW, this is where you will get your best support for VirtualDJ, just don't give up so quickly on the people here in the forums.

Sorry if you got me wrong but this was not against the people in this forum. I´m very thankfull about the support I got but I paid a lot of money for a product which doesn´t work and i think it should be the job of the software supporters to make it work and I hink they should not let the nice people in forums do their work.
My problem still is after deinstalling virtualDj and the Mk2 software and a new download and install that when i start the programm I get an error message:

"the internal database is corrupted"

and after click on OK

"Invalid Skin file (error line %i in the xml)


I really don´t understand that after deleting all the brandnew downloaded and installed file produces the same error again and again????

I have this same problem, I have the MK2 driver software too installed, i get both problems. I was only able to open it once. Now i cant. I dont see why there would be a problem, i have reinstalled a number of times and straight away get the same error, i have msg staff, they usually are pretty quick with the error reports. But then i downloaded the old mac version i think, im not sure if i got it before april 8 or after. Mmmm.... but i get the problem, you arent alone.

ok go to documents > virtual dj

and open up the file virtualdjdatabase(users).xml
in text edit.

and look near the end

ensure all the song tags are closed


they should look like this
<Song FileName="10 The Ultimate [Original Version].mp3" FileSize="11993410" TagDate="701160438">
<Display Author="Kris; Sy; Trixta" Title="The Ultimate [Original Version]" TagRead="1" />
<Infos SongLength="16540416" />
<BPM Bpm="17640" Phase="2352" />
<FAME IsScanned="1" Volume="8324" />
<Automix MixType="3" TempoStart="1131312" TempoEnd="15807792" CutStart="1131616" CutEnd="16336704" FadeStart="1004544" FadeEnd="16356864" />
</Song>


Notice </song> at the end it is likey that some songs near the end dont have this and have currupted the sheet below them add this tag if it is missing , and this should remedy both problems.

Perhaps there can be a quick script to "grep " out song to ensure it follows by a /song tag.

I see if i can which it up if this utility doesnt exist..

Can the VDJ staff reply if there is a database corruption tool?

Skyfox-
I am NOT having this issue, but it seems ANY song in a VIRTUAL Folder "DONT" have a </Song> Tag.

Is this ok?

I did notice songs in the FAVORITES folder that contain BPM and cue data DO end with
</Song>

Can you please verify I am correct in my statement that Virtual Folder songs dont end each lines with </Song>?

There is a utility that I wrote that fixes this problem - however it is an .exe for the PC version. I don't have a MAC and therefore can not convert this utility to MAC.

I know how the XML file is to be formatted and Skyfxl is correct. Hopefully someone with MAC programming skills can build such a utility. I would be willing to share my 'logic' and some code if someone is interested. NOTE: it was written using VBscript so it not as simple and an export to MAC, someone will need to 'write' the code for MAC.

I had this problem and now im sure i have fixed it, this is what i did, when installing the new mac download, its got a 12 in it. Make sure you delete every trace from the old one installed. Type virtual dj in your seach and go through it. I ended up deleteing the crash log and something else, i reinstalled the new mac version and so far it has worked.

lets hope it will still work tomorrow hahaha.

try that tell me how you go

I fixed it too! I´m very happy - believe me!!! THanx to all for your patient support.

Allow me just two more questions:

- I think the waveformvisualization has a little delay to the beat and jitters when starting the new deck. Is this normal?(macbook 1gb ram)

- how can i transform all my written comments, cues and bpms from the Pc version to the macversion?

i just deleted everything (!) the finder found searching for "virtualdj" and reinstalled it again. But after fixing this the prog always (!) chrashes when I´m using the find tool. I won´t use the mac version anymore. Impossible to go on stage with.

are you using CUE or VDJ for MAC? I cant get his to Crash yet trying to duplicate this.

Are you using Intel MACS?
