Topic: Where to get the full documentation of VDJ-Script

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I know this: https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJ8script.html

But the list of verbs is
- full of depricated (without hint to the replacement)
- and has many verbs missing like "has_karaoke_next"

I neet the possibility to get any tag-information of the nex 5 songs in my automix-list.
I thought, when there is a "has_karaoke_next", then there could be a "has_automix_next".
And i need something like "get_next_automix_song" and so on.

Where do I get a full documentation to VDJScript?

You are right, VDJ_Script documentation is more than outdated, erroneous and even wrong and sometimes does not help at all :/

but this time this is not totaly the case.

all you may need:

get_automix_song : get a property from the next song in automix: "get automix_song 'title'"

browser_scroll : scroll through the songs or folders. 'browser_scroll +1' or 'browser_scroll -1' to scroll one line, or "browser_scroll 'top'", "browser_scroll 'bottom'" to scroll to the beginning or end


have fun :^ ))
browser_window : Change the active browser zone. "browser_window 'folders'", "browser_window 'songs'", "browser_window 'sideview'", or "browser_window 'automix'", "browser_window 'sidelist'", "browser_window 'sampler'". Cycle through available browser zones. "browser_window +1", "browser_window -1". Cycle through specified zones. Example "browser_window 'folders,songs'"
i.e.:browser_window 'automix'

get_browsed_selection_index : 'get_browsed_selection 1 3' returns true if the first line is the selected line in a browser 3 lines high. 'get_browsed_selection 3'
browser_scroll : scroll through the songs or folders. 'browser_scroll +1' or 'browser_scroll -1' to scroll one line, or "browser_scroll 'top'", "browser_scroll 'bottom'" to scroll to the beginning or end


instead of the deprecated:

get_browsed_artist
get_browsed_artist_title
.....

use preferably :

get_browsed_song : get a property from the currently browsed file: "get_browsed_song 'title'", "get browsed_song 'playcount'", etc...

all you need is here and documented
 
Hmmm...

I tried something like
----------------------
<text size="40" color="white" weight="bold" action="browser_window 'automix' &amp; browser_scroll +2 &amp; get_browsed_song 'comment' &amp; param_uppercase" />
----------------------

But all it is diplaying is the word "on". I can't find the reason. What am I doing wrong?
 
I don't get it work. :(

I only geht the current playing title and the next automix title.
For karaoke there is the posibility to get the next titles like:

<text action="get_next_karaoke_song 'title'" />
<text action="get_next_karaoke_song 'title' 1" />
<text action="get_next_karaoke_song 'title' 2" />
<text action="get_next_karaoke_song 'title' 3" />

I need the same for the automix-list.
Does anyone know the code to get the comments of the next 4 songs displayed on video-skin?
 
Ho it's for a skin ^^
Badly these actions appears not to work within <text> element :/

More strange, get_automix_song and other don't seems to work where get_browsed_song does

Would be fine all standard list from sidewiew have the same set of verbs and by the way unified with browser:
 
You can see the most up to date list of available vdj script verbs from within the software (controller mapping or custom button editor for example)
