Please add the option to deactivate every single camera in VirtualDJ to the camera plug-in
The problem is: VirtualDJ claims every connected camera so that no other program can access it.
I have connected four webcams and I don't want to use two of them with VirtualDJ but with another program.
But that is not possible because all four webcams are confiscated by VirtualDJ.
The problem would be solved with the possibility of deactivating individual cameras in Virtual.

When the camera is not in use it will automatically be released by vdj.
Note that as long as the camera plugin is loaded in any use it will keep the camera in use so that it can be quickly activated. So you have to make sure to select a different plugin in those slots to release the camera.
Also make sure the camera's you don't use are not selected in the camera rotation if you have multiple camera's selected in the camera plugin.

Hi ADION,
That can not be.
When I start VirtualDJ all cameras are occupied.
Then start my second program and get the message that all cameras are being used by another program
As soon as I quit Virtual, the cameras work on the second program

Camera is probably the selected effect when you start up VirtualDJ then..
If its in the selected slot, its in use.
In the camera effect settings at the "MORE" button you can also select what cameras VDJ should take.
If its a camera you want to "exclude" deselect it from the "Select Camera" options
Works fine my end at least.. can start VDJ with camera effect selected, enable camera fx etc.
And the unselected camera works fine in other apps all the time

Hi Rune,
yes I can select, activate, deactivate etc. my first and/or second camera here,
and I can deactivate my third and fourth camera here, this is not a problem!
But even if I deactivate the third and fourth cameras here, VirtualDJ will not enable them,
so that I cannot use the third and fourth in my other program.
You have already tested it with four cameras?
It doesn't work devinitive!

Can you try renaming your settings.xml and try again to make sure there's no camera effect selected in another slot?

I discover (not only camera related but any plugin) something totally understandable I never figureout before:
if a custom button or pad or videoskin is mapping one of the controls of a plugin (button, slider, string...)
of course the plugin, even not in a slot or enable, needs to be loaded in a way to give the info back
with "camera" the side effect is that the webcam(s) is(are) selected

I've already done that but it doesn't change anything.
now I will save the settings and delete them
then I try it with an empty settings file

Now I have tested with an empty setting and it works!
what is disturbing in the original setting?
it would be a lot of work to rebuild the setting file!
You can take a look at the original file when i send them?
Maybe they'll find the mistake?!

Can just upload it here : https://filebin.net/ or somewhere
Perhaps you had camera fx selected on one of the decks video FX or similarly..

There are 4 good reasons "camera" plugin keep loaded (or self reloads) in the xml file
- "camera" loaded in unexposed "master" slot
- "camera" loaded in exposed "videofx" slot
- custom button "Cameras" with only one item (so that exposed) needs "camera" to modify its button 1
- videoskin "Broadcaster GFX - Neon" config (disabled though but selected) looking for "camera" when in "auto" mode as specified by the corresponding master variable $broadcasterGFXextrabox set to 1

camera all over that settings xml :)
Probably you had camera fx loaded somewhere that took the camera..
But all works now, with new xml.. So i guess just use that, or add the old and go over where you used the camera
