Forum: VirtualDJ Skins

Topic: Broadcaster skin
So I use the broadcaster video skin and one of the options is to have the title of the track that’s playing, shown. That’s good and that what I want.

When I use vinyl in thru mode, it shows Timecode input 1/2 .

Is there anyway I can replace that with something else or is this hardcoded in??

Only by editing the skin (The timecode thing is hardcoded)
You can edit the skin so that when deck X is using timecode to not show "Artist - Title" on screen..

Could you help me with that?? Im not sure what Im supposed to look for??
 
It would be something like

get_artist_title or something similar
and you want to change it to a query, something like
get_artist_title & param_contains "timecode" ? get_text "The thing you want to replace with" : get_artist_title


That's the rough outline without opening the skin and giving an exact answer.
 
Ok aewsome!! Ill take a look, Thank you fellas!!

So I can only find 1 "get title/get artist" and when I try to open VDJ video, it gives me an error at the line I added your script to.
 
If you mean one of Rune's skins, there are six versions. Which one exactly?
 
Lol! I forgot he's has a few, I'm using the 'Boilerplate'
 
Looks like this is the bit where it all happens -> lines 276-294

It's checking (via visibility) for audio on the master, which presumably is always going to be the case, so I guess it needs to check for timecode active or not instead.

Not active = show track info. Active = show something else.

visible="not get_hastimecode" for track info and visible="get_hastimecode" for no track info (would be my guess)
