Forum: General Discussion

For .shader files to play in older versions of vdj we need a suitable plugin. The .dll part of the native shader plugin is incorporated in vdj.exe. That's a bit of a disappointment. I had hoped to try it this weekend.

In your playlist, this one (Colored Steam) is apparently not compatible with Virtual DJ.

This one https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mld3Rn | view on shadertoy | copy link is really pin sharp on the Shadertoy site, but pixelated and blocky in VDJ. Anyone know why?

Another with problems in VDJ - https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Xsdczr | view on shadertoy | copy link runs fine on the site, but in VDJ gives a large black rectangle with the effect only at the edges.

Same PC & card. Shadertoy = sharp. VDJ = blocky.

Blacksheep doesn't offer the video effects drop down. Largely because this skin was developed prior to it existing.

I may look at updating the skin, but it more likely something NEW might be coming soon!!

In the mean time you can use one of the custom buttons at the top and code it to "video_fx_select" like the screen shop below:

Now moving on to figuring out how to download off their website. There is a request above me that I'm watching for the answer.

while the Shader is shown smooth in a small preview in Shadertoy web page, it may not be the same in VirtualDJ when the Video Output is set at Full HD

No, it was the other way around actually.

The effect was sharp & clear on Shadertoy, and I could run it full screen (1920x1080) with no problems.

Put it in VDJ and no matter the size of the video window, the result was similar to YouTube at 240p.
