Hi
I have a skin where i have buttons to turn on common video effects that i use, i.e. i can turn titler on & off quickly if am doing karaoke and don't want the title obscuring the words.
At the moment i am using
<button action='video "on" ? video_fx_select "Titler" & video_fx'>
this selects the relevent effect from the video_fx list and toggles it, however this means that if i have 4 different fx buttons on my skin, only the last one i have clicked on will be "highlighted" by the <selected> tag indicating whether or not the effect is active.
Ideally i would like to have a button directly turn on or off a specific video effect so that i can see at a glance which effect are on or off.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved, any help appreciate.
Thanks

The way your action is written it will highlight the selected video_fx (selected action will light on the buttton only if all conditions are true)
However i dont think there is an alternative way to trigger video effects. It's a small limitation of VDJ script. We are all looking forward for an upated version.
I will try to find a workaround (if there is any) and let you know.

Actually you can modify the code on something like this:
<button action=var_equal "$VFXTitler" 1 ? on & 'video "on" ? video_fx_select "Titler" & video_fx off ? video_fx & set "$VFXTitler" 1 : video_fx & set "$VFXTitler" 0'>
and you can make it work! I'm not on my dj-ing laptop right now so I can't try it but I had achieved something like this on my controller's leds ;)

Hi PhantomDeejay
When i try what you are saying i get "error in XML file", i think the problem may be with quotes, there is no quotation before "var_equal", should there be?
I have tried playing with quotes but don't know enough to be able to get it to work, i can stop the error message but the button becomes ineffective.
Thanks
