djdad · Post by **djdad** » 23 May 2022, 14:05

VirtualDJ offered a new update (Build 6954), currently as Early Access. This Build will become public in a few days, but in the meantime you can get this update by enabling the EarlyAccessUpdate setting in VirtualDJ Settings->OPTIONS

What this new update brings for os2l and TheLightingController...
1. A new action os2l_scene, similar to os2l_button, remembered per deck and sent for active deck. This addition provides a solution for this reported issue ... https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... =94&t=7233
2. By using os2l_scene in your Action POIs, the ON message will not be sent again when called, making the Live button to remain enabled. E.g. ButtonA called from a POI, then later ButtonA called again from a POI on another song. ButtonA will not be turned off (done so if os2l_button was used).
3. The new os2l_scene action can have a list of Live buttons as parameter (separated by semicolon) instead of a single name, so you can use

Code: Select all

 os2l_scene 'ButtonName1;ButtonName2;etc'

instead of

Code: Select all

os2l_scene ButtonName1' & os2l_scene 'ButtonName2' & etc

4. New Filter criteria to gather all the Tracks with Action POIs and see which ones may have os2l action POIs.
Filter : Has action poi = 1
and can be used as Filter Folder (https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtu ... tml#filter) , Quick filter and Color Filter (https://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/virtu ... tantfilter)
