Hi @ChristianRado I guess zog searched the community forum with an accent in « video » (vidéo) and didn’t found anything…

Also @pianopaul mentioned in other topics that he uses GrandVJ with GP:

hi, i’m using a standalone APP named MiX16 Pro (https://www.mix16apps.com/) - controlled by MIDI out from Gig Performer … if you like to see it in action, check out the gigperformer backstage this week. MiX16 is a very simple software where you can start more videos fading between like a VJ … and so on.

I am wondering how you made out? Did you go with vidplayvst or MiX16?

Thanks a lot for the tip about VidplayVST. I modified my S Gear The Stealer rackspace to include it . Now I can play with videos and any song or backing tracks.

My first test was for the Pete Thorn Song The Groomed Noodler. Great learning and practicing tool.

would it be possible to open vlc instances by cmd script?

13

Help me, are you trying to open VLC player via an operating script?

14

Correct, run the exe with some command parameters behind it

15

Should that be triggered from GP or do you just need this OS script?

16

yes triggered from GP, I’m now doing this in Cantabile

Hi!!
I have some backing tracks assigned to different rackspaces, which I then link to specific songs.
The goal is to trigger these tracks live, each one including its own metronome (of course, I’ve already configured buttons to start/stop the tracks, adjust the backing track volume, metronome level, etc.).

Now I want to add background videos to go along with these tracks. I’ve been testing the mentioned plugin, but the video won’t start under any circumstances.

From what you achieved, does it work for what I need?

Thanks a lot.

I am using a specialized VJ software called GrandVJ.
But since long time they did not update for Mac.
There are some other alternative like Resolute Avenue.
