Video association not working

alixx_J

Hi there, this might be something obvious that i've missed, but the video overlay feature of VSL is something that I've used for a few years, therefore all the MP3s i have in scratch live have videos associated in VSL. I've demoed ME and love it! The only deal breaker is that If an mp3 file has a video associated to it in VSL, ME won't drop in the video overlay. I found out that i can remove the video overlays from VSL, but this will be a 1 by 1 job in order to get the ME overlay working right, which would take forever. I'm very keen to buy, but can't afford the time to go back and un-associate all my MP3s in VSL. Is it possible to have ME video overlay AND VSL overlay working, or is it one or the other? Thanks, Alex

MixEmergency can use Video-SL's associations (and for now this is the recommended method to use when using Scratch Live 2.0 or higher).

Whenever I play a file using an mp3 or iTunes track with a previously associated video in VSL, the media bank doesn't load a video and nothing shows up on the screens. I have the options in me's setup right, as the media bank works perfect on mp3s that I haven't associated videos to in the past, is there still something I'm missing?

I'm using version 2.1.1

It sounds as though it will be loading whatever video you've used as the VSL association. Have you moved any of the videos that you were using as associated videos (I'm just wondering if the video that it is trying to load has changed location).

No videos have been moved, as when inplay in vsl, the associations work just fine. That's what's throwing me.

I've been getting messages in the error box saying: Error:failed to open media followed by the assosiation file. Could this be to do with videos being on an external and mp3s on internal? It's bizzare that the media bank works when there's no previous association, but fails to open the media that was attached in scratch live

It looks as though MixEmergency has tried to open whatever video it is that is associated with the audio, but it has been unable to open it. Can you e-mail me your MixEmergency.log file (you can find it by going to your Movies folder, then into the MixEmergency folder within it) so that I can have a look at it? ....contact details are here: http://www.inklen.com/contact/

I've sent the file over, thanks! Appreciate the help...
