OS2L not working on VDJ2020 [fixed]

Hello,

I am trying to use os2l direct with Virtual DJ 2020 and cannot make it work. I was previously using it via Apple Bonjour which did.

And set up help or information about this would be great.

Many thanks
Gary

In VDJ, do you have the os2l option set to "Yes" and the os2lDirectIp blank?
In Showxpress, have Virtual DJ enabled, with the port 7350?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I have tried the VirtualDJ setting you suggest.

But in the Showxpress preferences, if you enable VirtualDJ it tries (and fails) to load Apple Bonjour when the software restarts. And still doesn't receive the beats from VirtualDJ.

maybe try reinstalling Bonjour???

Have you tried Pads (in VDJ) Buttons? Does Showxpress receive the button press from VDJ?

It's supposed to work without Bonjour now.

Sorry, it's been a while since I upgraded. I couldn't remember if it used it or not.

Have you tried the Pads? Does Showxpress respond?

"Bonjour" must be installed (https://youtu.be/pC4bA3Ioy-g?t=10).

Thank you for the video link.

I was under the impression we could now link VirtualDJ directly with OS2L and not have to use Bonjour. Is this coming to ShowXpress?

So far, OSL2 needs "Bonjour".

Ok, thank you for the clarification.
Hopefully, the need for Bonjour will be addressed in a feature update.
