If Virtual DJ won't open locate the settings.xml file the Virtual DJ folder, delete it and then open again.

OK, if you're using the plugin with v8:
Documents\VirtualDJ\Plugins\Milkdrop Presets -- this contains the .milk preset files
Documents\VirtualDJ\Plugins\VideoEffect\Milkdrop.dll -- this is the plugin. This can be in *either* VideoEffect or Visualisations.
If you are getting an incompatible error then you are likely running an old version. I would recommend you remove everything milkdrop and just reinstall from the current installer.
As Dan says, we made it even easier to wipe the VDJ settings by taking them out of the registry and placing them in a file. You're also not being forced to use v8 ;)

You don't need an uninstall but if you've gone that route - don't delete your files.
Just follow my instruction above.

Well the good news is that there is a improvement in sound and visual resolution,crystal clear! the bad is that I keep getting this Incompatiable message/error and why me? of all people? SOOO I tried my GFORCE svp plug and it works better than ever...sooo what wrong?...I find it odd that I got sonique working when a certain lunatic is screaming "Death to sonique" and I wason the Milkdrop bandwagon from the start .anyway...also the Hercules Asio drivers appeared under config and working.whats not is the deck swap code I have on the beatlock & cue select buttons. so what the code for that? or start another thread?

Hey Scott, will this plugin react to an external audio feed? Can I use the record in for example? I mix with an external mixer and can use the record out to feed into the available input on my sound card. I would like the plugin to react to anything coming from my mixer (my own mix, a guest DJ, a live band, etc.

I can verify that Milkdrop works on v8 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

Running VDJ 8 with the milkdrop plugin on Win 8.1 x64 ....... working perfectly here :-)

Just a note to Scott. V1.2 is being false detected as a virus, by certain virus software. Trend Micro Office is one.

Thanks for the heads up.

Scott, will you be adding an option for "Favourites" in the plugin ?
Posted Wed 14 May 14 @ 8:32 am
SBDJ
The Milkdrop preset format and engine support a 'Rating' system which I will probably implement at a later date :)

Plugin updated to v1.21:
* Added High Quality mode (requires you to Stop/Start the plugin in v7 at the moment, v8 should change automatically)
* Added extra error trapping in plugin load to assist with 'incompatible' errors
* Fixed an issue whereby parameters could be attempted to be set before the plugin has fully initialised
* Improved text quality in GUI

Scott meant to say V1.21 above, FYI Scott still false positive.

Edited, thanks!
Not much I can do about the false positive, perhaps I might try a different installer...
