Topic: Virtual dj not reading files from external hard drive
Hello,
I've recently purchased the Rane performer, one issue I'm having is that virtual dj now takes a lot of time scanning music, and doesn't save the music that has been scanned. So if you scroll away from what was scared then go back to what was already scanned and it'll scan again.
How do I fix this problem.
Thank you

Set analyzeSongsOnView=No if you don't want continued scanning (you'll have to select and explicitly analyze files)

This sounds like there is potentially a permissions issue for writing to the database.xml of the drive containing the music in question.

Questions:

  • What OS are you using?
  • What version of VirtualDJ are you using?
  • Is the VirtualDJ folder accessible on all drives that contain music?
    Is the database.xml file writable (within the VirtualDJ folder)
