Is it possible to use VLC as a DJ software? [trace]

Postby player888 » 21 Oct 2023 17:54

Hello,

Now, I am able to make VLC to play a list of tracks(playlist) via command line, VLC will play track by track but I want to start playing the next track before the current track finished or I mean i want to mix the two tracks (current track and next track) before current track done. Is it possible to do that like DJ software Mixxx using command line options, etc?

No, VLC cannot blend playback of 2 files. We might be able to do a sort-off gapless playback (so there is no noticeable silence between 2 tracks) for version 4, but DJ software like cross-over is out-of-scope for now.
