Is it possible to route the video output of VDJ [showing currently playing selection] to OBS as a scene source?

I did try watching the tut video recommended above but it's really confusing and I was unable to make much sense of it, even with the CC on the English is really bad and the words don't make sense. He's also all over the screen with the cursor hitting wrong things. It appears there is a way to do a window capture in OBS from VDJ but I was unable to accomplish it.

I feel like I am close here but no cigar yet.
So far in VDJ I've got the video output showing with my LP art, track info and the plugin showing spinning platter and song title. In OBS I've selected 'Window Capture' as the scene source and when that opens up, in 'Windows Capture Properties' I've selected 'virtualdj.exe: video' as the source, but I'm still getting a blank window.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if what I am trying to achieve is even possible?

did you try spout plugins (windows)?
Both VDJ and OBS have one now
for VDJ https://github.com/leadedge/Spout2/releases
for OBS https://github.com/Off-World-Live/obs-spout2-source-plugin/releases
for mac this is Syphon (I don't know the actual status)

Keep it simple.. Just need to use Capture Window in OBS sources...
And select the VirtualDJ video window ... Thats it ;-)
Can scale to full screen, combine with other sources etc

You are close for sure.. hehe
Looking at your post, just try different capture method in the properties, the Windows 10 one probably works great for you ;-)

Excellent, thanks Rune! You are right - I have to keep it simple! Appreciate the help... I will mess around with these settings tomorrow and let you know how they worked out.

Hi Rune
Okay I tried this and it did work - I got the full VDJ display to show up. Is there a way to get only the VDJ video output window to show up? I don't need the whole screen, just the video window. I tried cropping the full screen down to just the VDJ video window but it's blurry.

I looked at these but it's unclear to me what the plug-ins are for?

You have to select the video window... "VirtualDJ.exe: Video"
And, the video window needs to be open

Got it! Success! It was really acting funny I think the system resources were maxed out - but now it looks like it's working fine! Thanks Rune!

Is there a way to do this on macOS?

You MUST connect an external display and select “show windows with empty names”, in the Properties tab…
