Topic: Will this work?
<skin oninit="repeat_start 'titleWatcher' 1000ms -1 & set '$nowPlaying' `deck master get_title`"/>

I can seem to get this to work. It looks like the skin's oninit does not fire but I can't figure out why. Thank you.

try
<onload="script"/>
 
The <init /> key is fired when the skin is selected/loaded after another skin has been selected/loaded first.

The <onload /> key is fired every time the skin loads, thus even after reselecting the same skin, or starting VirtualDj e.t.c.
 
Will this work for a video skin? It doesn't seem to.
 
<onload action="set_var 'MILONGA_NAME' 'apple'" />

This does not set the variable when I load/start the video skin.
 
It does work fine here.
Please note that since you're using a "local" variable, the variable is set on default deck, which upon startup at least is deck 1
<onload action="set_var &apos;testme&apos; &apos;oook&apos;"/>
 
Aaah, no <oninit /> and <onload /> keys are not valid for VIDEO skins.
 
OK. But you just pointed me in a good way. I can set the variable from a button or keystroken and then continue to read the variable in the skin.
 
Probably onload should work for video skins too, so will see if it can be supported in the future
