Audio Playback Plugins

If you write an audio playback plugin, here's a good place to link to it.

Technical Details

Install Locations

Below is where Mixxx will look for plugins on each OS:

Linux:

• /usr/local/lib/mixxx/plugins/soundsource/
• /usr/lib/mixxx/plugins/soundsource/
• ~/.mixxx/plugins/soundsource/

Windows:

• %ProgramFiles%\Mixxx\plugins\soundsource\mp4

OSX:

• /Library/Application Support/Mixxx/Plugins/soundsource/

Additional Locations

Tell Mixxx to look for plugins in additional locations by calling it with the --pluginPath argument (for instance, if one wants to be able to play m4a files from a trunk build without installing, call ./mixxx --pluginPath ./linux_build/plugins/linux_build, changing linux_build to the appropriate directory name as necessary). As many --pluginPath arguments may be specified as necessary.

Auto DJ with Beatmatching and Harmonic Mixing

A script, which extends Auto DJ with BPM- and key-based track selection, beatmatching, and basic EQ fade mixing, is available through forums. It works reasonably well, but is technically quirky and unclean; therefore, Mixxx developers are working on ways to offer similar functionality cleanly and directly in Mixxx. If you're impatient, the script might satisfy your needs today.
