The project is still in development and is not yet ready for production use.\n\n\u003e **Disclaimer:** This project is not affiliated with AlphaTheta/Pioneer DJ Corp. or its related companies in any way and has been developed independently. Vizlink to Python is licensed under the [MIT license][license-link]. The maintainers of this project are not liable for any damages to your data, as this is an experimental project.  \n\u003e **Editor's Warning:** Any tool that is still under development should be tested thoroughly before relying on it for your next big DJ set. There is also a possibility that Pioneer DJ could close the loopholes that allow this to work in a future firmware update to CDJs – so update with caution.\n\n---\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n1. Introduction\n2. Requirements\n3. Installation\n4. Usage\n5. Equipment\n\n---\n\n## Introduction\n\nInspired by a section in the great manual of Beat Link Trigger about [writing played songs in a text file][2], I want to work with analyzed data from Rekordbox with my played songs from the [Pioneer XDJ-XZ][3] in combination with standard DMX lighting software.\n\nAnother option is to show the playlist live on a website.\n\n---\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Fully ProDJLink compatible hardware\n- Vizlink\n- Python 3.x\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone this repository: `git clone https://github.com/hfanieng/vizlink-to-python`\n2. Install the Python dependencies:\n\n```bash\npip install flask\npip install json  \npip install threading\n```\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\nRun the Python script: `python main.py`\n\n---\n\n## Equipment Used for the Project\n\nAll tests were run with the reliable [Pioneer XDJ-XZ][3] with ❤️ and 🤩 in my hometown [Hagen-Wehringhausen][4].  \n![XDJ-XZ][5]\n\n---\n\n## Structure\n\nThis is a Python library for converting data from a ProDJ-Link device via [Vizlink][1] into Python objects.\n\n```plaintext\nvizlink-to-python/\n├── data/\n│   ├── beat.json\n│   ├── device.json\n│   ├── error.json\n│   ├──
