Hey badubo,

Is there anyway that you can make something for milkdrop to use?

I am using Wnamp Visualation's to show a Spectrum on my VFD which is on the front of the Media Center,

But i would really like some sort of onscreen Visualisation.
Is there something you can recommend as i really like Milkdrop and the XVis doesnt show the aspect ratio correctly on my plasma?

[badubo]

Is there anyway that you can make something for milkdrop to use?

actually, no.

XVis doesnt show the aspect ratio correctly on my plasma?

What do you mean by "doesnt show the aspect ratio", it embed the visualization in the text zone you create

[GFORCE]

there is nothing like milkdrop that is standalone?

[badubo]

there is nothing like milkdrop that is standalone?

I don't know, the visualizations working with xvis are enough for me, so I didn't search for other kind of vis.

[GFORCE]

i tried your plugin, but there is a problem.

If i am going thru the visual's they freeze and wont respond to any command

[badubo]

Is the spectrum working?

What kind of computer do you have? They require a big amount of CPU

[GFORCE]

AMD 64 X2 4800+
there is plenty of power and ram at its deposal.

both of them lock up.

[badubo]

With the XVis skin or another one?
Did you configured the sound card?
I use the bass library, I don't know if it work with AMD 64 based computers

Had the plugin worked once? :
At your first post you said :

the XVis doesnt show the aspect ratio correctly on my plasma

So, I guessed that at least it was working.

Great plugin, but I have one problem - Start and Stop work exactly the same for me... So if I enter screen and it is set to auto start, then press stop (it stops) and exist the screen (and then it auto-stops), it actually starts again in the main menu....

Any way to make start only start and stop only stop?

[badubo]

I don't understand what is "auto start"?

If you leave a screen with a vis started, if the plugin doesn't found a vis zone in the new screen, it will hide the vis. And as soon as you return in a screen with a vis zone, it will restart the vis (but may be I don't understand your problem.

In the xvis skin, start and stop work correctly ?

@GFORCE :

I found a potential dead lock, may be it's your problem, I will correct it this evening and upload the pack

[badubo]

Update : same link

[milanp]

It seems to work OK but only one small bug:

Visual_stop works the same as visual_toggle
it stops the visualzation if it is running and starts the vizualization if it is not running.

[badubo]

Visual_stop works the same as visual_toggle
it stops the visualzation if it is running and starts the vizualization if it is not running.

Effectively, I corrected.
