Go to Music / Visualisation and enable them. :-)

ok, here's more information:

1. You need to have BASS enabled as Audio Player
2. You neeed to have some Visalisation installed:
a) Vis that result from a WMP installation
b) Sonique (svp) vis, copied into MusicPlayer\plugins\visualizations
c) install G-Force from Soundspectrum

that's it

thank you.
I downloaded and installed two visualizations:ChromaCloud.svp and CosmicBelt.svp
the files are now in the folder you mentioned.
BASS enabled.

When I select (Mediaportal-configuration) , Music Visualizations(tab) I get this error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

mpviz.dll exists in \\hugin\c$\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal
it is dated 14.11.06 (when I installed latest SVN)

hm, it looks like something is wrong with your install.
please grab the latest svn and try again.
should work.

hwahrmann: Thanks , you were right reinstalling it from scratch, fixed the visualization problem, however, two "new" things happend: WebEPG won't download data, and BASS engine lacks "bass" (low frequency) - I assume it somehow outputs stereo instad of 5.1 , but that's another thread

hwahrmann · 2006-12-18, 09:56

answered the Bass question and WebEPG is somehow not relate to music as well.

Hey guys,

I installed the latest svn build of MP and updated my G-Force viz platinum to 3.5.7. The viz works fine using the bass audio engine in settings but the G-Force panel won't recognize that g-force is used when playing with MP.
Before I did all the g-force configuration (display track info and style within fullscreen g-force). Now this is not possible any more as the g-force panel stays inactive even when the viz is activ in MP.
Do I have to configure the g-force by scripts now?
I prefer using the track info within g-force than overlay from MP.

Any idea or help?

Thanks & Cheers
mpFrank
