Hi,

I'm having a problem with fullscreen visualizations - if I start an album/playlist and then go to fullscreen I get the visualization showing fine, but when the first track finishes and goes to the second track the screen just goes black; the music is playing but there's no visualization. If I exit out of fullscreen and then go back to fullscreen, then the visualization is showing fine. This does not happen in Blue3Wide; the visualization just keeps playing when the track progresses to the 2nd. Curiously, if I start an album/playlist and then go to fullscreen, the visualization shows; I then press 'next' on my remote, the next track will play and the visualization keeps showing (as it should) and the album will keep playing through all the tracks and the visualization will keep going fine. The problem only seems to occur when it goes from the first track to the second. Strange.

This problem occurs with both Milkdrop and Alchemy (Windows Media Player). This problem does not occur in Blue3Wide.

Does anybody else have this problem? Does anybody have a fix?

Cheers!


Actually, it would seem that if I play an album/playlist from the start it's guaranteed to to show a black screen at the first track change, but if I press next (before the screen goes black) it'll go to the next track & the visualization will keep showing for about two or three track changes, but then it will go black eventually (and before too long, and always with a track change)

Thanks for that - didn't work though I'm afraid; screen still goes black/blank at the track change :-(

I'm still on MP1.0.2 - guess I'll try again when the 1.1.0rc1 comes out.

Does fullscreen visualization work for other people?

i have a similar intermittent issue where milkdrop goes from fullscreen down to a little window in the bottom-left corner at track change.

if you have a remote, pressing the red button twice on the remote (presuming its a "Media Center" style remote) will toggle fullscreen off and then on again.

it might also be a resolution issue between milkdrop and windows/mediaportal.
try changing the resolution in the milkdrop config (press "Config" button on visualization tab in MediaPortal's config).

I got it sorted, sort of - I turned OFF 'Gapless Playback', and set Crossfading to .31 seconds; it works! I would prefer to have gapless playback - it's best for Pink Floyd albums and the like (which of course are the best for having the visuals turned on!)
