    Could somebody please write a few lines about how to get visualizations to work on latest SVN builds ?

    where to get them/what/where to install.
    a small list of steps/links would do

    Thank you.

    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.

    ************** Exception Text **************

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

    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 :)

    Soundspectrum G-Force configuration with MP

    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

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...
