[solved] MP2 Switch off visualisation when listening to audio....PLEASE!!! (2 Viewers)

[HTPCSourcer]

Locate the respective skin folder, open FullScreenContentAudio.xaml and delete the complete highlighted audio_viz block MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2 (text between the brackets < >)

@ge2301, can you help out here please. It appears that my interpretation of the xaml and advice is not correct.

The brackets can not remain. The file is corrupted now and the fallback from default skin is used.

Thanks! I have now deleted offending brackets...<>...and ...no more visualisations!!

However...the Wiki entry looks to be incorrect....doesn't make it clear (to me ) that an entire statement, including brackets, needs to be deleted!!?

.the Wiki entry looks to be incorrect

It's not.

Do what is described there and you get the same result. The "<!--" and "-->" are comment delimiters. Anything included between these strings is ignored by the parsing software. This is in case that one decides to restore the spectrum analyzer...

Aaaaghh...thanks for making that clear!
As the saying goes...."you learn something new every day".....and I certainly need to do just that!!

Am I in a minority here?

No, it's my least favourite part of MP2 - though I'm not sure what it will display if we turn it off.

Would seem an ideal candidate to toggle ON/OFF to me!!

Absolutely!!

Yes, not correct with Before block:

HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,-260,0,0"
x:Name="SpectrumAnalyzer" Style="{ThemeResource SpectrumAnalyzerStyle}"/>

It should be:

<mp_audio_viz:AudioSpectrumAnalyzer Grid.Row="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Width="1900" Height="280"
  HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,-260,0,0"
  x:Name="SpectrumAnalyzer" Style="{ThemeResource SpectrumAnalyzerStyle}"/>

It should be:

That is exactly what the Wiki states.
