AW: Re: Visualisations in 1.2Beta

Thanks for the instructions; I was able to get MilkDrop 2.2 working with my install of MediaPortal.

However, I am noticing one small little issue with MilkDrop right now. For some reason, and I think I had this same problem in previous releases, the MilkDrop visualization doesn't seem to react to the music. It just cycles through the visualizations like normal, but they don't react to anything as it is playing. I could see a huge difference just by running MilkDrop in MediaPortal and when I ran it on my PC.

I was just curious if anyone else notices this on their setup, or if maybe I just have something funny going on on my end. Thanks!

I too am having the same problem, I have MPDisplay2 installed and that the Graphic Equaliser on my secondary display reacts to the music with no problem, milkdrop does not react at all. It just cycles through as though the songs are silent.

that problem come from the Renderengine
drawing of MP Window used many frames and lost no room for visualization.
that will never work drawing visualization in MP of a Device Contex (DC)

i have allways 60 Frames

Milkdrop renders fine and displays the visualisations very well, it is just not detecting the beat..

with FRAPS I get a frame rate of about 25 to 30 FPS when milkdrop is running, enough for it to look good - if only it reacted to the beat!

BASS, as I mentioned previously, the graphic equaliser on the MP2 plugin reacts to sound no problem.

    OK - I've had a good old play with this now and can confirm that the vis seems to not react to the music.
    I am going to do a little more playing though, I have a couple of ideas as to the problem, and I'll post back here once I have more info :)

    Working on it...

    MP2 appeared later, and it was not published in the general documentation, they immediately made a section for it, so everything that is not in the MP2 section is for MP1, but due to multiple changes and migrations, something could have been lost, but the documentation is available. Also for MP1 you can just take any existing plugin...

    My bad, I misunderstood your post then :) Yeah, these things can get complicated really quickly. I remember scrapping some of my skin-improvement-ideas because I couldn't get these cross-dependencies sorted out.

    I'm running 2.5 with the WMC skin. I have .mp4 files, along with the related .srt files in the same folder. I can watch the movies just fine. In past versions of MP, like 2.4x, I could press the More Info button on my remote twice, and on the second press, an option for showing/choosing the subtitles was listed. I'd select the...

    This is for the tvserver, the iptv part. It used to only support m3u files containing all the channels, but now you can use a m3u8 too. Usually you get an m3u8 from your iptv provider, but there are also some that can be found on the internet
