[QUOTE="sjevtic, post: 834983, member: 118214"] [b]Re: AW: Visualisations in 1.2Beta[/b] I've also noticed the slowdown when MediaPortal isn't the currently selected window. But, even when it is, it seems that the performance of Milkdrop 2 (v2.24, actually) in MediaPortal (v1.2.2) just doesn't match the performance of it in Winamp; there's a certain sense of speed and fluidity that's just lacking. It's hard for me to quantify what's going on here, as I haven't been able to pull up the FPS display in Milkdrop 2, since the Milkdrop 2 shortcut keys seem to be disabled under MediaPortal. Under Winamp though, the FPS rate varies widely from 25 or so to 50 and beyond at times. It's running on a pretty powerful machine, so I doubt it's CPU- or graphics-bound, either. As a side note, how do I activate Milkdrop 2's FPS display and song info on track change in MediaPortal? When I set up Milkdrop 2 in MediaPortal, I copied it straight over from Winamp, preferences and all, so the configuration should be identical. Is MediaPortal somehow throttling it? I'm a bit perplexed by the "Target FPS" option in MediaPortal Configuration -> Music -> Visualizations and its maximum setting of 25. I've tried setting the value to 50 in MediaPortal.xml, unsurprisingly to no effect. What does this do? Thanks in advance. Sasha [/QUOTE]
