Winamp Visualisations. Finally :-) (1 Viewer)

[Andreas]

I have similar problems like GagReflex.
For me Milkdrop only works the first time in the visualisation configuration. After that it's impossible to get access to the visualisation tab without the MP config crash.
And I have the latest svn build offcoure.
The visualisation works but I have to configure it manually.

One other thing. Is it possible to get the mouse cursor to dissapear in fullscreen when winamp vizualisation is running?
I have configure the mouse cursor so it dissapear for mediaportal and that works.

Just installed the latest build.. And it's dropping out to the desktop when I choose Milkdrop (Beta Version you posted) for me too..

Thanks..
John

latest build ?
i use MediaPortal-svn--04-12-2007--13-04-Rev14018.exe

and use this plugins
no problem to this time

remove the config.ini from milkdrop and check again

Are you running a release build? It does not work yet, not enough to be considered 'finished' in any possible meaning of the word.

Two other things I've come across today:

- vis_tp.dll (TwistedPixel) crashed twice causing full blown windows error.
- mouse cursor never disappeared, except when visualisation minimised

I've tried a bunch of things to get it to behave in Configuration, and it feels pretty futile.

Once I get the visualisation to work, joy of joys, it still doesn't react to music.

i have not say is finish now..
hwahrmann have a problem i thinks

any people say work not or appears errors

please which error ?
Developer can nothing make when no Error log to send for him.

Which error appears?
only you say it's crash is not enough info for a Developer..
-----------------------------

Ich habe nicht gesagt das es fertig ist.
Ich denke hWahrmann hat ein problem.

Einige Leute hier sagen das es nicht funktioniert bzw. Fehler auftreten.
Welche Fehler ?

Ein Programmierer kann mit solchen aussagen nichts anfangen
ohne das man ihm detailierte informationen über den Fehler mitteilt.
Die aussage es stürzt ab !!
Das sind nicht genügend infos das man damit Arbeiten könnte.

Die Plugins müssen doch Fehlermeldungen ausgeben
bzw.. MediaPortal wenn es abstürzt.

Gruss BassFan

EDIT
i use Bass_Vis in my own app and have not any problem or Error with it.

 

[kenwonders]

EDIT2: Not going there....

Here is the last line in configuration.log

:12:41.897838 [Info.][Config Main]: Visualization Manager: Initializing TwistedPixel v2.0 visualization...

The file ends there.

EDIT: Your application looks very functional btw, nice one. Does your visualisation react correctly to music, and does your Mediaportal react correctly to music?

My Application yes!
Mediaportal NO..

i'am self a developer and think's hWahrmann fixed it in the next time
my problem is your language(english) to hard for me.

i can only write what i have for problem on my machine
and have no interesst to altercate.

i hope you can understand What I mean

Kenwonders and others, who have problems with Vis.

I'm running with a Release build, that i grabed now from the Forum. SVN 14058.
No problems at all, with various Winamp Plugins. Tried Geiss 2, Milkdrop, Beatharness, TwistedPixel, Animator 2, AVS. All of them work without any crashes.

Please start in Config first with a Non-winamp Vis.
When you scroll in the list, try not to be too fast, to give the Vis some time for changing. (tough i fixed that last week, but who knows).
If it still don't work, i need to have the EXACT steps, what you're trying.

 

[hwahrmann]

As for Music not running in Sync.
With the exception of Soinque plugins, where i already know what needs to be done, the Vis and Music are in sync.

Make sure that you run MP in fullscreen and that you have checked the option "Mediaportal always on top". otherwise the hidden winamp window has focus and the framerate will drop drastically.

kenwonders:
yes, i consider the winamp vis support "finished" in every possible meaning of the word.
with the latest changes, i've commited last Wednesday, it works perfect for me on several different PCs.


Re. the Cursor problem. just noticed that too, will have a look at it, once i find some time

As always I appreciate your time, but again I'm still having problems.

While in Mediaportal issues:

- Find suitable track with virtually nothing but 4/4 beat: DJ Misjah and JD Tim - Access

- Play in Mediaportal using Alchemy: Single line moving about, two smallish dots blowing in the wind, occasional tiny flower in center.
- Play in Windows Media Player using Alchemy: Line and balls pulse in time with bass drum
- Play in Mediaportal using Twisted Pixel: No notable rhythm response, strange looking waveform with hard clipping/drop offs evident.
- Play in WinAmp using Twisted Pixel: Non stop party crazy bananas fun.

hi!

have got the milkdrop to run very smoothly now when playing music, but im having trouble playing movies when the viz. is activated in config.

Every 10 minutes or so when playing a movie im getting about 1fps or so (extremely lagging picture) for about 20 seconds .... Have tried everything, reinstalling mediaportal updated to last SVN - nothing works, except disabling the music visualization....then everything works fine... (the only viz im using is milkdrop...)

anyone else with the same problem?
