[QUOTE="neverness, post: 652660, member: 59151"] Thanks to all those who helped in this forum/thread, I now have Milkdrop 2.2 working great in MP 1.1.0, ALMOST perfectly! It loads without crashing, thanks to the changes hwahrmann made to MP back in 1.1.0RC5. It responds to the beat, thanks to instructions from lazaru5 (I also needed to UN-tick the "Show Visualization (BASS player only)" tick box to get it responding to the beat! When the tick box is ON, beat does NOT respond!) My full-screen mode works thanks to rkooten's skin code. And Paranoid Delusion and BassFan are right that you seem to need to zap the configuration files and never use the MP Configuration tool to access the Milkdrop config page, or it'll wreck it. Now, I'm missing ONE last piece to make this perfect, which is animated song titles. They used to work way back in the distant past, but I'm not getting them at all in MP 1.1.0 with Milkdrop 2.2 (which is the only configuration I have where Milkdrop works, so it's all I can test with at present). I think that song titles may not be being passed through to Milkdrop by MediaPortal at all. I hand-edited the milk2.ini file that was created after an initial launch, which is very minimal. I added a line that was copied from my WinAmp version of milk2.ini, which was: [CODE]fTimeBetweenRandomSongTitles=2.000000[/CODE] With WinAmp running Milkdrop, this means you get the song title animated on the viz every couple of seconds, which is annoying but really visible for testing. On MediaPortal though, you never see it. I thought that maybe the text/font rendering part might be somehow broken when Milkdrop was running through MediaPortal, so I tested this by enabling the random messages feature of Milkdrop. To do this I copied milk2_msg.ini from AppData/Roaming/Winamp/Plugins into the MediaPortal/MusicPlayer/plugins/visualizations folder and added this line to milk2.ini: [CODE]fTimeBetweenRandomCustomMsgs=2.000000[/CODE] The random text messages DO show up in MediaPortal then, so font rendering is working. That makes me believe that the song titles simply aren't being passed to Milkdrop - it can't display what it doesn't have! Can any MediaPortal devs comment on that? Thanks again for everyone's suggestions on this thread so far, and for making MediaPortal the awesome software that it is! -- neverness [/QUOTE]
