Milkdrop Visualization for XBMC?

please get it loaded into ram, if it doesn't take too much space

haha, you're funnay

dont know if and when it will ever be done, but here's 2 solutions if you cant take the spinup/down

1. lock it on a single preset!
2. dont use milkdrop!

the music osd and the preset chooser is fantastic guys ! :thumbsup:
one little thing, when you choose a preset and hide the preset window and bring it back up again, list starts at the top, could it be changed so it keeps the currently selected preset ?

okay this post is gonna make me sound crazy  :o

has anyone else noticed that the milkdrop vis from the 14th is not responding to the music like it used to? what i mean is that milkdrop always "lived" the music and responed to the music & beats in a dynamic way. now it just looks flat .

it is either not responding to the music or it is so far out of sync that it appears as though it is not in time.

i have been watching this this new build of the vis for over an hour and i am 100% sure it is not right. i even have a pre 14th build on another xbox that looks and reacts like before.

just play a track and watch the subtle movements that were perfectly in time to the music have gone.

please someone tell me it is not my eyes and it is broken  

cheers

agreed.

but this is really amazing work. great job!

i've got a question about choosing presets to view...

when i'm in vis mode, i open the preset window to choose a preset but all i get in the screen is "there are no presets to choose from" or something like that. same goes with all the other visualisations.

do i have to extract the zips?

i'm using a 5,111 preset pack btw but still have the 436 preset pack in /milkdrop

your milkdrop.xml is corrupted. you'll need to replace it.

when you do something that causes writing to the xml, it can become corrupted.

thanks nuka1195! i snatched up the milkdrop.xml & milkdrop.vis from cvs, went to transfer them, and seen that the xml & vis i downloaded were bigger than the ones i already had.

now everything works perfectly! :kickass:

thanks again! :bowdown:

some updates to milkdrop:

Quote:- 30-05-2005 added: wa51-presets(265).zip, now default presetpack in milkdrop. contains presets 20fps > faster (tested in pal720x576)
- 30-05-2005 added: milkdrop - can now select different preset packs from the settings menu. (defaults to looking in visualisations\milkdrop for zips and folders)
- 30-05-2005 fixed: milkdrop - xml settings file was getting corrupted.
- 19-09-2005 added: milkdrop now supports stereo 3d mode.
- 09-07-2005 fixed: milkdrop - audio conversion fixed and cache size for preset loading increased.

the new presetpack consists of only the new milks in winamp 5.1, none from the older winamp pack. some have been removed due to being too slow (ones faster than 20fps is included), some have been tweaked (xbmc speed tweak).
old pack remains in cvs, you can now change presetpack using visualisation osd settings

enjoy

i just want to send a big thanks out for the new visulizations options in the current xbmc build. i just upgraded from an older copy of xbmc and am blown away with all the variety and quality of the visuals! thanks again!

:bowdown:

hey, this is not really a request but thought it would be best asked in this thread. as it is possible to get a live audio source into xbmc (through mmixer mic or communicator) would it be possible to get the visuals to sync to the live audio source?

i use the xbox in my vj setup mostly for runnig videos and pictures on demand (love the web interface for ease of use on the night) but some of the visuals coming through are of great quality, i write my scenes for a similar visuals program called r4. i was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this situation for me, ive been reading through pages and pages of threads seeing if it was possible to link up an external sound card for this purpose via usb, but saw its not possible, my last chance or hope, is that through the mmixer mix or headset this is possible.

thx in advance guys, amazing work you do here ! much respect
