Some interesting open-source OpenGL visuals over here:

http://vsxu.com/

Anyone know if this would be possible as an XBMC add-on?

hi, I'm author of VSXu. if XMBC can provide audio and an OpenGL surface it should be dead easy to integrate VSXu. If anyone knowledgable about these things want to come chat (IRC), we're in #vsxu on freenode..

My (admittedly limited) understanding is that OpenGL is available on Linux systems (and some Windows ones), there are already a number of OpenGL visualizations for XBMC - OpenGLSpectrum and NastyFFT being two that spring to mind…

I'm afraid I won't be of any use myself, but I certainly hope some of our more talented forum members (or developers) get in touch with you and that XBMC's future can include VSXu - the more acronyms the merrier IMHO! Wink

Windows switched from OpenGL to DirectX 9 quite a while back. I don't think the OpenGL windows version is beeing updated but then it might not need any updates. I noticed that there is a linux version of VSXu so maybe a linux OpenGL port would be possible to create.

For whoever takes a stab at porting this the old 'look at existing visualizers to understand how to create one' is probably still the way to go.

Are we talking about XMBC here? the GUI? if OpenGL for that is not available under windows, yes it's a problem.

We develop on linux (it's the best platform for debugging etc) and cross-compile for windows, so both should be possible.

Yea, probably best. I'll take a look and see what I can come up with Smile

Yes, the default installation of XBMC for windows uses DirectX.

Good luck!
