Req Sonique Visual Plugin

As you might know, Sonique was a media player. It was famous for some of its visual plugins such as :
The Rabbit Hole

Spec'n'Hopp

Surreal Potential Fields

Aorta

Those Sonique Visual Plugins used the svp file format.

It would be nice to write a wrapper for Kodi that could read svp file and render them.
But since Sonique's death a former Sonique developper released another media player called Tuniac that is open source now, it has a visual plugin that can read svp file.

I think that someone could use the Tuniac's wrapper sources to develop a wrapper for Kodi.

svp files are binaries (i.e. renamed .dlls). this will not be portable, but looks totally doable for a windows-only addon.

The internet is amazing, here I was thinking exactly this! The Rabbit Hole on Kodi is my absolute dream (here is the website for the creator of this vis: http://www.feldspar-apps.com).

Sonqiue visual wrappers have been made for other players out there:
- aimp (http://www.aimp2.us/plugins.php)
- quintessential player (http://www.quinnware.com/list_plugins.php?plugin=20)
- Winamp (http://uploadgeneration.info/Winamp/www....02606.html)

There is also BASS_SFX - "an opensource add-on to allow for using winamp, sonique, bassbox, or windows media player visual plugins in your BASS applications". That could also help quite a lot: http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=9488

If someone cleverer than me can get Tripex sorted out as well, I'd be made up!

For anyone who has the ability and the interest to make this a reality, it might be worth checking out the source of Tuniac which is a windows-based media player originally started by the guy who developed sonique. I presume this part of the code is reelvant/
