I've searched the forum and can't find any specific instructions to get Milkdrop onto the RPI to use as a Visualization. Did I miss a thread about this? Has anyone else done it? I apologize if there is some obvious reference somewhere on here that I'm missing but I'd really appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

I would also like to see if this is an option on the RPI. Honestly, I think the winamp forums would be of more assistance if you don't get an answer here.

If Milkdrop uses OpenGL (and I think it does) then it won't work as OpenGL isn't supported on the Pi - OpenGL ES is what the Pi supports.

I don't know about Milkdrop proper, but the open-source alternative used by XBMC platforms is ProjectM, which added OpenGL ES support nearly two years ago iirc.

Thanks for all the info. So where is ProjectM available and is it useable in both RPI and Windoze?

No one have yet updated ProjectM for XBMC and made the visualization compile for ARM and OpenGL ES for it to work on such platforms.

Never mind about an updated DirectX port for Windows.


You can checkout these two other forum threads http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=138602 and http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=166261 for more information on porting ProjectM to ARM and OpenGL ES

You can find a an updated port of ProjectM 2.0.0 visualizer for XBMC here https://github.com/notspiff/visualization.projectm while upstream been bumped to version 2.1.0 since long, and their Git have newer updates than that


Noting here that you would still have to port it to OpenGL ES support and make it compile for ARM in order to get it working on Raspberry Pi, iOS such as Apple TV 2 and iPad, and Android

Again regarding that note that latest upstream code in the Git for ProjectM have already been ported to ARM and OpenGL ES 2.0 for iOS and Android, see http://projectm.sourceforge.net

Milkdrop would be awesome on the PI
