fishBMC

You're right, fische is something entirely different. It's a standalone sound visualization program. fishBMC was forked off fische and the only thing they have in common today is the basic principle of the animation.

I strongly suspect OpenGL and Direct3D cannot coexist at runtime - but then again, I don't know much about Windows and/or DirectX.

no, gl and dx cannot coexist. wingl is deprecated, if it works, it's by chance..

I have received a report that fishBMC fails to start on XBMC11. There's an undefined reference to ADDON_Create().

Appears Create() has been renamed Confused

Is there some kind of summary of Addon API changes?

**spiff** · 2011-09-02 14:48

not really, but just add ADDON_ in front of all them methods and you're good.

we had to due to namespace clashes.

idefixs · 2011-09-02 17:46

Would it be sufficient to leave the methods as they are, and write wrappers with the ADDON_ naming scheme? This way compatibility with XBMC10 would not be broken...

tried loading the fishBMC from the repo provided by your site as it looks nifty, but upon running, I get this:

The repo only provides 64-bit binaries. You are apparently running 32-bit. You can download and manually install the 32-bit version from 26elf.at

I'd be happy to help test and run this on windows 7 x64, if a binary were to be released. I don't have the dev skills to do the port, but I am a software tester and would be happy to run it through its paces.

First builds for 11.0:

Just installed this on my OpenELEC HTPC and it's really nice.

Thanks.
