[multimedia: visual.] xmms-rootvis

FoPref · 2004-09-09 01:55:10

Hi

I've written an XMMS visualization plugin on myself. I would like arch users to enjoy it.

Following is the URL where to find PKGBUILD, filelist and the pre-built package.
(If you trust my code you perhaps also trust my package anyway and don't want to build yourself)

http://fopref.meinungsverstaerker.de/xm … archlinux/

You can find details / README at
http://fopref.meinungsverstaerker.de/xmms-rootvis/
and screenshots at
http://fopref.meinungsverstaerker.de/xm … reenshots/

It's still alpha (works great but no configuration frontend), but I would be pleased to hear your feedback about it.

Regards,
Ford Prefect

This really kicks ass

dp · 2004-09-09 12:24:06

this viz really rocks!!!!

here my configs

[rootvis]
stereo=0
geometry_posx=0
geometry_posy=0
geometry_orientation=1
geometry_height=250
geometry_space=1
bar_width=4
bar_shadow=0
bar_falloff=5
peak_enabled=1
peak_falloff=1
peak_step=5
cutoff=180
div=1
linearity=0.25
fps=50
bar_color_1=#B1BBE9
bar_color_2=#817BE9
bar_color_3=#2C3FD0
bar_color_4=#7684D0
bar_shadow_color=#002850
peak_color=#FFE100
debug=0

one bug: if you set div=0 it crashes

one strange behaviour: if the dimensions are out of screen (stereo) i get this

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x3c27)!

and need to kill xmms

dp · 2004-09-09 12:27:39

and it also works with amarok

GREAT!!! 8)

with the new transperency in xorg, it would be really cool having this viz overlayed over the other windows with e.g. 80% transperency - but this is future ;-)

dp · 2004-09-09 18:51:49

xmms-rootvis -> extra

onami · 2004-09-09 19:09:52

Very nice !!!
I like this !!!

FoPref · 2004-09-09 21:53:32

Hi

Your configs are cool. Could you show a screenshot of it in action? That would be nice.

It would also crash on many other mischosen variables. I don't know if you want to implement value checking as this is the job of the configuration frontend, which is in progress, anyway. Nobody should then have to edit the file by hand..

That strange behaviour is indeed strange and I can't reproduce it. Could you give me video settings and the appropriate config where this happens?

Thank you very much for including the package into the repo

You've probably found a bug in XMMS, please visit
http://bugs.xmms.org and fill out a bug report.

Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x222e)!

this is with this settings:

[rootvis]

bar_color_3=#cdf62b
bar_color_4=#e6ff64

disabling stereo and everything works again - it's the stereo thing that makes trouble for this config - i must find out, what config parameters make trouble

dp · 2004-09-09 23:29:26

here a stereo config that works in most of the cases:

[rootvis]

bar_color_2=#817BE9
bar_color_3=#2C3FD0

after 15' of experimenting, measuring and color-matching i finally got a good setting for me: it's for UXGA-xfce4-large-panel-vertical-left optimized ;-)

what about making this a standalone program for alsa or esd or arts or other sound-processer? it would be cool to have it for every sound i/o on a machine (movies, line-in ...)

Loki|muh · 2004-09-10 05:13:47

I can't see your Screenshots

it's a site with only freelinuxhost.com on it. Nothing else

it's a free server, and they put it down sometimes - maybe it will work later (my other website is full)

Loki|muh · 2004-09-10 13:23:37

put your config in my xmms, and its really cool

great work!

oscar · 2004-09-11 13:58:56

I don't like xmms / winamp / beepmp, but I might reconsider my opinion with this plugin...

freaking amazing!
great work

great work

this plugin also works with amarok (however, somehow it is not always in sync with musik - especially using gstreamer as backend)

FoPref · 2004-09-12 15:14:21

there is a patch out now, as if compiled with the wrong compiler, it segfaults.

this could also be your stereo issue. it isn't about the config then but only about having it crashing unter certain circumstances. The segfault appearing ofter "Setting Line.." is an indicator, too.

If you would like, you could try out:
http://fopref.meinungsverstaerker.de/xm … tch-0.0.6a

or generally see the files in
http://fopref.meinungsverstaerker.de/xmms-rootvis/

0.0.7 is on it's way, but I have few time left..
