ProjectM not working - rcpoinho - 8th Jan, 2013 04:55 AM

hi all.

I'm new to the world of raspberry and xbian, but i'm using xbmc a long time now in a windows system and the music playback visualizations like milkdrop always worked. now with the raspberry the visualization "projectm" all i can get is a black screen.

Is there any way to make it work ,like "OpenGL Spectrum" and "Waveform" that works?

Thank you.

My system:
Raspberry 512MB
XBian 1.0 Alpha 4

Doesn't OpenGL spectrum require OpenGL?

Could you also post your /home/xbian/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log here (post it on pastebin.com and link it here) ?

this visualization is disabled in XBMC for RPi
I dont know exact reason, but as @Curly mentioned it might be cos of that Wink

Yup, it is indeed not included in XBMC for the raspberry pi.

yup, as I said there have to be reason they have removed it
I thing one of the reasons might be that it need quite a lot of GPU power to run this on full screen

ok, that's too bad.
Thank you all for the quick reply.

I think this is the real reason. there is an open gl that works in the settings, but its just a wave bar grid thing. its ok, but it would be nice to have more. that waveform only vis is painful to watch... it must run off the cpu because its so choppy. the open gl one is 3d, colorful and smooth.

if anything, I wish it would just go into a picture frame mode and randomly cycle through my pictures. make them slowly drift and have nice transitions...
