Installing a kodi-visualization package - grandcanyon - 20th Jul, 2023 12:56 PM
I've tried installing the different kodi visualizations but I get an error. I'm running a Rpi3+ with the lastest xbian running Nexus (20.2)
Code:
sudo apt install kodi-visualization-waveform

You can't
You are trying to install something that is not compatible with the xbian-package-xbmc package.
FYI: You can only use the binary addons that are included by default in this package.

Is the FishBMC visualization working? It comes installed with xbian but it doesn't work for me. The kodi log file doesn't say anything about what the issue could be.

What does that mean exactly?
Debug log activated?
Which hardware? << ok, I see: RPi3+
I had tested all the visualisations and screensavers once that can be built for PIs at all and that also work. But that was a while ago. It's possible that something has changed.
I think such things are gross nonsense anyway.

Yes, I activated the debug log and it shows that /usr/local/lib/kodi/addons/visualization.fishbmc/visualization.fishbmc.so.20.2.0 was loaded but when I turn it on nothing happens. It didn't really say what the issue was. I was expecting more info from the debug log.
Staring at a blank screen is a bit boring for me.

Aha
But I can only repeat it. It's a pity to waste time on such crap.
Buy an aquarium, that's much better

I was able to get waveform working by compiling and then installing it as a zip. I tried the spectrum and projectm but the log file said I had a version error even though I used Kodi 20.2 and the visualization of 20.2. Maybe the waveform worked since there was a version 20.2.1 as ver 20.2 also gave me a version error or it could possibly be because I was using kodi from github and not xbian's sources.

Waveform and spectrum are also already included in the xbian-package-xbmc package
I have now made a few tests, result:
fishbmc does not work on a rpi3b+, shadertoy works partially (some shaders work, some don't. why that is, I don't know, probably because of the GLES version).
fishbmc and shadertoy, however, work completely on a raspberry pi4, but a different GLES version (v3) is used, whereas on pi3 it is v2.

I see. Thanks for the info.
