Visualizations are available
One of the things I loved with XBMC when I ran it "back in the day" on my Xbox were the included Milkdrop visualizations. Years go by and I'm now using RPis for media players around the house. I've really enjoyed the simplicity that goes into setting up a new XBian install but was disappointed that there were only two visualizations to choose from. The question of "why?" has come up and the answers one would find tended to be lacking CPU/GPU/memory or no X server. Maybe that was true for the original RPi series, but now that I've got a collection of three RPi2s around the house I thought I'd investigate again.
And I've found some! Over in the OSMC forums, user popcornmix has created a collection of Shadertoy based screensaver and audio visualizations. Haven't tried the screensaver(s) yet but I did play around with the audio visualizations and am happy to have more variety available. Now, these are not without problems...
So, installation. These are the steps I used but depending on how your install is set up you may be able to go about the first few steps differently.
Now, the trick about changing your preset once you have Shadertoy running...
I'm not sure why this is necessary but through experimentation I found these to be reliable steps to change the preset. Now of the list of available presets there are three that do not work. Or maybe I couldn't get them going, I haven't really pushed the issue. The three "broken" presets are conveniently together near the top of the list:
