LINUX ONLY (for now)
Description PictureIt is supposed to make listening to music more elegant and less flashy. The idea is to take random images YOU selected and display them alongside with a simple spectrum at the bottom. Dead simple right? - Features
- ToDo

Not that anyone reads those updates but still... So again... No, this project is not dead, yes I haven't worked on it for a while (worked on other project though, so I haven't been lazy) and yes, it looks like things are starting to gear up again So look out for future, real updates Update 2016-02-23 09:18 Important bugfix! Yesterday I pushed a bugfix release to the repo which essentially fixes Kodi crashing when a new track starts. I'm really sorry it took me that long to realize it's actually my vis crashing Kodi :/ Update 2015-12-07 10:11 Another quick progress update.. So far everything is going really well and I'm pretty happy with everything I got so far Everything I wanted/needed to do is pretty much there and I'm currently implementing a third effect (don't expect something fancy though. I just made a simple Slide and now I'm working on a Flip effect) Also, there are 4 image display modes now:
Depending on how badly I want the new version to be released, I might implement the old fft library again but honestly I'd rather not ^^ If you don't know what fft is, don't worry. It's something I need to make the spectrum animate in a pretty way. There is a project I'm waiting for to be finished which will make the Spectrum really awesome and oooh boy am I excited about it Update 2015-11-30 11:18 Thought I let everyone (who's actually interested and reads the updates) that I'm still working on the vis. The current release was the very first draw so to speak. Now I'm trying and make things real nice (the source I mean). All this work will pay off in the future as it allows to e.g. "easily" add new transition effects etc. (For now it's only the crossfade one, but I'll work on others once the base is finished). If you like reading silly commit-messages and want to see what I'm up to, be my guest and head over to: https://github.com/linuxwhatelse/PictureIt/commits/master Yes, PictureIt, the core of everything, is now it's own project (a static library) and can be used wherever you can display OpenGL That's all I wanted to so I think ^^ Update 2015-11-25 18:14 I decided to host the wallpaper collection I made for myself. If you are interested, you can find them here Update 2015-11-20 19:40 New version 0.1.0 important notes!!!
Update 2015-11-02 19:03 REPOSITORY RE-INSTALLATION REQUIRED!!! Due to a change of mind I switch from uncompressed to compressed packages in the repository. Therefore you have to reinstall the repository. You can download it from here Update 2015-10-30 18:27 Server is back up again. Took a little longer than expected ^^ Update 2015-10-30 14:50 My server will be down for maintenance for ~1 hour so the repository will not be available/reachable Update 2015-09-01 15:05 I've created a repository so the visualization can be installed/updated easier: linuxwhatelse repository Installation instructions have been updated accordingly. RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - tadly - 2015-09-08 Reserved RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - psysfaction - 2015-10-05 Oh that sounds like exactly what I am looking for. Most of the visuals are too busy for my taste. Will this work for Openelec?

Openelec is linux (based on debian I think?)... so if you can install SOIL, it should. Let me know how it goes RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - zag - 2015-10-06 Awesome! Will check it out. Finally someone made a pretty vizulization with pictures Feature requests: - Multi colour spectrum - Ken Burns effect picture - Options for different height spectrums - Fading on spectrum? - Match fanart to artist from the music db RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - tadly - 2015-10-19 (2015-10-06, 10:17)zag Wrote: Awesome! Will check it out. crap.. totally forgot to replay ^^ - Probably will come - Not sure on that one. I'm still fairly new to OpenGL and this might be a little complicated ^^ - will come at some point - Fading? So it fades together with the image you mean? - Do I have access to that from a c++ addon? Than that might be possible IF I also get some form of information about the aspect-ratio I really don't feel like trying to figure out the aspact-ratio of an image using c++ In terms of the spectrum a loooooot will change/be added once I got proper signal-processing in place (someone from team-kodi actually is helping me with that but I don't want to spoil any names) So basically, a lot is planned but first I need the spectrum to animate properly and in a way I'm happy with it. If this is not possible than... well.. not sure how much future effort I'll put into this vis. Probably not too much though :/ RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - losbyers - 2015-11-08 I wanted to leave a comment. I was trying to get the Pandora Addon to work with a random image type of screensaver. The Pandora Addon doesn't trigger the screen saver, but it does allow for Visualizations. So I tried your PictureIT. I wanted to note that if I run the PictureIT Addon with the spectrum turned on Pandora would just crash and go back to the home screen. With the spectrum turned off it works and uses the PictureIT Visualizer. What is the difference between the image interval and transition time? I was assuming at X interval there would be some sort of transition to the new image, like a fade out. You don't really explain what they do. It would be nice to have the ability to just say how many seconds you want for the transition as I would like 10 seconds as a minimum not 1 minute instead of having a slider. I did try hacking the Addon settings and setting the transition time to .5 and while it worked and didn't crash it was pretty random at how long an image was displayed. Thanks for working on this.

I was trying to get the Pandora Addon to work with a random image type of screensaver. In terms of pandora crashing, that seems really odd. I'd have to test that myself to see what's going on there... The settings:
What I like to do for example is enable both, Update on new track and Update by interval and set the interval to 5 min. Usually a song takes about 3-4 minutes and therefore those do not interfere with each other. Hope that cleared things up a bit RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - bry - 2015-11-08 awesome idea! I used this program in the past to grab a ton of images from National Geographic in the past which would compliment this very well. http://apps.nozavi.com/natgeo-wallpaper-downloader-overview was last updated in 2010 so there are about 5 years worth of newer photos that are not available via this program if anyone knows of a newer version or an alternative that can pull the rest of the natgeo collection please let me know. thank you! RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - TheNinja - 2015-11-11 Hi, thanks for the visualization! But I've got a problem regarding the .so file. In the GUI Kodi says something about can't load DLL, the logs have the following message: 13:11:57 T:3033679680 ERROR: Unable to load /home/<user>/.kodi/addons/visualization.pictureit/visualization.pictureit.so, reason: /home/<user>/.kodi/addons/visualization.pictureit/visualization.pictureit.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 I guess it's a 32 bit .so file, since I'm using a 64 bit ubuntu. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks. RE: PictureIt - Kodi Visualization - tadly - 2015-11-11 (2015-11-11, 14:38)TheNinja Wrote: Hi, Ahm.. I'm using 64bit as well and have been using this vis on ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 (now I'm on arch) and it works. You installed it via the linuxwhatelse repo I guess? What ubuntu version are you on and are you sure you got a 64-bit ubuntu? To verify follow: http://askubuntu.com/a/41334 If you run following command in a terminal: Code: file /home/<user>/.kodi/addons/visualization.pictureit/visualization.pictureit.so Thanks for reporting btw.

This will have to wait a little longer... At least until I'm back home.

I have a simple bash script which you can use to build it. A quick step-by-step guide:
