I compiled it for Linux and it seems to work well (although quite a few Winamp Milkdrop2 presets didnt work)

Was pretty easy to compile so I am sure it would be easy to integrate!

(Basically it would involve removing bucket loads of the gui code from projectm)

Then integrate !

Nope. Firstly, XBMC uses libprojectM, so there's no GUI code, but the rendering has changed considerably - read my post from earlier in the thread to see where I got to. I'm afraid I've got a bunch of other commitments at the moment so I haven't had a chance to look into this yet.

I would give it a go, but dont have the time atm....if noone else picks it up I will in the new year....

[mots]

Any progress on this?

[_jon]

is there a way we could integrate it on our ow?

[spiff]

sure. compile it, glue it to xbmc - just like any other dev would

[ashlar]

I guess this is a simple bump. I would like for Milkdrop 2 to be supported.

Edit: should it be easier under Windows? Or what foobar2000 does with shpeck it's out of reach for XBMC (for very valid reasons, probably)?

I can't compile xbmc from today git repo

any ideas ?

after aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx I solved my problem

[ashlar]

Any new developer interested, maybe?

[Cryptic1]

Any news on this? Or Milkdrop 2? Those pixel shaders are so nice in Winamp, but if they made it to XBMC I could finally get rid of Winamp. I think more people would use XBMC if the visuals were upgraded. I know MY friends would. That's really the only thing I can think of that would make it better.

[deh2k7]

I'd like to +1 this.

I had another look at this. The real problem is that XBMC has essentially forked libprojectM - they've maintained a local copy of the library, and just hacked on it inside the XBMC tree, rather than maintaining it in a separate respository. Unfortunately, this sort of thing was done for a long time in the XBMC project, though it's significantly improved now.

I could probably extract at least a consolidated diff if I knew what version was originally dropped into the XBMC repo. As it stands I'm looking at little over 1000 lines of XBMC patches to libprojectM, assuming the in-tree version was based on libprojectM-1.2.0

Bump. Would also love to see projectM 2.1 in XBMC. If it's somehow possible.
